16. Shifting the Narrative Right Now: Using Confirmation Bias to Support Your Alcohol-Free Life

Our brains are wild, aren’t they? 🧠

In this episode, I’m digging into a little something called confirmation bias—how our minds are constantly searching for evidence to support what we already believe. And yep, that sneaky habit can either help your sobriety… or seriously hold you back.

Here’s what we unpack together:

🔍 What confirmation bias is and why it matters 🥴 How it can quietly sabotage your alcohol-free journey 🌀 How to reframe your thoughts so quitting drinking feels empowering—not like a punishment 💭 Real-life examples from my own experience, including my journey as a mom to a daughter with special needs 🗣️ How to change the story you’re telling yourself (because your words matter more than you think)

If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t do this” or “This is too hard,” this episode is for you. Let’s start choosing thoughts that support the future you actually want to create.
