Manage episode 521419980 series 3659589
This Thanksgiving episode explores a side of gratitude we don’t talk about enough—what happens when gratitude becomes something you use against yourself.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I have so much to be grateful for… so why do I still drink?” or “Other people have it worse. I shouldn’t be struggling with this,” this episode is for you.
You’ll learn:
- how gratitude can get weaponized against your attempts to drink less;
- how gratitude can backfire and trigger shame around alcohol;
- why drinking has nothing to do with how grateful you are;
- how to allow gratitude to coexist with other emotions, including overwhelm, stress, grief, or loneliness;
- healthier ways to use gratitude without silencing your real needs;
If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting to drink—even when your life “should” feel good—this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and what to do next. You deserve support, not self-judgment.
