Manage episode 411559948 series 3559653
Do you worry about how much you drink?
Health conscious, high achieving women who prioritize clean eating, exercise, anti-aging supplements and skin care routines tend to have a lot of anxiety when it comes to alcohol.
You know drinking is a bad habit, yet giving up the reward at the end of a stressful day feels impossible.
But instead of setting realistic goals to change, you beat yourself up for not being perfect…and secretly worry that you might have to quit drinking for good. Because you seem to lose control after one or two drinks.
When you compare yourself to your friends, you're less worried. But you don’t actually know how much they drink beyond social situations. And you’re afraid to ask.
The criteria for alcohol use disorder has nothing to do with how much alcohol you drink. It’s a subjective assessment based on a single question: do you drink more than you think you should drink?
Which means you’re dealing with a thinking problem, not a drinking problem.
In this episode you’ll learn:
The 5 mistakes that turn normal drinkers into overdrinkers
Why the solution to over-drinking is not abstinence
How to interrupt the thought patterns that make you crave alcohol
