Ep. #202 The Belief That Made Alcohol Famous
12/14/22 • 33 min
I have determined there is ONE belief that fuels our entire mindset in the western world about alcohol.
It’s so powerful that is has you trying to solve all of your problems and create fun with alcohol.
It has you overriding your own intuition.
Shaming yourself for not figuring it out.
Negotiating rules with yourself to keep alcohol around for even, just one drink.
It has you making yourself sick.
Fighting with your partner.
Waking you up at 3 am.
Creating problems where there are none.
Putting thoughts in other peoples head about what they think about you.
Not doing your best at work.
Quitting on yourself, again and again.
Most importantly, it has you forgetting who you are, what matters most and what you are capable of.
This ONE belief is so powerful, that even AA put it into their big blue book.
They use it to help people quit drinking.
It is actually the belief that keeps so many who do stop drinking in deprivation.
In my experience, it’s the ONE belief that is the FARTHEST from the truth.
But this ONE belief is not a FACT, it’s a thought.
