Summary

Deciding to cut back on alcohol can create an endless list of rules around drinking.

“I’m not going to drink until the weekend.” “Only 2 glasses max.” “Only on special occasions.”

These rules can get exhausting and cause a lot of emotional pain. Leaving you feeling deprived and resentful.

In this week’s reader question, Annie explains why her personal journey with alcohol led her to a radical decision to stop trying to stop drinking. Find out how removing the rules helped her escape the noise and clear space for new knowledge and emotions about alcohol.
