Episode Description

In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, I get into the coaching side of sobriety and grief: what to do when loss becomes a drinking trigger, and your brain starts looking for a way to escape the pain.

Grief can bring intense emotions, and when alcohol has been your go-to coping mechanism, those feelings can create powerful alcohol cravings and urges to drink. This episode breaks down how to recognize what's happening and begin building new ways to cope without alcohol.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
  • Why grief can become a powerful drinking trigger
  • Why alcohol may feel tempting when you're overwhelmed or hurting
  • How to identify what you're actually needing underneath the urge to drink
  • How to ride out an alcohol urge without acting on it
  • Why building your tolerance for discomfort is an important part of emotional sobriety
  • How to stay sober when life gets hard instead of automatically reaching for alcohol

You don't have to eliminate grief, stress, or painful emotions to stay sober. You can learn to experience those feelings without immediately escaping them and build the self-trust to know you can handle hard moments without alcohol.
