E317: One Reason Some People Stay Sober and Others Don’t
About this episode
This episode explores the difference between surviving and becoming resilient, and how coping by escaping can keep people stuck in their drinking patterns.
A lot of people think they’re resilient because they’ve been through a lot. But if that were true, then why do the same situations keep hitting just as hard, or harder, every time? In this episode, I’m going to break down the difference between surviving something and actually becoming resilient, what’s happening in your brain when you cope by escaping, and why that pattern keeps people stuck in the back and forth with drinking. You’ll learn what actually needs to change so you don’t feel like you need relief from your life all the time.
