If you want to reduce the amount of drinking you do or you want to stop altogether, your three main options are going to be number one, white knuckling, also known as self-will sobriety, which is when you're doing it on your own, trying to figure it out, and it can take a long time to figure it out and it usually doesn't work for people with real problems, real drinking problems, but it's an option.
Feeling stuck in a cycle of drinking and wondering how to break free? In this episode of the Sober Mofos Podcast, Dirk Foster lays out three different paths to help you either cut down or quit drinking altogether. Whether you're considering going it alone, seeking one-on-one guidance, or joining a group, Dirk has some solid advice for you. He starts with 'white-knuckling', a method where you rely solely on your willpower.
It's tough and can take a while, but for some, it's the way to go. Next, he talks about sobriety coaching, where a professional coach offers personalized support and accountability. Finally, he dives into group recovery programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, which provide a community of people who understand what you're going through. Each method has its ups and downs, and Dirk doesn't shy away from discussing them all.
This episode is perfect for anyone at a crossroads, trying to figure out the best way forward. Tune in to hear Dirk's honest take on each approach and find the one that might work best for you.
