This podcast is for you if: • You've gotten to a place where you're drinking more alcohol than you want but are struggling to cut back or stop • You're tired of spending so much time thinking about drinking • You're sick of breaking promises to yourself about how much you'll drink • You're beating yourself up for not being able to control how much you drink
I'll give you tools & concepts to help you get to a place where you don't feel deprived if you don't drink. You won't be relying on willpower, white-knuckling it. It doesn't matter if you've tried 100x before. You can do it. I'll help you.
People tell me they're worried about drinking too much over the holidays but they don't think they'll be able to have fun if they limit how much they drink.
In this episode, I talk about why this is a great time to work on drinking less (rather than waiting until after the New Year) & some tips for doing that.
You can drink less & enjoy the holidays.You can drink less & enjoy your life.

Many people who are drinking more alcohol than they want struggle with whether they want to stop drinking alcohol completely or just cut back. Most people that work with me still want to drink, they just want to feel more in control of how much they are drinking. They are worried that they won't be happy if they stop drinking completely & also worried that they won't be able to do it.
In this episode, I talk about my recommendations for how to think about each option and how to proceed.

Drinking alcohol to avoid negative feelings is a common practice among people who are over-drinking. While it may seem like a good solution to numb emotional pain, it can quickly spiral into a harmful habit that is very difficult to break. Ignoring our feelings doesn’t solve the problems that caused them. It also can lead to additional issues, like anxiety, self-loathing, & shame. It takes courage to face our feelings, but it is a necessary step towards a happier & healthier life.
Learn more about dealing with your feelings rather than reaching for a drink in this episode.

Feeling stuck, indecisive & frustrated are clues that you've put yourself in a lose-lose situation.
You may be in a lose-lose situation having to do with your drinking:

You stop drinking & feel deprived & sad = LOSE
You may also be in a lose-lose situation having to do with something else in your life which leads you to drink.
