Episode Title: Why Goals Alone Won't Help You Drink Less: Embracing Your Values.
Welcome to the Drink Less Booze Live: How You Choose podcast, I'm your host Dr Fiona Dowman, a qualified Clinical Psychologist in the UK.
Episode Summary:
In this first episode, I delve into the importance of values when attempting to cut back on alcohol. I illustrate these insights with a story about Ian, a fictional character whose struggle with drinking impacts his job and family life. I explore how identifying and focusing on personal values like stability can help in making decisions that align with those values, thereby reducing the craving for alcohol.
I provide practical strategies and questions to help you identify your own values. The episode concludes with a note on the complex but worthwhile journey of values-driven change.
