Summary
Join me this week to see if you identify with the examples I'm using to highlight how we often find excuses to not actually do the work required to change the habit.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Take a Break podcast with Rachel Hart, episode 165. |
| 0:06.6 | Whether you want to drink less or stop drinking, this podcast will help you change the habit |
| 0:11.7 | from the inside out. We're challenging conventional wisdom about why people drink |
| 0:16.9 | and why it can be hard to resist temptation. No labels, no judgment, just practical tools to take |
| 0:23.9 | control of your desire and stop worrying about your drinking. Now, here's your host, Rachel Hart. |
| 0:30.1 | Well, hello everybody. We are going to talk about doing the work to change your drinking. |
| 0:44.1 | This is so important because a lot of you are listening to the work, but you're not doing it. |
| 0:53.9 | And if you don't do the actual work to change not just your drinking, but any habit, |
| 1:00.8 | you're never going to get the result that you want. So I've done 165 episodes of this podcast. |
| 1:09.2 | There is a whole lot that you can listen to, but listening to what I teach and doing the work |

| 1:49.0 | incredibly important for me to finally understand what was going on, but listening is not doing the |
| 1:56.0 | work. You have to take what you are hearing me talk about and you have to start putting it into |
| 2:01.6 | practice. And if you're not doing that, that's okay. We're not going to beat you up. This isn't about |
| 2:08.2 | shaming you, but let's understand why. Now you guys hear me say all the time that you cannot do |
| 2:15.4 | the thing feel act cycle in your head. I know you think you can. And I know this because I thought |
| 2:20.4 | this too. I really did. I thought, yeah, yeah, it makes sense. All of a sudden, I get it. My thoughts |
| 2:25.2 | create my feelings and my feelings strive. Those actions alcohol just sits there. The drink just sits |
| 2:30.3 | there. It doesn't will need to pick it up. I have a thought and I have a feeling that leads to that |
