Alcohol, confidence & food

10 July 2023

Why do people drink alcohol? To celebrate? To escape reality? Or to feel something else? Why do we turn to alcohol as a means to destress? And have you ever noticed you feel confident when you’re drunk?

When you drink, the dopamine hit from alcohol becomes addictive, and the brain relies on it to feel good, leading to a cycle of dependence. In short, you feel good when you’re drunk.

But without alcohol, how can we gain confidence without relying on it? How can one improve self-acceptance and mindset?

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m very excited to welcome my special guest — Carol Urry.

Carol is an alcohol control coach specializing in working with mums of teenagers and young adults. She has over a decade of personal experience and understands the challenges and pressures that can lead to relying on alcohol to destress and relax at the end of the day.
