152. Reduce, Replace, R… The Third R of Mindful Drinking

Send me a message 🤗Everyone bangs on about the first two Rs of mindful drinking – reduce and replace. But what about the third? This week, I'm tackling the missing piece of the moderation puzzle that nobody talks about: remove. I'm not talking about removing alcohol entirely (unless that's your goal). I'm talking about removing all the negative rubbish that comes with choosing to drink differently – the shame, the embarrassment, the social pressure, and that perfectionist trap that tells you one slip-up means total failure. Because without all three Rs working together, you're trying to balance on a two-legged stool, and we all know how that ends.0:01 The Problem With A Two-Legged Stool1:36 The First R: Reduce2:47 The Second R: Replace5:18 The Third R: Remove6:56 Ditching Shame And Embarrassment7:57 Can't Drink Like A 20 Year Old9:54 Social Pressure And Changing Friendships11:48 Escaping Perfectionism And Binary Thinking14:00 Flexible Choices On A Night Out16:21 The Three Rs & Meaningful Change17:05 Get More From Me On Substack Join the membership and get the resources you need to make the change you want - https://mindfuldrinking.substack.com/s/the-vault ===You can email me at [email protected]===🗝️ Join the membership and unlock full access to The Vault - https://mindfuldrinking.substack.com/s/the-vault===*Some links are affiliate links.
