The only way to dismantle old thoughts is to prove them wrong through emotional embodiment. When it comes to alcohol the the ability to think on purpose gets over run by the powerful and avoided sensations of urges and the other emotions that trigger them.
Habitual alcohol consumption is a form of reinforced trauma.
The use of alcohol, as the great invalidator says again and again, THE WAY YOU ARE ISN'T OKAY.

You can change your thoughts on purpose all you want, but until you interrupt your ETA at the emotion by experiencing it, that thought will still have power over you.

Today I teach an embodied practice for how to process you emotions and make SPACE and access to new thinking. Days get dark, emotions get heavy, relief comes when you surrender to what wants to come through your body.

Alcohol is the solution to the problem of drinking. Say what?!?
When you get to this place, your dopamine reserves are always dipping below your baseline, creating a deficit.  This robs you from the  pleasures of natural dopamine rewards from things like hugs, food, cooking, dancing, playing, community and exercise.
Places where you once found meaning.
Places where you found purpose and pleasure for pleasures sake.
It wasn't always a hike AND a micro brew.
No that you KNOW what's happening in your body, you can find out where you are stacking pleasure and do one thing at a time.
Focus.
Stop multitasking.
Stop eating AND watching TV.
Stop scrolling instagram while you are helping your kids with their home work.
Does a cozy evening need to be cozier with a hot toddy?
Why are you drinking? Exhausted by abundance but yet we can't just chill.

Being present with the pleasure of pursuing the things you enjoy is where you find your purpose.

In today's episode I discuss:
What does  PURPOSE mean and how do you find yours?
How to use your purpose to stop over indulging.
Where your attention goes, dopamine flows. You only have so much. How are you using your most motivating neurotransmitter?
Why your life might seem dull and meaningless without alcohol.
How to change your relationship to alcohol and have a steady long lasting joy VS. short term pleasure that has no benefit.

My wonderfully graceful client, Paula, learned that the only way to change, was to first admit what was wrong. Paula found herself and on the other side of the empty nest and was experiencing a transition in her purpose and identity.  The emotions became easier to avoid with wine, until the wine became the real problem. Changes in life create new thoughts and new emotions, especially when those changes affect the core of who you are and how you relate to life. In essence , they trigger the fight or flight mode.  The nervous system isn't regulating, hormones and chemicals are shifting and you are figuring out a new way to survive. 

Wine seemed like the familiar quick fix and a little pick me up to process the day to day.
Until the desire for it starts to our weight the discomfort of the initial problems it was solving.
Paula's couragousness to come clean to herself about the fear of changing her relationship to alcohol, was the first step.
Loving herself, the second.
And staying committed to a new way, the third.
Hear her incredible journey and all of the stress she was able to relieve just from NOT drinking.  And about the permission she was able to give herself to enjoy peace for a job well done.
Thank you, Paula, you are truly amazing. xxoo

How to stop caring what other people think about you drinking. (hint: they don't)
Your relationship to alcohol is no one else's business but your own.
The fourth mistake people make when trying to quit drinking is trying to read other peoples minds. When you are all in on a choice you have made, you care little about what other's think. Work on your own beliefs about alcohol first and then other people will follow suit, you also won't care if they do.

Thinking that if you could just change alcohol might be accessible. The truth is, when you change and grow a more intimate relationship to yourself, you no longer DESIRE alcohol.
