You know that feeling when you're thinking about drinking later and your stomach drops because you're already worried about overdoing it? Or when you come home from vacation and you're genuinely afraid you won't be able to stop with the daily drinking?

That's reentry syndrome. And it's not what you think it is.

Most people think if they could just be stronger, more disciplined, or finally "get it together," they wouldn't feel this way.

But what if I told you that reentry syndrome is a straight up trauma response? The reason you feel out of control is because you're overwhelmed?

In this episode, you'll discover:

🔥 The hidden reason you think about drinking even when you're not drinking (hint: it's not because you're obsessed with alcohol)

🔥 What your nervous system is really trying to tell you when anxiety about your drinking shows up on a random Thursday afternoon

🔥 The exact thought pattern that keeps you stuck in the "I can't stop" loop—and how to interrupt it

🔥 A powerful 5-minute exercise to rewrite the toxic beliefs that are running your life (you'll want to grab a pen for this one)

🔥 Why taking a break from drinking doesn't cure reentry syndrome (and what does)

🔥 Specific somatic practices you can use the moment anxiety hits to calm your nervous system and get out of the spiral

Here's the truth: Your drinking habits aren't the problem. They're the symptom. And once you understand what's really driving your behavior, you'll have the power to change it.

If you're tired of living in fear of yourself, this episode will show you a completely different way forward.
