Ep 149: Mocktails vs. replacements: what really helps
Description
When you start drinking less, it’s tempting to swap your wine for a mocktail — but does that actually help? In this episode, Christie unpacks the truth about replacements: what works, what doesn’t, and how to tell the difference. You’ll learn how to identify the need beneath the craving, use neuroscience and faith to retrain your reward system, and build new evening rituals that bring real peace — not just another substitute.
You’ll hear about:
- The hidden “why” behind your evening drink
- When mocktails help — and when they keep you stuck
- How dopamine and habit loops influence cravings
- Real mind–body–soul replacements that actually satisfy
- A faith-based framework for choosing true peace over imitation comfort
Replacing alcohol isn’t about deprivation — it’s about redirection. Learn how to meet your real needs with rest, prayer, and presence instead of pouring another glass.
