Most people just want to quit drinking or they even quit, but they don't have these strategic plans and systems in place for when these types of higher risk situation, people and events are all of a sudden in their present moment.
Ever felt the pressure to drink at social events but wanted to take a break without anyone noticing? In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Chris Scott and Matt Finch share their insights on how to gracefully sidestep alcohol without drawing unwanted attention. They dive into practical strategies for handling peer pressure and navigating those inevitable awkward questions about why you're not drinking.
The hosts emphasize the importance of having a game plan and rehearsing responses to feel more confident and at ease in social settings. One standout tip is that many people who quit drinking don't prepare for high-risk situations, which can make them more challenging. By planning ahead and practicing what to say, you can handle these moments with confidence and poise. Additionally, Chris and Matt discuss the role of supplements in supporting your body and mind during recovery.
While there's no magic solution, certain supplements can be beneficial, though it's crucial to avoid replacing one addiction with another. The episode also touches on the importance of understanding your brain and triggers, which can help you make better decisions and lead a healthier life. Whether you're taking a temporary break or aiming for long-term sobriety, this episode offers valuable advice to help you navigate social events smoothly.
