Why You Drink When You Don’t Want To — And How to Stop for Good


Listen Later

Ever find yourself pouring a drink thinking, “I don’t even want this…”?
In this episode, we’re going deep into the neuroscience of cravings, the patterns behind self-sabotage, and most importantly — how to get back in the driver’s seat of your brain.
You’ll learn exactly what it takes to interrupt the pattern, rewire your brain, and take back authority over your decisions — even in the hardest moments.
Whether you’re early in sobriety or stuck in “start-over” mode, this is your guide to finally feeling clear, confident, and in control of your recovery — without shame and without starting over.
This one is packed with science, strategy, and the real-talk I wish I had in early sobriety.
You’ll hear:
Why your survival brain overrides logic (and how to interrupt it)
How to rewire reward loops and stop white-knuckling every craving
3 coaching tools to break the pattern without breaking yourself
How to lead yourself with clarity instead of fear
And if you’re ready to stop spinning in start-over cycles and finally feel in control of your sobriety — this is your roadmap.
