The Thing You’re Avoiding About Alcohol Is the Way Through

Description

Freedom from alcohol isn't found in white-knuckling or temporary breaks — it emerges when you stay engaged with the process of transformation.

In this episode, I share a powerful moment from a recent family reunion where, for the first time, everyone had shifted their relationship with alcohol. What came from that wasn't awkwardness — it was deeper connection, true presence, and genuine joy without needing a single drop.

This is what happens when we stop performing and start participating in our own change.

You’ll hear:

  • Why temporary breaks often reinforce the desire to drink
  • The truth about alcohol and connection (it’s not what you think)
  • How the Sacred Pause Method “front-loads” your healing — and shortens the timeline
  • What one client said that changed everything for her: “This finally feels real. And sustainable.”
  • How lifting the veil on your habits gives you a completely new perspective — one you can’t unsee

Download the 60-Second Urge Codes for instant relief from your next craving — in less time than it takes to pour a drink.
