Episode #327

I'm so glad you're here!

Please bookmark this episode if you need help in working through the "drinking chatter" and any romantic thoughts about drinking, if you are working on living an alcohol-free lifestyle. 

If you’re a woman in midlife working on living alcohol-free, this episode is for you.

“Playing the tape forward” is a favorite practice of many women who are working on living an alcohol-free lifestyle. One of the biggest challenges is the thoughts and ideas about drinking - the “drinking chatter” as I like to call it.

What “playing the tape forward” means:

It’s about being honest with yourself about your drinking. Visualizing what happens after the first sip of alcohol (which I walk you through in this episode) to the last, to help you get clear on what plays out for you. I help you get clear on what happens if you drink versus if you don’t.

Whether you drink occasionally or daily, this practice helps you see the real outcome of taking that first sip.

I also share a few of my journal entries from when I stopped drinking in 2013 that still help me remember the reality of my drinking.
