What if telling yourself “I can’t drink” is actually making alcohol more desirable?

When alcohol feels forbidden, not drinking can start to feel like deprivation. But the truth is, you can drink. The more useful question is whether you actually want everything that comes with that choice.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

•  why “I can’t drink” can make you feel restricted and deprived; 
•  how to shift from “I can’t drink” to “I can drink, but I’m choosing not to”;
•  how to stop focusing on the first glass and consider the whole experience of drinking; 
•  the simple question that can help you make more intentional decisions around alcohol. 

If you’ve ever felt deprived when you don’t drink, wished you could drink like everyone else, or found yourself thinking, “I wish I could have another one,” this episode will help you shift out of restriction and start making decisions about alcohol from a place of choice.
