Summary

On today’s episode, This Naked Mind head coach Scott Pinyard answers four great questions: I drink because I’m unhappy; how am I going to deal with all that stuff without alcohol? How do I avoid losing my connection with my friends when after our hikes they’re drinking and I’m not? I love the freedom of being alcohol free but will the major FOMO about never drinking again ever go away? I get so excited when I find new books, programs, and Instagram accounts to help me on my journey; why do I keep losing momentum? Did you miss This Naked Mind Live? Do you maybe have a little bit of FOMO? Don't worry. I've got you covered. In fact, I had the entire event professionally recorded and it's available digitally.

0:15.2	judgment, pain or rules, we explore the role of alcohol in our lives and culture.
0:28.9	Hey everybody, it's Scott Peneered Head Coach of this naked mind and I am back with another
0:33.7	edition of coaching questions. I've got four awesome questions today and I'm going to jump right in.
0:39.8	So question number one goes like this, how do you, one of the things I've been struggling with is
0:44.0	what am I going to do about all the stuff in my life when slash if I get alcohol out of the way?
0:49.6	I'm pretty unhappy on several fronts as a matter of fact that's why I drink to get rid of those
0:54.4	feelings. What am I going to do about all of this? It all feels overwhelming and like it's too much
0:59.3	to handle. This is a fantastic question and I got to say, you know, I have personal experience
1:05.3	with this and I'll go into that in a second but it's something that I do hear a lot from people
1:10.2	who are in our groups. Right? So when people look at alcohol and they say, man, I drink to relieve stress,

1:32.2	And it felt like taking alcohol out of that equation was just going to be unbearable,
1:39.9	right? So a couple of things I want to comment on the question that we'll can talk a little bit
1:43.3	about the answer. First of all, you said, when slash if I get alcohol out of the way? The fact that
1:48.1	you were doing this and that you wrote in the question and that you're engaging with this means
1:52.3	that you're going to do it. I promise you, if you continue to work on this, you will get to a place
1:57.7	where alcohol is out of the way. Now in this question and in general talking about these bigger things
2:04.4	in your life, here's something I want to talk about is that if you frame these things as huge,
2:08.8	gigantic, massive things that I cannot deal with, it's going to feel like, oh man, I don't know
