Listen "111: Drinking on Autopilot: How Daily Stress Fuels Your Evening Habits "
Episode Synopsis
Breaking decades of drinking habits in midlife isn’t about willpower – it’s about understanding triggers, actions, and rewards, and then reshaping them to work in your favour. In this episode, I explore why habits form, why they’re so hard to undo, and how stress plays such a big role in keeping us stuck. I share practical steps to help you swap old autopilot behaviours for new actions that actually bring relief and joy, and why progress, not perfection, is the key. 0:00 Setting the scene1:52 Moderating in midlife3:04 Understanding the habit cycle7:31 The trouble with stress8:16 Step 1 - Reduce stress9:36 Step 2 - Take new actions12:41 Step 3 - Be prepared15:22 Will it work every time? ===🌱 Reset the way alcohol shows up in your life with the 4 Week Midlife Mindful Drinking Resethttps://www.lownodrinker.com/4weekreset===🧐 Take the quiz and find out what's REALLY driving your midlife drinking habitshttps://www.lownodrinker.com/===💰 Get 10% off drinks at Wise Bartender with code LOWNODRINKERMAGAZINE https://wisebartender.co.uk/lownodrinkermagazine * ===*Some links are affiliate links.
