373\\ The 18-Minute Rule That Can Stop a Drinking Urge in Its Tracks.
Om avsnittet
Most women think they have a drinking problem.
They don’t.
They have an urge problem… and a response problem.
Because here’s what no one tells you:
An urge to drink isn’t permanent.
It’s not even that powerful.
It’s a wave.
It rises… peaks… and passes.
Sometimes in as little as 15–20 minutes (shoutout to Annie Grace and This Naked Mind for bringing language to this 🙌).
But what do we do?
We don’t wait.
We don’t question it.
We don’t get curious.
We OBEY it.
And in that moment, we trade:
→ peace
→ clarity
→ self-trust
→ the version of us we actually want to become
…for a feeling that was going to pass anyway.
Let me ask you something real:
Are you really willing to give up the woman you’re becoming…
for 18 minutes of discomfort?
Because that’s the deal.
Not forever.
Not even the whole night.
Just a small window where your brain is loud, uncomfortable, and looking for relief.
And every time you don’t give in?
You’re not just skipping a drink.
You’re:
✔️ rewiring your brain
✔️ building discipline
✔️ becoming a woman who keeps her word to herself
So next time the urge hits, don’t panic.
Pause.
Say: “I’m having an urge.”
Set a timer for 18 minutes.
And just… watch what happens.
You might be surprised how powerful you actually are.
If you’re ready to stop the cycle for good and actually understand what’s driving it, that’s the work we do inside my programs.
