Ep 349 Is There A More Appealing Reward Than Alcohol?

Who has found themselves drinking as a 'reward?' Reward for a long productive day. Reward for 'dealing with the in-laws.' Reward for being a parent to teenagers. Reward for 'being good' and going without drinking for a few days. The reward lists can be long. If you have found yourself 'reward drinking' this episode is for you! You might have even said 'I couldn't find an alternative reward that sounded more appealing...' And we talk about WHY you are seeking a reward and how nothing is going to give you the same hit as alcohol will in that moment. It's about how to be with whatever is happening with your emotional state at that time instead of 'rewarding' yourself. Why do you need a reward?
