463: Stuck in the Weekend Drinking Loop? [Listener Q&A]

Do you ever find yourself stuck in a weekend drinking loop that feels hard to break? It might start with a drink on Thursday or Friday, and before you know it, the pattern carries through the entire weekend. Then Monday arrives, and stopping suddenly feels even harder. In this Listener Q&A episode, we're unpacking a common pattern: why weekend drinking feels automatic and why Monday can be the most difficult day to stop. You'll learn how one decision to drink can turn into a multi-day permission slip, why expectations about the weekend create tension, and how to shift your focus earlier so you can understand the pattern and interrupt it before it gains momentum. Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less , here: Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here:
