I want you to acknowledge that alcohol itself isn't the problem. There are thoughts there and, though they may be unconscious, you have thoughts about alcohol being poured that fuel your desire.
Ever thought about why you reach for that drink? In this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, host Molly Watts dives deep into the mindset behind our drinking habits. She challenges the notion that alcohol itself is the root of the problem. Instead, she points out that it's our thoughts and stories about alcohol that keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns. These thoughts can be sneaky, often lurking in our subconscious, yet they hold a powerful grip on our behaviors.
Molly offers a fresh perspective on how to break these habits by fostering a mindful relationship with alcohol. She emphasizes the importance of following low-risk drinking guidelines to alleviate anxiety around alcohol use. But she doesn't shy away from acknowledging that alcohol can be highly addictive and, in some cases, lead to physical dependence. For those situations, she stresses the need for professional help.
However, for those looking to reshape their relationship with alcohol, understanding and reworking our thoughts about drinking is key. By creating new, positive stories around alcohol, we can pave the way for a peaceful and balanced life. Molly wraps up the episode by inviting listeners to join her group coaching sessions, designed to help build momentum on this journey.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone eager to break free from old drinking habits and embrace a more peaceful existence with alcohol.
