Episode 225: The Root Cause of Drinking And 3 Steps You Can Take to Fix It

May 24

Going alcohol-free is not just a wellness trend, but a revolutionary way to live your BEST life in 2024.

Everyone who drinks has these two things working against them:

Social conditioning and the power of habits.

Karolina explains how we grow up in a world that encourages drinking and how we form so many beliefs around it on how it meets our needs.

In order to change your relationship with alcohol, belief work is the most important first step to change what associations, meanings, and benefits your subconscious brain is assigning to alcohol.

But the root cause of drinking? This goes much deeper.

Karolina is sharing the many deep-rooted causes of a complex relationship with alcohol, including why unfulfillment can be the hidden driver behind your drinking habits.

We’ll cover why the brain craves a challenge, belief systems, and the 3 steps to fulfillment (and why it starts with knowing what you actually want).

REFLECTION QUESTION

Let’s reflect on your underlying triggers. What emotions or situations typically lead you to reach for a drink? Is it stress, boredom, social pressure, or something else?

“I believe the root cause of a complicated relationship with alcohol is unfulfillment. And oftentimes, we don't know that's what it is, because until we get enough space away from alcohol, we just see it as stress.”
Karolina Rzadkowolska

“Every new year is a completely new chapter in your life. Every new decade is definitely a new chapter in your life. We change, we evolve. Something that used to give us fulfillment when we were younger can change and pivot. And so now we have to find ‘what is this new source of fulfillment?’ Where do I feel really lit up and passionate today? Fulfillment is something we do as a practice.”
Karolina Rzadkowolska
