When Alcohol Is A Reward With Leigh and Anne Walkup
In this episode, my friends Leigh and Anne Walkup join me to discuss reward behavior and how it can harm women who drink.
They speak about their experiences with rewarding their harmful behavior and how they have found the true rewards of life since they quit drinking.
Leigh and Anne are the amazing women behind Front Porch Life Magazine and the Founders of Retro Rodeo Publishing, and yes, they’re twins!
Since these gals quit drinking in 2016, they have been on a journey of growth and have been incredible in sharing that journey with women like you.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
What reward behavior can look like, and how we often look for reasons to give ourselves rewards.
How rewarding yourself with alcohol can easily become a negative habit.
What Anne and Leigh feel the biggest risk of drinking really is.
Finding activities that are rewarding for you beyond drinking.
How to focus on the joy you’re adding to your life by quitting drinking, rather than the false joy you’re taking away.
