Ep 154: The Gray Area Dilemma and Secret to Success

Jan 12

Did you know the majority of people are gray area drinkers? (Probably you too?)

A gray area drinker is anyone who drinks more than the recommended health guidelines and isn’t experiencing large negative impacts in their life from alcohol. Let’s be honest - if alcohol isn’t overtly impacting your life, you may go back and forth on the idea of ditching alcohol.

But ditching alcohol is the FASTEST way to achieve your dream life, and this episode of Euphoric The Podcast tells you why! Discover what it is that leads gray area drinkers to completely ditch alcohol, and what it could do for you. Hear about Karolina’s own “aha” moment in Japan, and the choice that changed the trajectory of the rest of her life. From start to finish this episode is jam-packed with insight and motivation to inspire you.

IN THIS EPISODE:

A gray area drinker is someone who has alcohol regularly. Whether it's weekly, a few times a week, or even daily, it's not having a terribly negative impact on their day to day life.
Karolina shares the crossroads she experienced on a trip to Japan, just 2-months into her alcohol-free journey, and the incredible epiphany that followed after making the decision to not drink.
When someone is a gray area drinker, it's normal to go back and forth with the idea of being alcohol-free. This is why it's so important to recognize the many incredible benefits that come with ditching alcohol.
If you are able to attach or marry your alcohol-free lifestyle with your ability to have your dream life, you will be successful.
How alcohol numbs your emotions, creates people pleasing tendencies, and brings immediate gratification, rather than long-term contentment and happiness.
Why going alcohol-free is the fastest way to rebuild your self-worth and self-trust. The gifts you get from working with a coach will help you step into your new identity.
