    Episode 3 | It’s NOT Willpower: The Hidden Conditioning Behind Drinking (And How to Break It)

    In today’s episode of The Sober High, we’re diving deep into the psychology and conditioning that shape your relationship with alcohol — often long before you ever take your first drink. This isn’t about willpower. This isn’t about being “good.” This is about understanding the neuroscience, habit loops, emotional triggers, and cultural conditioning that keep people stuck in the drinking cycle… and how to finally break free. We look at: 💥 How conditioning wires your brain to crave alcohol 💥 Why urges feel so strong (it’s not weakness — it’s prediction circuits) 💥 How to interrupt the pattern in real time 💥 What actually breaks the loop (it’s not avoidance… it’s awareness) 💥 Urge Surfing: A 5-minute technique that rewires cravings 💥 Why relapse isn’t failure — it’s data 💥 How to start making new neural pathways stick Whether you’re sober-curious, cutting back, or rewriting your entire relationship with alcohol, this episode gives you the science, the psychology, and the compassion to finally understand your patterns — and change them. 🎄 SLEIGH THE SEASON — JOIN NOW If you want daily support, tools, and guidance to stay grounded through the holidays, join my 30-day program Sleigh The Season.
