The Alcohol ReThink Podcast with Patrick Fox 207. Break Out of The Frustration Trap
Ever find yourself thinking, 'Why do I keep doing this?
You made the promises, perhaps even a made plan, yet you find yourself back in that same cycle of drinking.
In this week's episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick speaks about something he sees come up often in his coaching and own life and that's The Frustration Trap
The cycle of being hard on yourself when drinking habits aren’t changing fast enough (or at all). He shares how this shows up for the men he works with, and in his own life, whether it’s on the football pitch, building a business, or getting his son ready for school.
You’ll hear how frustration can sneak in when we’re trying to create change, why it rarely works as motivation long term, and what to do instead.
There’s also a powerful moment from one of Patrick’s coaching clients celebrating six months alcohol-free, and the surprising advice that helped him most.
Some awesome takeaways from this week's show:
Why frustration often keeps you stuck (even if it feels like you’re taking action)
The real story behind your inner critic
How to respond to frustration with awareness instead of reaction
3 simple tools to break the frustration cycle
A reminder that being kind to yourself is far from weak, it’s essential

Think different - feel different - do different.
