Join your host, Deirdre Coyne, as she shares valuable insights, tips, and resources to help you navigate through a weekend without relying on wine. Deirdre introduces us to the "three Ds" technique – delay, distract, decide – which can empower us to resist the urge for that extra glass or even the first sip of wine. She explains how by delaying the decision for 25 minutes, distracting ourselves with meaningful activities during that time, and then deciding based on thoughtful considerations, we can make a more conscious choice about our alcohol consumption. Throughout the episode, Deirdre encourages us to reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of drinking, how it aligns with our life goals, and how it may impact our overall well-being. She emphasizes the importance of balancing instant gratification with delayed gratification and reminds us that we seldom regret choosing not to indulge in that extra drink.However, Deirdre also acknowledges that this approach is primarily for those who fall into the gray area of drinking and not for individuals with alcohol dependency. If you suspect you have a dependency, she advises consulting with your doctor before making any changes to your alcohol intake.Tune in to this insightful episode as Deirdre guides us towards a weekend without wine, inviting us to explore the possibilities of enhanced well-being and the joy that can come from embracing conscious choices.
