The floodgates metaphor captures exactly how it feels when you reintroduce alcohol after a break - like you've lost all control and are being swept downstream.

You watch your progress unravel, find yourself right back in old patterns, and wonder why you keep making the same mistakes. This experience leaves many people trapped in an exhausting on-again, off-again relationship with alcohol, convinced that something must be wrong with them or their brain.

Tune in this week to learn why reintroducing alcohol after periods of abstinence can feel so overwhelming and out of control. You’ll hear how to break free from this cycle by completely resetting your approach to periods of abstinence, and how to use curiosity to understand what your brain has learned from drinking.
