Molly Watts takes a deep dive into one of the most common questions in alcohol recovery: 'How long will it take to feel at peace with my relationship with alcohol?' In this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly breaks down why the answer is more nuanced than you might expect. If you've ever wondered if 12 weeks, 30 days, or a year is enough to change your drinking habits, Molly has some eye-opening insights for you.
She stresses that while changing your mindset is crucial, it’s only one part of the equation. The real game-changer? Taking consistent action.

She highlights practical steps like tracking your drinks, practicing alcohol-free days, and interrupting automatic drinking habits. These actions are essential for breaking old patterns and creating new ones.
Molly’s approach is both compassionate and no-nonsense. She encourages listeners to be kind to themselves but not to use self-compassion as an excuse to stay stuck. Real change requires real effort. So, if you’re serious about changing your relationship with alcohol, this episode is a must-listen. Molly's blend of science-backed strategies and personal anecdotes makes for an engaging and informative session. Ready to take the next step?
