Small Changes to Make a Big Difference in Reaching Your Ideal Future Self
Explicit content warning
09/20/21 • 23 min
On this episode of Exit The Drinking Life Podcast, I’m diving into how important it is to imagine a future you, free of the hold alcohol has on you. Our brains are wired to either assume we can’t reach this new version of ourselves or to think we’ll wake up a completely different person through this change. However, if you go about imagining this future you with the right frame of mind, it can be a really powerful part of your journey.
Some of the topics and questions raised in this episode are:
- How I struggled during my EXIT journey to envision the “future me”
- The natural human tendencies that stand in the way of envisioning your journey to success
- The importance of this “future self” in your EXIT journey
I hope that this episode brings awareness to the fact that even when it feels like a complete impossibility that one day alcohol will be an irrelevant part of your life. Imagining a future you where that’s the case can help you come out the other side.

What Happens When You Quit Alcohol? A Look Inside the EXIT Methodology
On this episode of Exit The Drinking Life Podcast, I’m joined by Gayle, who is coming to us all the way from Australia. Gayle shares with us her EXIT story, as well as the fears she faced surrounding quitting alcohol and what came after alcohol was out of her life.
Some of the topics and questions raised in this episode are:
- Gayle’s story of recognizing she had an issue, deciding to stop drinking, and where that journey took her.
- Some of the common fears that accompany the idea of quitting alcohol.
- Addressing those fears and normalizing an alcohol-free life.
- The amazing benefits that come from exiting an alcohol addiction.
It’s my hope that hearing Gayle’s incredible story will do exactly for you what hearing the stories of others did for her: inspire you to continue on your EXIT journey, wherever in the process you may be.
Gayle’s story does a beautiful job showing the full evolution between having a problem, recognizing it, making a change, and embracing that new life.

Does Alcohol Really Make You Happy?
On this episode of Exit The Drinking Life Podcast, I’m sharing my revelations on how nothing outside of us actually creates the feelings that exist inside of us. The reality is that we create our feelings and the experiences of our lives through our own thoughts and actions.
There are so many feelings that society imposes on us, dictating that we “should” feel a certain way when XYZ happens. But what happens when the opposite is true? I explore that here, along with how you can change your thoughts around alcohol throughout your EXIT journey.
Some of the topics and questions raised in this episode are:
- The power of reframing our thoughts
- Reliance on alcohol to dictate feelings
- Challenging yourself to think differently
I hope that this episode ignites your curiosity around the way you’re approaching your feelings and how you alter them with the power of your thoughts and mindset. As you make your EXIT from drinking, it can be hard to imagine who you’ll be or how you’ll be happy without your beverage of choice. But approaching your feelings and thoughts differently can go a long way in easing these worries.
