Episode Summary This week on the Fit is Freedom Podcast, we’re going to be exploring something I haven’t really explored before…Alcohol. With our Sugar Freedom program, we discuss avoiding alcohol because of the sugar content. But we’ve never really done a deep-dive on alcohol. Today we’ll discuss its effects on our life, and how it can impact our health and fitness. I could think of no better person to walk us through this topic than Dr. Sherry Price! Through her podcast and platform, she dedicates her time and resources to helping women like herself break undesirable habits and replace them with new, more productive ones.

During her career as a pharmacist, Dr. Price noticed that she was using alcohol in ways many adults do…as a pacifier. It was her nightly ritual. 1-2 glasses of wine to wind down from a stressful day as a hardworking mother. But, she realized her life would be heading in the wrong direction if she kept this habit up. She didn’t feel her best in the mornings. She noticed her body started craving her nighttime treat once the clock hit 5. Dr. Price never hit a “rock bottom”, and she never got in over her head to where it completely derailed her life. She simply realized that she didn’t like this habit any longer, and she wanted to make a change. After lots of research and diving into the data on how to break a habit, Dr. Price did just that. When she realized how life-changing it was to change her own habit, she decided that she wanted to leave the field of pharmacy and dedicate her life to helping others successfully improve their lives by changing their own habits!

Generally speaking, the following are her primary focus when working with someone new…. 1. Observe your cues and triggers It’s important to be observant. Be your own investigator. For Dr. Price, she noticed time was a big cue for her nighttime routine. For others, it may be a particular emotion, a physical place, a person, etc. 2. Rebrand your identity As a wine connoisseur of sorts, Dr. Price viewed herself as a “wine drinker.” In order to break a habit, she needed to change her identity so she didn’t feel like she was being deprived of a big piece of herself. 3. Explore the emotional piece According to Dr. Price, this is the big one! As mentioned above, some cues and triggers are often linked with particular emotions. For example, oftentimes busy moms can often feel guilt and shame for not knocking down their whole to-do list in a day. That feeling could trigger a coping mechanism that may not necessarily be the healthiest option for you. So, it’s important to work through the emotions that you are trying to manage on your own in order to kick a habit. 4. Try one thing at a time Not every technique is right for everyone. Overcoming a habit such as alcohol can take some time. It’s important to try a variety of things and see what sticks and what doesn’t. But, instead of throwing all of your spaghetti at the wall to see if it sticks, throw one piece at a time. 5. Talk it out It’s so important to talk about your habits in a way that doesn’t cause you shame. For some of Dr. Sherry’s clients, that is a one-on-one call with just her. For others, that may be joining her private group calls without your camera on. No matter how you do it, finding a safe place to talk about your struggles is crucial to kicking the habit altogether.
