EP335: I was drinking every night again. Here's how I stopped.

Colleen gets really personal in this episode. She shares the hard winter that (at one point) sent her back to nightly drinking, financial stress, the loss of her dog, feeling stuck in a house that no longer feels like home, and walks through exactly how she got out.
In this episode:
Why going back to an old drinking pattern is not evidence you failed. It's data.
The rat study that proves hope creates more persistence than willpower or skill ever could
Why focusing on your drinking makes the pattern worse, not better
Upstream thinking: what it actually looks like to increase your capacity instead of restricting your behavior
The breathwork class that broke something open. And the brutal Sunday morning that followed.
Observer consciousness: the difference between being in the storm and watching it
Why stopping drinking didn't fix Colleen's anxiety, sleep, or low energy. And what that means for you.
