[GDD Mini Series Part 4 of 5] Why Abstinence Isn't the Goal

If you’ve been trying to change your relationship with alcohol for over one month, you probably have some feelings associated with the term “abstinence.”  In this episode, I’ll explain why abstinence is not the goal if you’re looking for a healthy relationship with alcohol, and how keeping it as your goal might actually be what’s keeping you stuck 

 

You don’t want to miss:

 

• What it means to your brain when you make abstinence your goal
• What if your goal IS to be fully alcohol-free?  Isn’t that abstinence?
• Why outdated tools and approaches keep you stuck on the Groundhog Day Drinker’s Circle of Shame 

 

PLUS, what goals might feel more doable and more in line with what you truly want for your life.
