    Ep 272 Is your Drinkin' Creepin?

    Ep 272 Is your Drinkin' Creepin?

    This week’s episode talks about the creeping effect of drinking alcohol. 

    Have you recognized: 

    1) Your drinking has increased over time in how many days a week you drink or how many drinks you have each time you drink? 

    2) When you try and cut back and then you are ‘loose’ with your rules around alcohol, you notice it creeping back in to your old habits? 

    Tune in and hear how I describe this phenomenon. 

    Alcohol is invasive it’s like a weed with a strong root that takes hold, and sometimes we need to do more than we think to get our drinking under control.

    Ep 271 Do I Say Something if I'm Worried about Someone's Drinking?

    Ep 271 Do I Say Something if I'm Worried about Someone's Drinking?

    This is another question I received and wanted to dive into this specifically. 

    This can feel like a dilemma. You notice someone you care about over-drinking. Maybe they are stumbling at the end of a night out. Maybe they can't drive to pick up their kids, maybe they get really sad or cry after a night out.... and it's not just a one time incident. You notice this frequently. 

    Do you say something?

     Do you not? 

    Is it your place? 

    Will you be able to change them? 

    Tune in and I address this very specific question. 

    If you know someone who over-drinks it can be hard to be in a relationship with them. 

    There is help for them and you. 

    One thing you can do is share my podcast on your socials and emails. 

    It's a great way to say help without coming right out and saying, 'You need to listen to this podcast.' 

    Ala-non is a great resource for family members of someone who struggles with alcohol abuse.

    Ep 270 Is Moderation Possible?

    Ep 270 Is Moderation Possible?

    I'm answering another listener question today on the podcast. I am diving into this question: 

    'I think the thing I wonder most is "is it truly possible to go from decades of nightly wine addiction to moderating easily".

    'Are there people that can switch to drinking 4 or 5 times a month without thinking about it constantly? I'm so tired of thinking about it all the time. I sometimes think it'd be easier just to quit all together.' 

    Tune in this week and hear what I think about moderation versus quitting. 

    The truth is, it's complicated and everyone is different. 

    This podcast episode will help you understand that your journey on reducing how much you drink is unique AND see what we all have in common.

    Ep 269 I Stopped Over-drinking, But Now I Over-eat

    Ep 269 I Stopped Over-drinking, But Now I Over-eat

    I'm answering more listener questions on the podcast today! 

    Today is all about food! Many people transfer one over consumption to another. 

    Today's episode is about food and how you can use the same tools that I teach about alcohol to how much/when you are eating. 

    I address these questions: 

    SO my question is, how do I transition this to food....I have found that I snack like it's my job now that I'm not drinking. I'm stuck here..I thought it could just apply the same principles for alcohol to food, but it feels different because I have made the decision to be alcohol free, but obviously need to eat.' 

    and 

    'I have more weight to lose with and feeding kids complicated everything more than when I was younger.'

    Ep 268 Why Do I Like the Buzz?

    Ep 268 Why Do I Like the Buzz?

    Another great listener question getting answered today.

    Here's the question:

    Why everyone thinks you are over-drinking because of some trauma in your life or some emotions you are trying to cover up... how to deal with over-drinking because you simply LOVE the buzz.

    In this episode, I explain why you get a buzz and why we get addicted to it.

    I also share ways to regulate your dopamine levels and add smaller doses of pleasure into your life so that you aren't searching for the big hit of dopamine and alcohol at the end of the day.

    And of course this goes beyond just looking at the alcohol.

    Women who over-drink tend to over-do, over-think, over-commit and have a lot going on in their lives, so we need to dive in there and see how we are managing this and our minds about doing it all.

    I hope you enjoy this episode!Join me for Wine Free Work Week March 4th through March 8th:http://www.angelamascenik.com/wfwwJoin Alive AF!https://www.angelamascenik.com/aliveaf

    Ep 267 What to do if Someone You Care About Over-Drinks

    Ep 267 What to do if Someone You Care About Over-Drinks

    What do you want to hear on the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living podcast? 

    Today, I'm answering this question: 

    How can you positively influence someone you care about who is over drinking such that it is negatively impacting not only your relationship with them, but many areas of their life and how they show up? How to support and inspire positive changes? 

    Tune in and hear the answer! Also, will you share my podcast?

    Chances are you know a lot of people that struggle with alcohol. 

    Most people who over-drink don't openly share their struggle with family and friends because they don't want to be judged. So, it's helpful, that if you know of a resource to help people with it, to just share it, you never know whose life you might help. 

    I would love it if you shared my story, my Facebook or Instagram pageAngela Mascenik or this free podcast, Stop Over-drinking and Start Living. 

    Just because you share it doesn't mean that you will 'associated' with having a drinking problem. Do the world a favor, share the help!

Thank you so much for your kind words and advise. All of the things you talk about I deal with almost every day. Thank you for being you and caring.

Finally I’m getting the help I need

I’ve battled over eating and over eating for a very long time. All attempts to make myself feel better. Now I’m learning how to be with my emotions and develop positive behavior. Thank you!
