Do you have a secret fear that no matter how good it feels to stay sober, you won’t stick with it?

 

The fear may arise with a random alcohol craving that comes out of nowhere–a mysterious thirst that feels like a bottomless pit. 

 

Or you might remember how it feels to watch the sunset with a bottle of wine and start thinking, “OMG…I can’t ever do that again!” 

 

Or the fear comes with that dark cloud of depression that sucks the breath out of your chest and leaves you feeling hopeless and paralyzed. 

 

Here's the bottom line: you can’t prevent fear. But you can learn how to deal with it so that a bad moment doesn't spiral into a bad week, month or year.

 

By the time you finish listening to this episode, you’ll:

• Have a Jedi mind-trick for exactly how to process fear in real-time so it doesn't overwhelm you.

• Understand why labeling yourself as an alcoholic (or someone with a drinking problem) perpetuates fear of over-drinking

• See fear as an invitation to correct subconscious assumptions and rebuild your identity as a resilient, confident badass in complete control.
