"It's like trying to drown a beach ball - eventually, it pops back up when you run out of effort."
Ever wondered why your mind feels like it's in a constant tug-of-war when it comes to quitting alcohol? This episode of the Brain Over Booze Podcast, hosted by the ever-insightful Jordan Vonk, dives into the concept of cognitive dissonance - that pesky inner conflict where you hold two opposing beliefs at the same time. Jordan breaks down how this mental struggle mirrors the experience of someone who wants to stop drinking but is afraid of letting go.
Imagine wanting to jet off on an adventure but being terrified of flying - that's the kind of internal battle many face with alcohol. Jordan shares his own journey of overcoming addiction and how he resolved his inner conflict through a personal contract. It's not about battling with willpower, but rather rewiring the brain to change its relationship with alcohol.
By creating a values-based personal contract, Jordan explains how he managed to quieten the roar of cravings to a mere whisper, making the process feel almost effortless. He uses relatable analogies and a dash of humour to explain how this method can transform one's approach to quitting alcohol, making it sound as simple as choosing not to drink diesel fuel. It's all about aligning your conscious and unconscious mind for lasting change.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck in their journey towards sobriety or seeking a fresh perspective on resolving inner conflicts. Are you ready to explore how a personal contract might be your ticket to freedom from alcohol?
