If you've stopped drinking before... only to find yourself back where you started a few days or weeks later, this episode is for you.
Most women think going back means they've failed.
I don't.
The truth is, if you take alcohol away without understanding why it became important in the first place, you'll almost always end up back there.

The pressure still builds.
The stress is still there.
The habit still has a job to do.

Until you replace what alcohol has been doing for you, your brain will keep offering it as the answer.
In this episode, I'll explain why going back to drinking isn't a sign that you lack willpower.

It's a sign that you've been trying to change the behaviour without understanding what's driving it.
Once you understand that, everything starts to make a lot more sense.


If this episode has left you thinking about your own relationship with alcohol, I'd love you to join me at Beyond the Booze Live, my free monthly 90-minute Zoom workshop.

You'll understand why you can promise yourself you won't drink in the morning, only to find yourself reaching for a glass that evening.

You'll begin to see what's happening before that first drink, why alcohol has become your go-to for feeling better, and how to start making different choices without relying on willpower alone.

Beyond the Booze Live: Come and understand your drinking better.
