You are listening to the Take a Break podcast with Rachel Hart, episode 219.

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 everyone. So listen, we're doing something a little different today because one of the questions I get asked all the time is

what is it like to be coached by me? What is it like to actually do this work with a coach that's helping you understand the habit of drinking in your relationship with alcohol?

And because so many of you listen to the podcast and you're learning all about these concepts, but many of you haven't seen the Think Feel Act cycle in action.

So today I'm actually going to share part of a coaching call with a couple participants in the 30 day challenge.

Now during this call, we're going to look at a couple different things.

So you're going to hear me coach them on why it can be hard to shake your desire to drink even when it feels really good taking a break and you like all the results?

That you're getting from not drinking? We're going to talk about what happens when you replace alcohol with food and how to start to change that?

And also how to begin to figure out how you like to spend your time when you're not drinking.

So I hope that this will be really, really helpful for all of you who have never really had a taste of what coaching looks like.

I will add this no matter the topic while you're listening, I want you to ask yourself how can I apply this coaching to my own life in my own situation and do notice how different it feels to observe the problem from a distance when you hear someone else talking about it rather than when you're in the middle of it.

So if you want more of this came from do check out our next 30 day challenge, which starts on the first. I hope you enjoy this call.

Hey Sue. Hi. How are you?

I'm good. Thanks.

All right. So I have your question here and you were saying I can't work out what wine offers for me.

Yeah. So you are, are you two months of taking a break?

Yeah. That's it. Okay. And you're at this point where you're tempted to start drinking again.

I just can't figure out what the wine offers.
