Season 2 - Episode 19: The Starting Over Trap

If you feel like you’re constantly starting over when it comes to drinking… you’re not alone.Taking a break. Cutting back. Telling yourself “this time will be different.”And for a while, it works… until it doesn’t.In this episode, Abi talks about why that keeps happening — and why starting again isn’t actually the problem.After recently losing her Instagram accounts and being forced to rebuild from scratch, Abi found herself facing a very familiar thought:“Do I really want to start again?”And it made her realise just how similar this is to the stop-start cycle so many people experience with alcohol.In this episode, Abi explores: Why the “starting again” cycle feels so frustrating  What’s actually keeping you stuck (it’s not what you think)  Why willpower isn’t the issue  And what needs to change if you want something more sustainable If you’re tired of resetting, restarting, and wondering why it’s not sticking… this one’s for you.And if you’re ready to take the next step:✨ 30 Days to Freedom – a gentle reset for sober curious women ✨ Steady & Strong – a longer-term coaching partnership for lasting changeLinks are in the show notes below.You don’t have to keep starting over. 💛Get in touch:Abi30 Days to Freedom - A Gentle ResetAvailable here - www.levelupsobrietycoaching.com/30-days-to-freedom-reset/Steady & Strong - 6-month partnershipMore information available here - www.levelupsobrietycoaching.com/coaching-options/Instagram @levelup.withabiEmail [email protected] links: Terps & Co. www.drinkterps.co.nz - enter code ABI20 for 20% off storewideI use Riverside.fm for my podcast editing software.
