And this is my personal philosophy. I'm not talking about harm reduction, where people feel like they can do it a little bit and then learn the strategy at the same time. I haven't seen that happen, because alcohol hijacks our reward system and alcohol hijacks our ability to learn new things.
Have you ever thought, 'I want to be sober, but I still want to drink'? Belle Robertson tackles this common dilemma head-on in her One Minute Message. As a dedicated sober coach, Belle shares her candid views on why harm reduction – drinking less while trying to learn new coping strategies – simply doesn’t work.
According to Belle, alcohol hijacks our brain's reward system, making it impossible to truly learn and implement effective self-care and soothing techniques while still consuming it. Instead, she advocates for complete abstinence as the only way to force ourselves to develop new, healthier habits. Her message is straightforward yet powerful, urging listeners to reflect on the role of alcohol in their lives and consider the benefits of fully committing to sobriety.
If you're grappling with the idea of quitting drinking or seeking fresh perspectives on staying sober, this episode offers a quick but impactful dose of wisdom. Tune in for Belle's honest insights and find out why removing alcohol entirely is crucial for genuine self-improvement.
