Journey to the Sunnyside Why Boredom Makes You Want to Drink (And What to Do Instead)
Ever notice how some of your strongest drinking urges hit when absolutely nothing is wrong? You're not stressed or celebrating, just existing on a Friday night, and somehow your brain decides that unstimulated time requires alcohol.
In this episode, I get personal about my own boredom drinking patterns and share the science behind why boredom feels so uncomfortable (hint: it's not about having nothing to do). You'll discover what boredom is really signaling, my simple 10-minute rule for when restlessness hits, and how to work with your brain instead of against it.
Because once you understand what your mind is actually asking for when it whispers "a drink sounds good right now," you can finally give yourself what you actually need.
