If you think you have to do everything "just right" in order to succeed, you might be falling into the trap of perfectionism.

In this episode, we look at how perfectionism quietly sabotages your efforts to change your drinking habits.

When you expect flawless success or believe one slip means total failure, you’re setting yourself up to quit on your goals too soon. I’ll show you a better, more sustainable way to keep moving forward.

I’ll dive into:

  • how perfectionism shows up when you're trying to cut back on alcohol;
  • why setting "perfect" goals and expecting perfect execution sets you up for disappointment;
  • practical strategies to stay committed even when things don’t go to plan.

If you're serious about building a healthier relationship with alcohol, learning how to work with your perfectionism—not against it—will change everything.
