Have you ever set a firm intention not to drink, only to find your good intentions fall apart later in the day? It's a frustrating cycle that can leave you wondering what's wrong with you. But here's the truth: your good intentions aren't failing because of some personal flaw. They're failing because they're missing a crucial element.

 

On last week’s show, you learned why good intentions are just visions without plans. Today, you’ll learn the exact practice you need when temptation strikes—and it's probably not like anything you’ve been told before.

 

Tune in to discover why simply having good intentions isn't enough when it comes to changing your drinking habits. Rather than fighting temptation, you’ll get a technique to interrupt the habit cycle by simply acknowledging it with curiosity, and you'll gain the awareness needed to create lasting change in your relationship with alcohol.
