Have you ever tried to cut back on drinking because your partner or a friend said you should? Maybe you were determined to prove them wrong, or to show them you could change. But if that external pressure was your only motivation… it probably didn’t last.

In this episode of How to Drink Less, I’m diving into why change that’s rooted in guilt, shame, or the desire to win someone else’s approval is rarely sustainable—and what works instead.

You’ll learn:

  • why motivation from fear and shame keeps you stuck in survival mode;
  • the subtle difference between “I have to” and “I choose to”—and why it matters so much;
  • what it actually looks like to build change from self-respect, not self-rejection.

If you’ve been trying to prove something to someone else—or if you're just starting to wonder what it would feel like to make this change for yourself—this episode is your permission slip to stop performing and start making choices that align with your values and who you want to be.
