Why Willpower Was Never the Problem With Alcohol

from Alcohol-Free Lifestyle

If you've stopped drinking before but struggled to make it stick, the problem may not be a lack of discipline. In this episode, James Swanwick explains why willpower alone is often the wrong strategy for changing your relationship with alcohol. He explores the beliefs and associations that keep alcohol psychologically attractive, why high performers can still struggle despite being disciplined in every other area of life, and how to move from deprivation to genuine preference. You'll learn why freedom is not about constantly resisting alcohol, but changing the way you see it so the internal argument begins to disappear. James also shares a simple exercise to identify what alcohol is costing you - and what could become possible if you removed it.
