When youâre out with friends and everyone orders drinks, you might have thoughts like, âWell, you only live once. I want to enjoy it!â Despite wanting to drink less (or not at all), you order yourself a drink too.
You might think that having more discipline in moments like these would help you resist, but I'm here to tell you that discipline, willpower, and scare tactics arenât the solution.
In this episode, I break down two essential steps to help you navigate social situations without alcohol. We explore how to work with your specific Drink Archetype to understand the deeper desires behind your cravings, and I show you exactly what your brain learns when you consistently use alcohol in social settings.

When someone successfully moderates their drinking or says no to alcohol in situations where they previously would have reached for a drink, they tend to view it as a fluke and go back to worrying about when they'll slip up again. But was it a fluke?
As humans, we often attribute our wins to external factors - the circumstances, other people, or pure luck - rather than acknowledging our own role in making better choices. However, this mindset of not taking credit for your achievements actually makes it harder to create lasting change. So, itâs time to start recognizing the agency you exercised in these moments, even if it didnât feel present in the moment.
Sobriety coach Adriana Cloud is back on the show this week, helping you explore the thoughts and feelings that drive successful choices around alcohol, so you can create a blueprint for repeating those results over and over, instead of dismissing your progress as a fluke.

Have you ever woken up after drinking too much and immediately thought either, âI f*cked upâ or âI must be f*cked up?â These two seemingly similar thoughts actually reveal deep-rooted societal beliefs about drinking problems that might be keeping you stuck.
It doesn't matter your age, gender, education level, or socioeconomic status â these thoughts show up consistently and create major roadblocks to changing your drinking habits.
In this episode, youâll learn where these thoughts come from, why they're so harmful, and what you need to understand instead. This line of thinking leads to shame and self-blame that make lasting change nearly impossible, and itâs time to break free from this vicious cycle of pathologizing your behavior around alcohol.

Have you ever set a firm intention not to drink, only to find your good intentions fall apart later in the day? It's a frustrating cycle that can leave you wondering what's wrong with you. But here's the truth: your good intentions aren't failing because of some personal flaw. They're failing because they're missing a crucial element.
On last weekâs show, you learned why good intentions are just visions without plans. Today, youâll learn the exact practice you need when temptation strikesâand it's probably not like anything youâve been told before.
Tune in to discover why simply having good intentions isn't enough when it comes to changing your drinking habits. Rather than fighting temptation, youâll get a technique to interrupt the habit cycle by simply acknowledging it with curiosity, and you'll gain the awareness needed to create lasting change in your relationship with alcohol.

Do you start each morning with the best of intentions for your drinking only to watch them crumble by evening? That frustrating cycle isn't a sign of personal failureâit's evidence that you're missing a crucial element in your approach to change.
The truth is, those morning intentions aren't the problem. They're genuine and meaningful, but when you tell yourself "I won't drink tonight" or "I'll stop after two glasses," you're creating a vision without a roadmap to get there.
Listen in this week to learn how you might be trapped in the "I should know better" mindset, how itâs sabotaging your progress, and how to finally break free from this frustrating cycle.

Do you set strict rules about when and how much you can drink, only to break them and feel worse than before?
When most people try to change their drinking habits, they immediately look for external parametersâonly drinking on weekends, limiting to two drinks, or never drinking before 6PM. But these arbitrary rules completely bypass the most important question: why do you want to drink in the first place?
So, what would change if you dropped the rules and actually put yourself in charge? Sobriety coach Adriana Cloud is back on the show this week to discuss why real transformation happens when you shift from rule-following to self-awareness.

Have you ever found yourself envious of people who seem to drink with ease?
If youâre changing your relationship with alcohol, envy toward ânormal drinkersâ might feel familiarâbut it also holds surprising insight into how your habit formed, and how you can begin to change it.
In this episode, youâll learn how understanding envy helps you uncover limiting beliefs, sheds light on your drink archetype, and offers a deeper understanding of what youâre really craving when you reach for a drink. Rather than pushing envy away, this work is all about looking at your envy and engaging with it in a way that serves you.
