Compliance vs. Consistency: A Fresh Perspective on Alcohol Habits
Episode Overview
Compliance involves rule-following, while consistency is value-based. Consistency allows for flexibility and adapts to life's changes. Rigid plans often lead to failure; flexible strategies promote success. Building a peaceful relationship with alcohol requires mindset shifts. Consistency provides a sustainable approach to habit change.
"True consistency is built for real life; it bends, adapts, and endures."
