No situation is made better by alcohol. The moment that you are experiencing is the moment, just because it is, it's got really nothing to do with what you're drinking.
Ever felt the nagging pull of old drinking habits just when you thought you had moved past them? Gayle Macdonald, host of 'Sober Bliss', dives into this all-too-common experience in her latest episode. She tackles the fading affect bias, a psychological phenomenon where the negative emotions associated with past drinking start to fade, making the idea of having a drink seem more appealing than it should.
Gayle calls out the 'wine witch'—that sneaky voice that tempts you back to old ways—and offers practical advice on how to stay strong in your sobriety. In this episode, Gayle doesn't just talk about the struggles; she also shares strategies to help you find joy in your alcohol-free life. She reminds us why we chose this path in the first place and how to keep those reasons front and center.
From celebrating small victories to finding new ways to enjoy social events, Gayle's tips are both practical and inspiring. This episode is perfect for anyone who has ever questioned their decision to quit drinking or felt the lure of old habits creeping back in. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been alcohol-free for years, Gayle's warm and understanding approach makes you feel like you're chatting with a friend who truly gets it.
Tune in to 'Sober Bliss' for a dose of encouragement and some valuable tools to keep you on track.
