Escaping The Hamster Wheel of Drinking | Alcohol Freedom Coaching | E847
Why can’t I quit drinking after so many tries? It’s a question so many of us have asked, and in this episode, Leslie and Phillipa open up about their long journeys of stopping, starting, and struggling with alcohol. Joined by Coach Zoe, they pull back the curtain on the ups, downs, and lessons they’ve faced along the way. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the powerful coaching and support available inside The Path and how curiosity, compassion, and courage create lasting change.
In Leslie’s session:
Starting The Path three times and learning from each attempt
Using the mantra “burn the boats” to stop self-sabotage
Managing urges during writing groups and evening routines
Facing fear of relapse and suddenly finding a bottle in her hand
Building awareness of patterns that lead to survival brain drinking
How Path coaching gave her new tools to stay free
And more topics…
In Phillipa’s session:
Coming from a scarcity mindset and always finishing what’s in front of her
Struggling with cravings that feel like a “hamster wheel” of misery and relief
Why moderation isn’t an option and how she learned that the hard way
Feeling like a “fraud” because her life looks good on the outside
Discovering joy, contentment, and peace after months alcohol-free
Asking herself: why can’t I quit drinking after so many tries — and finally finding support that works inside The Path
And much more…
