If you are holding on to regret or guilt or shame about your past behaviors with alcohol, I want you to ask yourself: is holding on to those feelings helping you change your relationship with alcohol now?
Ever feel like your past drinking mistakes are haunting you? In this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly Watts dives deep into how our past experiences with alcohol can shape our current relationship with it. She tackles the heavy hitters—shame and regret—and how these emotions can keep us stuck in a loop of negative behavior. Many of us have those cringe-worthy memories of over-drinking or doing something we regret, and it’s easy to let those moments define us.
But Molly explains that holding onto these feelings doesn’t help us move forward. Instead, they can trap us in a cycle of guilt and even push us to drink more as a way to cope. Molly sheds light on how our thoughts about past behavior often create these feelings of shame and regret.
She talks about the dangers of black-and-white thinking—believing we’re either 'good' or 'bad' based on our drinking habits—and how this mindset can be a major roadblock to positive change. Through relatable stories and practical advice, Molly offers strategies to release these negative emotions and build a healthier relationship with alcohol.
Whether you’re looking to cut back or simply want to understand your drinking habits better, this episode provides valuable insights to help you break free from the past and move towards a more peaceful future.
