Drinking Alone & Drinking Secrecy: Why It's Important to Change

Ever wondered what it takes to shift drinking habits that often fly under the radar? In this engaging episode, Molly Watts tackles two behaviours that can quietly reinforce problematic patterns with alcohol: drinking alone and drinking secrecy. While these aren't direct diagnoses of alcohol use disorder, research shows they're linked to higher risks, especially when alcohol becomes a coping mechanism for stress or loneliness.

Molly sheds light on how these habits can manifest in everyday life and discusses the science behind them. She offers tools to recognise and shift these habits without shame or labels, promoting a peaceful relationship with alcohol. You'll find her approach refreshingly non-judgmental, encouraging listeners to ask themselves tough questions like "What purpose is this serving?" and "Is this really helping me relax?".

By tracking your reasons for drinking and creating new evening rituals, Molly helps you break free from autopilot drinking. She emphasises self-awareness as the key to change, reminding us that these behaviours are common but changeable. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to make incremental improvements in their relationship with alcohol. Are you ready to explore these patterns in your own life?
