Get Happy, Not Sober: How to reduce drinking by 80%
You already know willpower isn't the issue—that's actually part of the problem. Performance-based strategies that work everywhere else backfire with alcohol because every "failed" attempt triggers shame, putting your body into a trauma response that makes change impossible. You'll learn: The neuroscience of why you're stuck: Your brain releases dopamine based on what you EXPECT to happen. Change your self-narrative, change your brain chemistry. How to process the emotions driving your drinking: You're not drinking because you love being drunk—you're living in survival mode. Learn to access calm, confidence, and peace without alcohol. How to build nervous system capacity: When you have a deficit of sleep, energy and recovery time, your willpower disappears. Restoring capacity makes change sustainable. My clients reduce drinking by 80% by building lives they don't need to escape. The solution to overdrinking is a feeling. Get happy, not sober.
