If we didn't have that whole spectrum of feelings, then we wouldn't have that beautiful experience of life. We wouldn't know joy, we wouldn't know sadness, we wouldn't know loss, we wouldn't know birth.
What if you could manage your urge to drink without fighting it? In this episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick Fox steps away from his usual discussions to offer something unique—a 10-minute guided meditation aimed at helping you process the desire to drink. Drawing from his own experiences and expertise, Patrick emphasizes the importance of fully experiencing our emotions rather than suppressing them.
He challenges the outdated notion that men should not feel their emotions, suggesting that this belief only leads to more suffering and reliance on alcohol to numb the pain. Patrick invites you to examine your beliefs about masculinity and emotions before guiding you through a meditation that focuses on bodily sensations instead of thoughts. This practice encourages you to feel whatever arises without judgment, helping you recognize and process the urge to drink without acting on it.
By embracing this approach, you'll not only build self-awareness but also develop emotional resilience, making it easier to navigate life's challenges without turning to alcohol. So, take a moment to breathe deeply, listen to Patrick's soothing guidance, and discover how mindfulness can transform your relationship with your emotions and drinking habits.
