    The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast

    The Alcohol Minimalist podcast is dedicated to helping habit drinkers and adult children of alcoholics to change their drinking habits and create a peaceful relationship with alcohol: past, present and future. We are proof positive that you can break unbreakable habits and create a peaceful relationship with alcohol. Becoming an alcohol minimalist means: Choosing how to include alcohol in our lives following low-risk guidelines. Freedom from anxiety around alcohol use. Less alcohol without feeling deprived. Using the power of our own brains to overcome our past patterns and choose peace. The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast explores the science behind alcohol and analyzes physical and mental wellness to empower choice. You have the power to change your relationship with alcohol, you are not sick, broken and it's not your genes! This show is intended for educational purposes and does not constitute medical advice. If you are physically dependent on alcohol, please seek medical help to reduce your drinking.

    Undoing the Urge to Overdrink

    Undoing the Urge to Overdrink

    This week I'm talking about interrupting the urge cycle to undo your urge to overdrink.
    There are multiple points inside the urge cycle that we need to learn to interrupt the process.
    I'm talking about after the fact, before you start overdrinking at all and when you've started and have the option to stop "during the binge".
    All of these are important in learning how to overdrink less.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:

    Healthy men under 65:

    No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.

    Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:
    No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.

    One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.

    Abstinence from alcohol
    Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.

    Benefits of “low-risk” drinking
    Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work.

    If you' are unsure about whether or not you have alcohol use disorder, please visit the NIAAA for more information.

    Being Mostly Alcohol-Free

    Being Mostly Alcohol-Free

    This week on the podcast I'm talking about being mostly alcohol-free.  I share my own experience over the last four years as I've changed my drinking habits and the evolution of my relationship with alcohol.  The take-aways of being mostly alcohol-free? 

    • I feel the benefits of being mostly AF and I DESIRE those results MORE than I desire alcohol
    • Being mostly AF means that when I DO include alcohol in my life, it’s planned and it’s enjoyed.
    • And this one is maybe the most important thing I have learned from being mostly AF…I’ve learned that it’s entirely possible.

    The True Cost of A Daily Drinking Habit

    The True Cost of A Daily Drinking Habit

    This week on the podcast I'm talking about two important things: 
    1) Understanding the difference between choosing to have a drink versus not have a drink--which is what most of us are focused on in the moment of choice but instead to focus on choosing to create desire for having the results of an alcohol minimalist life. 
    2) I share the three biggest costs that my daily drinking habit cost me that I really didn't realize until I changed my relationship with alcohol.

    • My daily drinking habit cost me POWER
    • My daily drinking habit cost me MENTAL HEALTH
    • My daily drinking habit cost me TIME

    Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:

    Healthy men under 65:

    No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.

    Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:
    No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.

    One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.

    Abstinence from alcohol
    Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.

    Benefits of “low-risk” drinking
    Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work.

    If you' are unsure about whether or not you have alcohol use disorder, please visit the NIAAA for more information.

    Not Drinking Tonight with Amanda E. White

    Not Drinking Tonight with Amanda E. White

    This week on the show I'm talking with author, therapist and recovery expert Amanda E. White all about her book, Not Drinking Tonight. 
    After reading lots of different alcohol-related books as well as psychology books, I really love this book. It's got so many valuable tools and uses science to explain the brain as well as the science of alcohol.
    As a therapist, Amanda is able to provide lots of insight into trauma and boundaries.
