A habit is something we do often, something we don't have to think about, and something we do as a response to all of these situations in our lives, all of the belief systems that we have, all of the conditioning that we have around alcohol.
Ever wondered why it's so hard to kick the habit of drinking? In this episode of 'The Alcohol ReThink Podcast', Patrick Fox unpacks the science and psychology behind our habits. He explains how our brains don't see habits as good or bad—they're just automatic actions we repeat. Patrick dives into the concept of 'habit loops', those repetitive cycles that keep us reaching for a drink without even thinking about it.
But don’t worry, he’s got some practical advice on how to break these loops and form healthier habits instead. One key takeaway is the importance of being kind to yourself during this journey. Self-criticism can actually make things harder, so Patrick encourages a mindset of self-compassion and curiosity. He also urges listeners to dig deep and ask themselves why they drink in the first place. Is it stress, boredom, or something else? Understanding your triggers can be a game-changer.
If you're looking for support, Patrick mentions resources like his 30-day email mindset-reset series, 'The Alcohol ReThink Project'. Whether you're thinking about taking a break from alcohol or quitting for good, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to help you on your journey.
