Season 3 - Episode 9: Why Moderation Feels So Exhausting

Why does moderation feel so hard? If you've ever made rules around drinking...Only on weekends. Only two glasses. No drinking at home. I'll start again on Monday....and found yourself back in the same cycle, this episode is for you.In this episode, I'm exploring why moderation can feel so exhausting. Not because you're failing, but because of the constant mental energy it requires.We'll talk about:- The hidden mental load of managing alcohol- Why moderation often becomes a full-time job in your head- Decision fatigue and the endless negotiations- Why some people find taking a longer break feels simpler, not harder- The difference between drinking less and feeling truly freeIf you've spent years trying to find the "perfect balance" with alcohol, this episode might help you see things from a different perspective.Because maybe the goal isn't better rules. Maybe the goal is freedom from needing them.Get in touch:Abi30 Days to Freedom - A Gentle ResetAvailable here - www.levelupsobrietycoaching.com/30-days-to-freedom-reset/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.
