You are listening to the Take a Break podcast with Rachel Hart episode 339.

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.

Hey everybody, we are talking about hacking your brain with your glass, with the drink

where that you select to use. Now this came up recently inside the membership and I realized

I realized I hadn't done a podcast episode about this topic. So I've talked before on the podcast

about stem wear, especially kind of the supersizing of stem wear and drink wear and how that can lead to drinking more.

But I haven't talked about this episode, really how to hack your brain and your experience

with the glass that you choose. And it's such a simple trick. It really is. But here's the thing.

to get some new awareness and new insight about your desire that maybe your desire isn't just about alcohol.

It isn't just about you love this drink. But there are these unconscious messages that we've all

absorbed that are contributing to your experience. And so I will tell you this, the trick is really simple

but I want you to understand the mechanics behind it. So all we're really doing is drinking something that is

non-alcoholic from a glass that is typically reserved for something that is alcoholic. So I'm talking

about drinking, you know, celtzer and lime from a wine glass or using one of these like tiny little

dainty cocktail glasses for something non-alcoholic. Now here's the thing, before you roll your eyes.

And think this is stupid. You don't understand what's going on with me or my situation.
