À propos de cet audio
Why does getting sober feel so overwhelming—even before you take the first step? In this episode, we break down the hidden reasons your brain panics when you try to make a change. From the fear of losing a coping mechanism, to the identity you’ve carried for years, to the mental fatigue of suddenly having to rethink everything in your daily routine… there are real, understandable reasons the beginning feels so hard.
We’ll talk about the “overwhelm trap,” identity lag, decision fatigue, and the myth that you need motivation before you can change. You’ll learn why your mind jumps to worst-case scenarios, why you freeze at the starting line, and why none of this means you’re broken or weak—it means you’re human.
If you’ve ever said “I’ll start tomorrow” or felt like sobriety requires becoming a totally different person overnight, this episode will help you slow things down, find your first step, and start building real momentum.
Whether you’re trying to get sober, stay sober, or finally build a life that feels good without alcohol, this conversation will help you understand what’s happening in your brain—and how to move forward one small, doable step at a time.
