Life After Alcohol: Navigating Thoughts About Drinking Without Drinking
Episode #335  Drinking thoughts can be frustrating after you stop drinking. I have had many conversations with women recently that prompted this episode.  If you're in "them", you're going to get through them. Drinking to quiet the thoughts only makes them stick around.  In this episode, I talk about the most common thoughts many midlife women experience, like "I could have just one," "I deserve a drink," and "Why can’t I drink like others?"  I share a walk-through of what my day looked like after I stopped drinking—from waking up proud of not drinking, through the growing anticipation and stronger thoughts by afternoon and evening, to making it through despite the discomfort. I talk about some of the reasons why these thoughts come up and why they did for me personally. And, I share ideas to help you navigate these thoughts without drinking and remind you that, in time, they won't be as consistent.  If you're in "the thoughts", you're going to get through them. Drinking to quiet the thoughts only makes them stick around.  I'm with you!    Download the free Daily Sobriety Toolkit here.    Mentioned in this episode:  Article: Imagining Future Events Changes the Brain to Improve Healthy Decision Making Send me an email ✉️ Hellolori@lorimassicot.com   Private Coaching for Midlife Women  You and me = a Team to help you create and live an alcohol-free lifestyle.  I'm so passionate about the work that I do.
