Instead of deciding on a number of drinks ahead of time, making a conscious decision on the number of drinks a person will have, they choose to try to moderate or hope to abstain.
Ever felt like you're just 'hoping' to drink less but not seeing any real change? In this episode of 'The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast', Molly Watts dives into why simply trying to cut back on alcohol isn't enough to transform your relationship with it. Molly argues that without a concrete plan, you’re setting yourself up for failure.
She discusses the two main reasons people avoid planning: shame about the number of drinks they want and fear of not sticking to the plan. But here's the twist—Molly believes that even if you don't meet your plan, it doesn't mean you've failed. Instead, she encourages you to approach these moments with compassion and curiosity, rather than guilt.
Molly offers practical tips on how to create and stick to a drinking plan, emphasizing that planning ahead can actually give you more control and freedom. She also highlights the importance of community support in your journey to becoming an alcohol minimalist. If you're serious about changing your drinking habits, this episode is packed with insights and strategies that can help you make lasting changes. Tune in and find out how a proactive approach can make all the difference.
