Welcome to the Take a Break from Drinking podcast with your host, Rachel Hart. If you\u2019re looking for a radically different approach to help you cut back or stop drinking, this is the place for you.

You probably have plenty of good reasons to drink less, but that doesn\u2019t mean saying no is always easy. Listen as Rachel dispels the most common myths about why it\u2019s hard to resist temptation.

Forget about labels, judgment, or one-size-fits-all solutions. Rachel will give you a logical framework to reexamine the moments you gave in or overdid it. You\u2019ll collect data that reveals why your past attempts to change have been hit or miss.

You\u2019ll discover that people reach for a drink for reasons that aren\u2019t always obvious. Alcohol can represent so many things: A reward for working hard. Liquid courage. Relief from your worries. Bonding with friends and family. A way to elevate your meal. Entertainment when you\u2019re bored. An aphrodisiac. A sign that the work day is over. A solution for insomnia. And permission to cut loose and live a little.

Because alcohol is intertwined with so many aspects of your life, you need to step back and see the big picture. You\u2019ll approach change from the standpoint of \u201cWhat tools am I missing?\u201d rather than \u201cI should\u2019ve learned my lesson by now.\u201d And you\u2019ll find out why scare tactics, counting days, and strict rules often backfire. Rachel\u2019s goal is to help you get curious without all the judgment or shame.

Saying no doesn\u2019t have to be a choice between being healthy or having a good time. Stop feeling like you\u2019re on autopilot when you drink. Start trusting yourself to make conscious decisions that align with the life you want.
