E151: Why Your Attempts to Quit Drinking Aren't Working

from Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober · host Gillian Tietz, MS, CPRC

There are a lot of different ways to quit drinking and what works for 1 person won’t necessarily work for everyone. I think everyone has tried things that haven’t worked, so in this episode I’m going through some of my experiences. You’ll learn why these methods didn’t work for me and hopefully this will help you make some decisions about the ways you are trying to quit. If you've been trying to quit without success then this episode may give you a better idea of what's been going wrong. What to listen to next: E150: 15 moderation strategies I tried to gain control of my drinking E91: do you want to be sober or do you want to drink without the consequences? E143: how to stay accountable in your sobriety Resources I offer: Community & Meetings: Living a Sober Powered Life https://www.soberpowered.com/membership (Free Private Podcast) 5 Blocks Holding You Back From Quitting Drinking https://www.soberpowered.com/5blocks Weekly emails on Thursdays where I explain the latest episode in more detail, share images to help you understand the concepts, share announcements, interviews, writing, discount codes and more. https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6107260617e156c4839768b5 A free 3 day quit drinking challenge https://view.flodesk.com/pages/62f2cb3de5ea6b3d8aea4ab2 Ask a question, it could appear on the show! https://forms.gle/oKubeJKMZimkHvUJA   Thank you for supporting this show by supporting my sponsors.
