EP 460: Reader Question - Why do I keep ruining my sobriety?

Reaching an alcohol-free milestone is a HUGE accomplishment – So why can a simple trigger cause us to pick up a drink and make us feel like we ruined everything we’ve accomplished?

In this week’s reader question Annie shares two things you can start doing today to diminish the intensity of triggers and set your brain on a better path to freedom.

Can you believe it's already February? What happened to January? It's gone already, and with it a lot of people's New Year's resolutions. Maybe you started off the year wanting to drink less or nothing at all, but you find yourself still drinking.

If that's you, you're not alone. But maybe now you're ready to take back control. The answer's actually not in restriction or deprivation and you don't need more willpower. I'm here to tell you that you can break your patterns and habits and finally feel liberated from alcohol. You can return to a life where alcohol is small and irrelevant for you. A total non-issue, where you can take it or leave it. The first step is joining us for a very special and completely FREE 5-day virtual event starting February 7th. We'll be teaching you exactly how to take back control of your drinking even if your New Year's resolutions haven't stuck. Save your spot today at controlalcohollive.com. We can't wait to see you there!
