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.

The Words We Use Change Everything
On this episode of Exit The Drinking Life Podcast, I’m conveying just how much the words we tell ourselves impact our ability to exit the drinking life.
The word “can’t” makes it into our vocabulary far too often, prompting us to feel deprived, restricted, and all out miserable. When we’re giving up drinking, we need to hack our brains and replace the “can’ts” with all of the positive reasons we’re looking to make a change.
Some of the topics and questions raised in this episode are:
- Words evoke certain emotions
- Post-Traumatic Restriction Disorder (PTRD)
- Changing the words inside your head
I hope that this episode ignites your curiosity around the way you’re talking to yourself and what the words you use mean for your attitude towards your own exit strategy. Sometimes, allowing yourself to feel less deprived and more empowered is as simple as deleting a “can’t” and reframing your own thoughts.
