486: Using the people you love as motivation to drink less

Wanting to drink less for the people you love can feel like powerful motivation. Maybe you want to be a better parent, a more present partner, or simply stop giving the people closest to you a reason to worry. But relying too heavily on those reasons can create a problem you might not see coming.   Tune in this week to discover why doing this work for the people you love can sometimes backfire. You'll learn how an invisible scorecard can start influencing your decisions, why resentment can make giving in suddenly feel more appealing, and how to find reasons for changing your drinking that remain compelling no matter what the people around you are doing.   Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/   Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: https://rachelhart.com/tab/   Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://rachelhart.com/486
