What if alcohol isn't helping you cope with your problems?
What if it's helping you tolerate them?
In this episode, I explore the idea that alcohol keeps us settling for lives that are smaller, harder, and less fulfilling than they could be.
I talk about how drinking becomes a shortcut to temporary relief, why alcohol feels like it's helping in the moment, and how it can quietly keep you stuck in situations that aren't working—whether that's a stressful job, a lonely relationship, burnout, people-pleasing, or something else entirely.
You'll learn:
why alcohol feels like relief but doesn't actually solve anything;
the difference between relaxation and sedation;
how drinking can make it easier to tolerate what you don't want;
and how breaking your dependence on alcohol can create positive ripple effects in every area of your life.
If you've ever wondered whether alcohol is helping you avoid a difficult truth, this episode is for you.
