The Hidden Battle: How Decision Fatigue Fuels Alcoholism

When you're making fewer decisions, you're making better decisions because you don't have the decision fatigue. If you don't spend All Day thinking about those, there is a chance that you can resist that bowl of ice cream at the end of the night.
Picture this: you wake up determined to quit drinking, but by evening, you're pouring another glass. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis tackle the sneaky culprit behind this cycle—decision fatigue. They break down how the constant need to make choices wears us out, leading to poor decisions and, for many, a return to drinking.
Matt and Sheri share their personal experiences, shedding light on how alcohol complicates decision-making and creates a self-perpetuating loop of regret and relapse. The hosts don't just stop at identifying the problem; they also discuss practical strategies for self-care that can help break this exhausting cycle. From setting boundaries to simplifying daily choices, they offer actionable advice to help listeners reclaim their mental energy.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the dual challenges of addiction and decision fatigue. It's a raw, honest conversation that offers both insight and hope for those looking to find their way out of the fog.
