Episode Synopsis

Good morning ladies! In today's episode I talk to you about urges and what you can do with urges in order to permanently change your relationship with alcohol. First off, what the hell is an urge you ask? Lemme tell you. An urge is the desire, the WANTING that you feel for a substance or an activity that provides your brain with a lot of dopamine.

Over time, with a repeated habit, you develop more urges/higher desire for alcohol. There are 3 ways you can respond to an urge.You can react to it: you drink alcoholYou can resist it: you use will power to push down the desireYou can allow it: you open up to the uncomfortable sensation of wanting and not havingI give you ways to practice the third option, which is the only sustainable way to change your drinking habit, in the episode.
