Fight or Flight: How to Melt Anxiety When Stopping Drinking

Week 3 of Sober October and I'm focusing on anxiety managment this month. It's never lost on me just how ironic it is that we've been conditioned to drink a substance to calm our anxiety that actually raises our anxiety. Stopping drinking can leave us feeling raw and having to face many of the anxieties we've been numbing with alcohol. This episode, I give you several tactics to manage anxiety while not drinking, so you can learn to give your brain and body what they really need.I love the cultural momentum of Sober October because it's a unique opportunity to reassess our drinking habits. I offer you a fresh perspective on this effort: you don't have to use willpower and feel left out and deprived! You can reframe your mindset and feel like you are gaining rather than missing out. Using this month as an opportunity to explore the narratives that keep us stuck in a drinking cycle is what it's all about. I offer multiple strategies and insights from neuroscience and positive psychology so you can explore how you've been conditioned to drink, and how you can make conscious changes, and embrace an alcohol-free lifestyle, promoting joy, connection, and true potential without the crutch of drinking.Ready to start your Sober October?
