Listen "E290: How to Quit Drinking Without Hitting Rock Bottom"

Episode Synopsis

A rock bottom moment isn’t required to get sober, although it obviously helps. We have no control over what will be our rock bottom, and often we stack consequences for a long time before enough is finally enough. In this episode I discuss what to do if you haven’t had a rock bottom yet. You’ll learn about 3 key things I’ve noticed that dabblers do that prevent them from getting sober for good, and what I would suggest doing if you haven’t hit your enough point yet.

What to listen to next:

E200: My greatest shame

E282: Minimizing, rationalizing, and the myth of "I wasn't that bad"

E164: How taking breaks helped me quit for good
