Feel Good Alcohol-Free with Lindsay Hennekey

Episode 35: Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable


Listen Later

In this week's episode, Lindsay lays it all out there: if you want to quit drinking, then get comfortable being uncomfortable. Your ability to change is directly tied to your willingness to be uncomfortable -  because nothing great happens when we stay in the comfort zone. It's in the moments when you let yourself sit in the real, awkward (and sometimes really awkward) discomfort, that you are making progress. 

Whether it's stumbling through conversations at your first alcohol-free work outing, or over-sharing to your Grandmother about why you aren't drinking at this year's Thanksgiving dinner, know that not only can you handle it, but you are building confidence as you do it.

  • Here is this week's assignment: Take a look at your calendar for the next week and pick an upcoming event where you would normally drink, but in this case you aren't. After the event, reflect in your journal (or a voice note to yourself) on the following questions: 
    • When were you uncomfortable? 
    • What was uncomfortable about it? 
    • What surprised you about how you handled the discomfort?
    • What felt new about not drinking?
    • What felt good about not drinking?

And remember, Lindsay is a sober coach, not a health professional. If you are chemically dependent on alcohol (or think you might be), consult your doctor on the steps you need to take to safely detox.
