In this week’s episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast Patrick shares a training he hosted called 'Feeling your way to sobriety'. Our emotions, how we feel, are the reason we do or don't do anything in life. Behind every goal, every want, every desire, every action or choice is because of the way we think it will make us feel. So learning to understand our emotions, pretty f*|cking essential. Sadly as men, we have been conditioned to not be in touch with our emotions. It comes at a great cost, especially as we get older. Alcohol is used as a way to suppress them BUT that's the problem, they are only suppressed and not actually processed. Learning how to manage your emotions, to feel your feelings is a key component of stopping drinking. In this episode, Patrick tells you why and how you can start connecting with yourself on this journey to sobriety.

In this week's episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast Patrick has something a little bit different for you. It's a 10 minute guided meditation he created to help you process the desire to drink without acting on it or trying to resist it. Feelings are incredibly important and what make life so beautiful. The reason we do or don't do anything in life is because of how we think it will make us feel. As a man it's possible that you were conditioned or brought up to believe that feeling your emotions was not ok, it is not something that men do. These are worn out paradigms that ultimately create us disconnecting from ourselves and creating more unnecessary suffering and end up using alcohol to numb our pain. In this episode Patrick offers you to explore what belief systems you have around being a man and your emotions. Then he guides you through a 10 minute meditation to help you process the desire to drink alcohol. When we learn to develop the relationship we have with our emotions, we realise that they are there to serve us, they don't mean anything about who we are as a human being on planet earth.
