31. [Pep Talk] For When You’re Craving A Drink - Listen to THIS

This episode is one you’re going to want to save and come back to—especially for those moments when a craving hits and you need a voice reminding you why you started.

I recorded this as a pep talk just for you. In it, I share the exact inner dialogue and steps that helped me push through cravings in my early days of sobriety. We’ll talk about what’s really happening in your body and brain when you feel the urge to drink, why alcohol never actually delivers what it promises, and what you can do instead when that old voice gets loud.

Here’s what you’ll hear inside this episode: 💭 The mindset shifts that kept me from giving in to “just one” 🧠 A quick breakdown of what alcohol does to your brain and why cravings feel so intense 🌱 Practical alternatives you can reach for instead of a drink 💛 A reminder that you’re not alone—community and support are always here for you

Think of this episode like a pocket pep talk—a resource you can hit play on whenever cravings show up, so you don’t have to fight them alone.
