Episode 039: The Question to Ask Yourself That Changes Everything with Drinking
In this episode, I dive into a powerful question that changed everything for me in my sobriety journey—and how it might shift things for you too.
Here’s what we cover:
🌀 Understanding Grey Area Drinking (starts at 0:13)
I explain what “grey area drinking” actually is—the space between not drinking at all and full-blown alcohol dependency. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to take breaks, then starting again, you’re not alone.
💡 The Key Question That Helped Me Break the Cycle (starts at 2:42)
I share the simple but game-changing question I asked myself:
“Is this taking me further towards or away from feeling good, feeling well?”
This mindset shift was the beginning of real, lasting change.
🍷 The Truth About Alcohol’s So-Called Health Benefits (starts at 4:30)
We take a look at the outdated ideas around alcohol being “good for you,” and I unpack what the latest research says instead.
🧠 Challenging the Lies That Keep Us Drinking (starts at 7:59)
From “I need a drink to relax” to “I won’t enjoy the party without it,” I talk through the sneaky thoughts that keep us stuck—and how to let them drift on by without giving them power.
🌿 Reconnecting With Your Innate Well-Being (starts at 10:00)
You were born with a natural sense of well-being, and it’s still there—even if alcohol has clouded it. I share how you can start to reconnect with that deeper joy and clarity.
If this episode resonated and you’re ready to explore a life with more energy, peace and joy—without alcohol—I’d love to support you.
