Imagine that you’ve just got home from a long day at work.

You have the house to yourself and you want nothing more than to sit back, relax and have a few glasses of wine.

So you do.

You have some dinner, along with a few more glasses, then settle into the couch in front of the tv – and have a few more drinks.

You repeat this routine throughout the week.

Week after week.

Month after month.

And you begin to question yourself, “Am I still in control here?”

It can be hard to know…..

This week, I received an email from one of our subscribers on this very topic:

“I have a serious problem with alcohol. I have tried to give it up, or even cut down… I would like to cut down dramatically and not drink everyday – just socially with friends – not every night at home by myself.”

I know what it feels like to have a substance control you. My substance of choice was marijuana.

I would function well throughout the day, but as soon as I got home, I would start smoking it straight away.

Every. Single. Day.

I haven’t had this same experience with alcohol, however, so I wanted to bring in an expert on the topic – my good friend, Chris Merlo.

Chris came into my studio many years ago, with a serious drinking addiction.

Today, he’s been sober for 3.5 years and now helps others to manage their drinking habits.
