Sober Goals 2.0: Patrick Fox's Blueprint for Lasting Change

Setting a goal is a good opportunity to show yourself you know what comes up when you think about not drinking. Okay, and then, when you have that choice, just notice what is the resistance that comes up for you.
Ever thought about what it takes to set and achieve meaningful goals in your journey to sobriety? In this episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick Fox revisits the concept of 'Sober Goals' with fresh insights and strategies. Building on a previous episode, Patrick dives into the art of goal-setting, emphasizing the importance of having clear and compelling reasons for your objectives.
He introduces the '5 Why’s' technique, a method that digs deep into your motivations, helping you align your goals with your core values and needs. One key highlight is his discussion on self-judgment and how it can be a major roadblock. Patrick offers practical advice on becoming aware of the stories your mind tells you and how to navigate through them. He touches on concepts like 'Faded Affect Bias' and shares wisdom from William Porter's 'Alcohol Explained'.
The episode also covers the '4 C’s'—Commitment, Courage, Capability, and Confidence—essential traits for anyone looking to make lasting changes. Patrick's approach is both compassionate and practical, urging listeners to practice self-love over self-criticism. He even delves into 'habit stacking', a technique to build new, positive habits that support your sobriety goals. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your approach, this episode is packed with actionable tips and heartfelt advice to help you succeed.
Tune in and discover how deliberate thinking and clear goals can transform your journey to an alcohol-free life.
