Escaping the Traps: Simple Steps to Change Your Drinking Habits

Episode Overview

  • Stop waiting for the 'perfect' moment to make a change in your drinking habits
  • Embrace mistakes as part of the process and continue taking action towards your goals
  • Focus on creating a 24-hour doable drink plan rather than projecting too far into the future
  • Utilize the behavior map result cycle to understand and overcome obstacles in changing drinking behaviour
  • Practice compassionate self-reflection and curiosity to navigate challenges in altering drinking habits
You can stop worrying, stop feeling guilty about overdrinking, and become someone who desires alcohol less.
Ever felt stuck in your drinking habits, like no matter what you try, you just can't seem to make a change? In this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly Watts gets real about the 'traps' that keep us from taking action. These aren't just any traps—they're sneaky ones that trick us into thinking we need to wait for the perfect moment or hit rock bottom before we can start making changes.
Molly breaks down three big ones: waiting for the right time, letting mistakes define us, and focusing too much on the distant future instead of the next 24 hours. But don't worry, she's got some solid advice on how to sidestep these pitfalls. Plus, Molly dives into common beliefs about alcohol, like thinking it helps with stress or makes things more fun, and how these beliefs can hold us back.
Whether you're looking to cut back or just understand your drinking habits better, this episode is packed with practical tips and a dose of encouragement to help you get started on a healthier path.
