This One Trick Can Interrupt Overdrinking in the Moment

from ShameOver - The Drink Less Podcast Hosted by Erica Mallery

Most people don’t plan to overdrink… it just happens. In this quick episode, I’m sharing a simple “code word” tool that helps you interrupt drinking in the moment — without willpower, shame, or feeling controlled. In this episode, we talk about: why overdrinking isn’t a willpower issue how your brain shifts after just a couple drinks what “autopilot drinking” actually is how to stay connected to your intentions in the moment the code word method and how it works why tone and delivery matter more than the word itself how to involve someone you trust (without feeling judged or controlled) how to interrupt the pattern without shame If you want more support: This is exactly the kind of shift we go deeper into inside my reset — where we focus on understanding your habits, patterns, and what’s actually underneath your drinking so you can finally feel in control in a way that feels good and sustainable. 👉 Join the reset here. ***Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and reflects personal opinions and lived experience.
