The Fear Behind Your Drinking—and the Stories Alcohol Tells You

How to change your relationship with alcohol may begin with something you don't usually think about: fear. You might call it stress, needing to relax, or worrying that life without alcohol will be boring. But underneath those familiar thoughts, there may be a fear telling you that you can't cope, socialize, unwind, or enjoy your life without a drink. In this episode, you'll look at the difference between experiencing fear and identifying with it. Becca talks about the exaggerated stories the “voice of alcohol” can create—and how you can step back, notice the thought, and gently decide not to buy what it's selling. You'll also hear why an outside voice can be so powerful when you're trying to untangle yourself from years of drinking. Sometimes another woman saying, “I thought that too—and it wasn't true,” is exactly what helps you see things differently. Take a breath, get curious about the fears underneath your drinking, and listen in. Join Becca’s thriving community of women navigating the messiness of early sobriety together.
