Episode 48 | Why do I keep going back to drinking?

from The Wine O'Clock Woman · host Rebecca Thomson | The Wine O'clock Woman

If you've stopped drinking before... only to find yourself back where you started a few days or weeks later, this episode is for you.Most women think going back means they've failed.I don't.The truth is, if you take alcohol away without understanding why it became important in the first place, you'll almost always end up back there.The pressure still builds.The stress is still there.The habit still has a job to do.Until you replace what alcohol has been doing for you, your brain will keep offering it as the answer.In this episode, I'll explain why going back to drinking isn't a sign that you lack willpower.It's a sign that you've been trying to change the behaviour without understanding what's driving it.Once you understand that, everything starts to make a lot more sense.If this episode resonated with you, it may be a sign that you’ve been carrying more than you realise.Each month I run a FREE live Zoom workshop for women who are beginning to recognise the emotional patterns, people-pleasing, overthinking, exhaustion and self-abandonment that may be keeping them stuck.Inside the workshop, I talk about the “cycle” many women unknowingly live in, and how to start recognising the patterns that keep you emotionally exhausted, disconnected and running on autopilot.Save your place for the next workshop here:If you’d like to explore your own patterns more deeply, you can also book a free 30-minute conversation with me. Book your complimentary conversation here:Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical, psychological or therapeutic advice.
