 On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Anna Donaghey—alcohol mindset coach, author, and host of The Big Drink Rethink—about why high-achievers quietly struggle with drinking and how to replace alcohol’s “jobs” (confidence, belonging, relief) with tools that actually nourish. We unpack Anna’s “What are you truly thirsty for?” framework, practical pause-and-choose strategies, and how boundaries, self-awareness, and nervous-system care build a life you don’t want to escape. If you’re sober-curious, rethinking happy-hour habits, or ready to change your relationship with alcohol without shame or moralizing, this direct, science-informed conversation is for you. About the guest : Anna Donaghey spent 25 years as a strategy director in high-pressure advertising before confronting a growing dependence on alcohol. Now an alcohol mindset coach, podcast host of The Big Drink Rethink, and author of the forthcoming What Are You Thirsty For?, she helps people identify the unmet needs behind the drink and choose healthier ways to meet them. Key takeaways: Name the “job” you’re giving alcohol (confidence, connection, relief, sleep). Once named, you can meet that need directly. Micro-pause practice: before you drink, ask, “What am I really thirsty for right now?” Even if you still drink, the pause builds choice. High achievers are vulnerable: perfectionism, control, and overperformance can become an Achilles’ heel, pushing private, compensatory drinking. Alcohol isn’t the root problem; it becomes a placeholder for unmet emotional needs. Replace numbing with nourishing inputs. Build a life you don’t want to escape: core nutrients (body, mind, soul), better boundaries, and tools for regulation reduce urges. Treat sensations (tension, cravings, fatigue) as information, not failure. Respond with rest, connection, movement, or creativity. Success can mimic a drug (dopamine loops), just like work, scrolling, gaming. Swap quick hits for sustainable fulfillment. This is not about deprivation; it’s about empowerment—making alcohol small and irrelevant so you choose with intention. You don’t have to quit to begin; you do need to stop using alcohol as an emotional management tool. Start today: identify your top two “thirsts” (e.g., calm, belonging) and list non-alcohol ways to meet each in 10 minutes or less.
