You are listening to the Take a Break podcast with Rachel Hart episode 137.

Whether you want to drink less or stop drinking, this podcast will help you change the habit from the inside out.

We're challenging conventional wisdom about why people drink and why it can be hard to resist temptation.

No labels, no judgment, just practical tools to take control of your desire and stop worrying about your drinking.

Now here's your host, Rachel Hart.

Hello, hello, everybody. Listen, today is a pretty exciting day for me because if you are listening to this podcast on September 3rd,

what that means is that my new Take a Break program is officially open and I really am so excited.

If you have not yet checked it out, what are you waiting for? Go take a look. If you are a woman who has been listening to this podcast and thinking,

oh my gosh, this all makes sense for the first time I get it. I'm starting to understand why it is that I have this habit around drinking.

I'm starting to understand this thing called the Think Feel Act cycle.

In fact, it's kind of obvious and I can't believe I didn't see it before in my life. I can't believe that nobody explained this to me.

If you can relate with that and you are also struggling to kind of figure out how to put this work into practice, how to fit all the pieces together, then let me tell you this program is for you.

When you take what you hear me talk about on the podcast and you start learning how to take these tools and actually put them into action, practice them, use them in your everyday life.

It will completely blow your mind. So please, if you are interested, go visit Rachelheart.com slash join.

You can learn all about this program there. It's 30 days taking a break from drinking to give your mind and your body a rest.

So you can use all that energy and direct it towards learning how to manage your mind, manage your urges, change your desire.

That's what you can do in 30 days. Because honestly, habits do not change themselves, especially not the habit of drinking.

You have to take action. You have to start to learn how to do something differently. And that's what this program can do for you.

Okay, so today, what I want to talk to you about is actually the worst piece of advice that I ever got around my drinking.

Now listen, I have come across a lot of bad advice in my time. In part because I used to kind of be up late at night, googling things like, why can't I drink like everyone else?

Why do I drink too much? How do I know if something is wrong with me? How do I know if something is wrong with my brain? And trust me, there is a lot of bad advice out there.

But this particular gem is something that I want to talk to you guys about today because I really think it's so pervasive.
