6 ways to rethink your relationship with alcohol – with Anna Donaghey

We often reach automatically for a drink as a way to relax or celebrate, but as we get older, we don’t always recover as easily as we used to. Alcohol mindset coach Anna Donaghey joins Liz to explore why we drink, and how we can make more conscious choices.


They discuss the ways we rely on alcohol to manage our emotions, and why willpower isn’t the most effective strategy when it comes to rethinking our relationship with drinking.


Anna also explains the difference between habit and dependency, and how to recognise what you’re really craving when you go to pour yourself a drink.

In this episode:

· How we use alcohol as a coping tool

· Identifying the feeling you’re hoping the drink will provide

· Recognising cultural norms and how we grew up around alcohol
