What no one explains about drinking less

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader

If you think drinking too much is your ‘Achilles heel,’

THE ONE LAST THING you have to sort out,

You may want to look away now.

Because today I’m dispelling a myth.

The myth that when you’ve figured this out your life will be brilliant. That everything will fall into place. Finally.

What!? You might be thinking. But Anna you’re meant to sell me on how my life will change when I’m not glugging my way through half a bottle of Chardonnay each night.

YES SO MUCH IN YOUR LIFE WILL BE BETTER.

You’ll be more present with your wife. You’ll do better at work. You’ll remember stuff. You will for sure get better sleep. You’ll lose weight and your liver will thank you. Yes, yes, yes.

But that doesn’t mean life will be 100% calm and relaxed and orderly and stress-free.

You’ll still be dealing with problems.

BUT THEY WILL BE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS.

Because that’s life. It’s part positive, part negative. Sometimes things go well. Other times things go badly.

It’ll never be perfect ever.

BUT after you change your relationship with alcohol you won’t be dealing with the exact same problem night after night after night after night.

You know the one.

The do-I? don’t-I drink?

Because it’s not a lack of wine that makes life boring.

It’s dealing with the same old HOW CAN I BE GOOD TONIGHT AND NOT DRINK HALF A BOTTLE OF WINE problem that makes life boring.

Life will never be problem free.

But do yourself a favour and get out of the same old drinking rut.

So that when you do decide to drink you actually enjoy it.

Instead of resenting your lack of control.

I can’t make your life perfect

But I can help you solve the problem of being a daily drinker.

And get you out of the rut of that being your Achilles heel.

Do you want to keep the same old problem of fighting cravings to drink each night?

Or not?

That’s basically it.

Hey Reader I had a conversation with a client yesterday that reminded me of something I get asked about a lot. She’s gearing up for a weekend getaway with friends—one they do every year. It’s the classic fun escape: fancy hotel, great company, and a lot of drinking. Her friends expect it, and, truth be told, she’s always been the one leading the charge—being the life of the party, the loud one, the person everyone counts on to get the fun going. But this time, as we were talking, something...
