405: When Life Is Good but Your Drinking Isn’t

It’s easy to see why you might pour yourself a glass of wine when things aren’t going your way, but what happens if your life seems to be working out fine? Why are you still reaching for a drink?   You’ve been tricked into thinking happiness must be obtained, which is why, in order to change your actions—using alcohol for quick relief—you must first change how you think. The truth is, negative emotions are just a part of the human experience.   Listen in to learn how to avoid the trap of thinking you have “no right to complain,” which can actually worsen your relationship with alcohol. Even more, you’ll find out how to accept any emotion you are having at this moment.   Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/   Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: https://rachelhart.com/tab/   Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://rachelhart.com/405
