How to play a bigger game

Published 24 days ago • 2 min read

Reader

It is no accident that when I overhauled my drinking I lost 24 pounds in a matter of months.

For too long a couple of glasses had turned into finishing the entire bottle.

Soon enough I was drinking a few bottles of week.

And pouring a glass of wine became part of dinner prep.

Not only is booze loaded with calories, but when I drank I snacked more. A few nibbles before dinner became a packet or two of breadsticks.

Worst of all the wine left me feeling tired and lethargic.

But when I tried to cut back things felt worse.

Because wine was my reward at the end of a stressful day.

It was my ‘treat’. My way of ‘winding down’. I deserved it.

That’s what I told myself day in, day out.

Perhaps you do the same?

And when you hear something enough, you start to believe it.

Even if it’s untrue.

I knew I wanted to change but I was waiting to feel good or ready. Waited for it to feel comfortable and easy and peaceful.

But you will never find comfort in the things you aren’t meant to settle in.

You did not come this far to just come this far.

And you cannot see your own stories if you are living them.

Like a fish can’t see water.

But I see them.

I see you.

Because I have taught many people to change their relationship with alcohol.

When you work with me I will show you why you are stuck in your current drinking pattern. I will teach you practical ways to manage urges. I will support you when you call yourself out on your own stories (which, by the way, is massive fun 🙂)

Am I certain I can help you?

100 percent.

Am I certain that you’re going to come, use what I teach you and FINALLY make the changes you want to make?

100 percent.

I’m certain because I watch my clients get results every single day. I see them drinking less, drinking rarely or not at all.

So I KNOW this is the right call for you.

But you aren’t going to be certain.

You’re going to feel like this is what you want

BUT also a little nervous.

Because you’re doing something new. That’s normal.

But it’s like my favourite C.S. Lewis quote: “Courage, dear heart.”

I tell that to myself often: “Courage, dear heart.”

It’s time to be brave.

This is just the beginning. So schedule time to talk with me. I will lay out the exact steps for you to get what you want by working with me 1:1 to achieve alcohol freedom.

Our first call won't cost you anything but your time. Let's talk about all the ways changing your relationship with alcohol will change your life. About everything that's possible for you. Select your time here.

I won’t convince you or push you into doing something you're not sure about. But I promise you'll know for sure if this is something you want to do.

Reader You have stacks of great reasons to cut back. You’ve listened to the podcasts. Downloaded the free guides. Read the quit lit books. Yet still you overdo it. Not every day at least, but too often for comfort. You’re never completely certain what’s going to happen. Whether you’ll stick to your drinking goals tonight. Or not. Trust in yourself is low. And doubt is high. You stop believing. So you stop trying. Stop making active choices. Stop being accountable. And stop doing the things...
