Anticipation of the reward from alcohol is one of the main reasons that we stay stuck in the back and forth cycle.

We believe that alcohol will help us relax, unwind at the end of the day, deal with negative emotions, have fun, or connect with others.

This is what causes cravings for alcohol. In this episode, I'll explain how we learn to associate certain things with drinking,

how we can break these associations after we quit drinking, and two ways that you can reduce

cravings.

And before we dig in, I'd like to thank my sponsors who made this episode possible.

Toss it and turn in all night like a salad, it's time to put those sleepless nights to bed for good.

Enter Tenasi, my sleep saviors, and they have science to back up their sleep, anxiety, and pain relieving powers.

Back in 2016, they invested a $2.5 million grant to Middle Tennessee State University to study the

hemp plant. Turns out their special patent pending CBD CBDA formula is

twice as effective as CBD alone and can be more effective than over-the-counter ibuprofen,

acetaminophen, and aspirin. So if you're tired of tossing and turning like a rotisserie chicken,

then Tanasi's got your back with their

range of great products from tinctures to gummies to lotions. Tenasi is my go-to

when I can't sleep or I have way too much anxiety. I'm so glad that I discovered them.
