You’re stuck because of outdated ideas.
Conventional wisdom says:
And the only solution is lifelong abstinence.
It’s time to leave this outdated thinking behind.
Struggling with temptation isn’t a personal failure, it’s a lack of tools.
You need more than willpower for…
Shitty days where all you want is a drink.
People who make a big deal when you say no.
Expensive bottles that you don’t want to waste.
Glasses topped off without you asking.
Boring dinners that would be more fun with a buzz.
Open bars, drink specials, and markdowns on wine.
The secret is learning how to show up differently before, during, and after the moments you normally give in.
That’s what you’ll find inside Take a Break.
Imagine yourself…
If it feels impossible, it’s because nobody taught you how.
You helped me pinpoint the elusive part I just wasn’t seeing…
Even though it was right in front of me: anticipating and planning for “the freak out” in my brain when I said no! Now I feel so confident, capable, and determined. Truly like I got this.

I used to feel deprived if I did not drink.

– Laura
