You’ve probably heard the advice to take it "one day at a time," and in early recovery, that can be incredibly helpful. But what if it’s also what’s keeping you stuck?

In this episode, I’m exploring why the one-day-at-a-time mindset can slow down your progress, drain your willpower, and keep you in negotiation mode with alcohol. We’ll talk about:

• how “one day at a time” keeps you reacting instead of deciding;
• why identity, not willpower, is the foundation of real change;
• how decision fatigue makes it harder to stay consistent;
• what it means to commit without needing to commit to “forever”;
• how to shift from daily struggle to long-term freedom.

If you feel like you're waking up every morning back on the hamster wheel, this episode is for you.

And when you're ready to stop negotiating and start becoming who you want to be, book a free consult via the link in the show notes. I’d love to help you make lasting changes to your drinking habits and free yourself from alcohol for good.
