You really aren't consciously thinking about it. Right, alcohol is a substance that you can't control, and that is why you feel out of control right now, because you keep trying to make different decisions. And where you can take control is by understanding where your thinking is and where it needs to be for you to reduce your desire for alcohol.
Ever feel like your drinking habits are on autopilot? In this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff tackles the common belief that drinking 'just happens'. Mary breaks down why alcohol often feels like an automatic response, akin to brushing your teeth. She dives into the science behind alcohol's grip on our behavior and how it conditions us to crave more. But here's the kicker: drinking is always a choice, even when it feels out of your control.
Mary explores why some moments are easier to resist than others and how you can regain control where it seems impossible. She offers practical strategies to address the underlying reasons for your drinking and shows you how to implement these changes in your daily life. By understanding the 'why' behind your drinking, you can start to make conscious choices and mitigate those moments when it 'just happens'.
If you're ready to take back control and transform your relationship with alcohol, this episode is a must-listen.
