Over the past 3 episodes, we've explored the first 3 out of the 4 most challenging headwinds you're likely to face as you take a break from your drinking habit. Today we delve into the 4th and final of these challenges, which is unique in that unlike the first 3, it is outside of your control.

We are speaking here of social pressure. Chances are, if your drinking habit has grown to a point where taking some time off is warranted...it probably means you live in a society (and possibly travel amongst a circle of family and friends) where drinking is a big priority. It can therefore feel like you are choosing to go against the grain when you opt out.

Thankfully, there are several helpful strategies and insights you can lean on when you begin feeling pressure to fit in, or when your brain tries to use the old FOMO trick (Fear Of Missing Out) to make you buckle and go back to drinking.
