#255: What Happens When You Quit Alcohol? (It’s Not What You Think) - Kathryn Elliott

Do you ever wake up after a night of drinking feeling anxious, ashamed, and confused - like you can’t trust yourself… even if nothing “that bad” happened?

In this episode, I’m joined by Kathryn Elliott, a Specialist Binge Drinking and Alcohol Coach, to break down what binge drinking is doing to your mind and why so many people think they’re “just anxious,” when alcohol is the actually causing it..

We unpack the loop that keeps you stuck: drinking to cope, waking up with anxiety and self-criticism, then drinking again to escape it. We also talk about the “tipping point,” why your brain clings to familiar pain, and how to handle the social pressure of not drinking without feeling like you’re letting people down.

This episode will help you change your life by changing your relationship with alcohol.
