E132: How to Quit Drinking and Get Past the First Week
Dec 30, 2022•17 min•Ep. 132
Episode description
I’ve stopped drinking 3 times, and each time I thought I could just stop and that was that. I thought stopping was the hard part and that drinking was my only problem. It wasn’t until I was months into my current sober streak that I realized I had to do a lot of work. We build our lives around alcohol, so if you just remove the alcohol, then you’re going to feel the void and be triggered all the time. In this episode I’m going to cover 10 tips to stop drinking and stay sober. These are for anyone, whether you had a drink last night or you have years of sobriety and want a refresher.
What to listen to next:
E77: are non-alcoholic drinks ok to drink?
E124: how long does it take to fully recover?
E125: why you can't stop drinking once you start
E32: a conversation with my husband
E114: why we believe alcohol helps and how to break those beliefs
E110: 5 reasons people relapse and what to do about it
