Ever wondered why disappointment seems to hit harder when you're trying to make a big change, like quitting alcohol? In this episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, host Patrick Fox dives into the tricky waters of disappointment, triggers, and resilience. Patrick, a men's life and sober coach, shares his personal journey of turning 40 and how his life has dramatically changed since he gave up alcohol a decade ago.
Reflecting on his own experiences, he discusses how disappointment can often lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms and how recognising your triggers is the first step to overcoming them. He highlights the importance of setting realistic expectations and adjusting them as needed to avoid the vicious cycle of disappointment and self-sabotage. Through humorous anecdotes and practical advice, Patrick emphasises that while disappointment is a natural part of life, it doesn't have to derail your progress.
Instead, it can be an opportunity to learn and grow. He encourages you to focus on the process rather than the outcome and to celebrate small victories along the way. By shifting your perspective on disappointment, you can build resilience and develop healthier ways to cope with life's challenges. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with alcohol addiction or looking to change their relationship with alcohol. It offers valuable insights into managing disappointment and building mental fortitude.
