457: How do I stop going to the bar in the afternoon? [Listener Q&A]

Why does the pull to go to the bar in the afternoon feel almost automatic? If you've ever found yourself heading out for an after-work drink and wondering why you can't seem to stop, you're not alone. The truth is, the after-work drink works. It changes how you feel fast. And that's exactly why the pattern can feel so hard to break. In this Listener Q&A episode, you'll hear Michael's question about how to stop going to the bar in the afternoon. You'll learn why the issue isn't a lack of discipline and why willpower keeps failing, how to interrupt autopilot patterns, and how to build new end-of-day transition strategies that actually meet your needs.
