The 3 things you can do with an urge for alcohol
Good morning ladies! In today's episode I talk to you about urges and what you can do with urges in order to permanently change your relationship with alcohol. First off, what the hell is an urge you ask? Lemme tell you. An urge is the desire, the WANTING that you feel for a substance or an activity that provides your brain with a lot of dopamine. The higher the amount of dopamine your brain gets from something, the more "urgent" your body will feel to attain that thing. Over time, with a repeated habit, you develop more urges/higher desire for alcohol.
There are 3 ways you can respond to an urge.
You can react to it: you drink alcohol
You can resist it: you use will power to push down the desire
You can allow it: you open up to the uncomfortable sensation of wanting and not having
I give you ways to practice the third option, which is the only sustainable way to change your drinking habit, in the episode. Enjoy!
