EP 21: "Am I Drinking Too Much?” Google Said No… But I Knew Better

from Sober Fit Life · host Maureen Benkovich

In my very first solo episode of Sober Fit Life, I’m diving into a question that haunted me for years—and maybe haunts you too. 👉 “Do I have a problem with alcohol?” If you've ever found yourself lying awake at 3AM, heart racing, regretting another night of drinking and searching for online quizzes to tell you you're “fine”—this episode is for you. I talk about how confirmation bias and fading affect bias keep us stuck in drinking cycles we know aren't working… but keep returning to anyway. I’m not here to label anyone. I’m here to offer tools, compassion, and a new way to think about your relationship with alcohol—starting with a better question than “Am I an alcoholic?” 🔑 What I Cover: Why those “Am I an alcoholic?” quizzes don’t really help—and what I used to hope they'd say. The truth about confirmation bias and how we sabotage our own honesty. What fading affect bias is and how it tricks us into drinking again. Why “how much you drink” isn’t the most important question. The real power of asking: Could my life be better without alcohol? Why self-compassion (not shame) is the foundation for change. How long-time drinkers can start rewiring habits—with patience. A look at my new quiz: Am I Drinking Too Much? 📘 Resources I Mention: My FREE quiz + guide to understanding gray area drinking 💬 Want to learn more about the tools I offer? 👇 Am I Drinking Too Much Quiz   Six-Week Alcohol Reset Drink Less By Monday  Book a FREE Discovery Call Follow me on Instagram
