You are listening to the Take a Break Podcast with Rachel Hart episode 257.

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.

All right, welcome back my friends.

We're talking about something today called Fading Effect Bias.

And I decided that I wanted to teach it on the podcast because it came up recently

inside Take a Break. So there was a member there who was talking about,

you know, what she had learned about this idea and how it really resonated with her.

But I could see that the way she was thinking about it was actually very problematic.

And it's one of the reasons why I've never taught Fading Effect Bias

as it pertains to drinking.

I've never talked about it on the podcast because I really believe

that when it comes to drinking and this idea,

pretty much everyone out there teaches it in a very harmful way.

So I realized I wanted to bring it to you, but I wanted to bring it to you

in a way that would be really beneficial.

And in a way that you wouldn't use it against yourself.
