When Wine Becomes Your Way to Switch Off

Have you ever reached the end of a busy day and thought, “I just need a glass of wine”? In this first Wellness Without Wine podshot, Deirdre Coyne explores why wine can become our automatic way to switch off, the psychology behind familiar habits, and how to begin understanding what we're really looking for when we reach for a drink. Discover a simple reflection exercise to help you recognise your triggers, identify your needs and consider alternative ways to unwind. This isn't about judgement or perfection. It's about curiosity, self-understanding and discovering new possibilities. Your takeaway: This week, notice what you're looking for when you want a drink. What are you feeling, what do you need, and what else might help? Welcome to Wellness Without Wine — a fresh perspective on alcohol, mindset and your next chapter.
