It's Not About the Alcohol

De: Colleen Kachmann
  • Resumen

  • Would you like to permanently reduce your alcohol consumption by 80 percent so you don’t have to quit? Most high achieving professional women assume overdrinking is caused by a lack of willpower--or worse, the incurable disease of "alcoholism." So they beat themselves up and avoid asking for help because they feel ashamed and out of control. Whether you’re a daily drinker who can’t break the habit, or you're still going to sobriety meetings even though you don’t drink anymore, the real problem is that you don’t trust yourself anymore. Which means it’s not about the alcohol. It’s about your relationship with yourself. I’m a mindful drinking coach helping women learn how drinking less (or not at all) is actually a superpower, even when the idea of giving up the only thing that helps them quiet their mind feels impossible. Figuring out what you really need and want in life will restore your focus. Get happy, not sober. Because happy people don’t drink themselves into a stupor. Join me each week for holistic, evidence-based strategies to fix your dopamine deficit, regulate your nervous system, deal with post acute withdrawal syndrome, manage sugar cravings, improve your sleep and reclaim your mental health so you no longer have the urge to escape your own body.

  • EP124 The science of taking a self-compassionate approach to alcohol use disorder
    May 28 2024

    Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL WITH COLLEEN Are you looking for a mindful drinking coach instead of a sobriety program? I can help you reduce your drinking by 80 percent so you don't have to quit. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of why you're struggling and what tools you need to achieve your goals.

    Are you in the habit of beating yourself up and trying to willpower your way into being a better person?

    Most high achieving women who use alcohol to cope with their stress are caught in a cycle of punishment and reward. They work hard and believe they deserve to play hard. And when they overdo it, they actually embrace their shame because they believe that feeling bad will motivate them to do better.

    The problem with using shame to motivate yourself to drink less is that when you get it right, the shame disappears--taking with it the motivation to make a new habit out of your good behavior. The cycle is frustrating and exhausting because it’s unpredictable. You can’t ever be certain that you can trust yourself.

    Being unable to trust yourself is the crux of alcohol use disorder. The shame and guilt undermine your sense of self worth and motivation in other areas of your life. You go from feeling like a woman who is capable of doing anything you set your mind to someone who just wants to get through the day. Long term goals get farther and farther away.

    Continuing to focus on the problem makes the problem worse. In this episode, you’ll learn the three elements of self-compassion…which are mindfulness, kindness and recognizing your humanity. I’ll explain the science that reveals that the secret to change is allowing yourself to be where you’re at.

    Do you believe that accepting your overweight body as she is will make you lazy and complacent?

    In this episode, I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process for how to apply my 7 core skills of emotional sobriety to your weight loss goals. So you can free yourself of the mental roadblocks that undermine the sense of safety and confidence you need to accomplish your goals.

    Is your motivation to change your drinking habits strongest when you’re hungover…but less so when you’re actually drinking?
