Do other people’s behaviour trigger you to drink? Today on the Big Drink Rethink, we're exploring a topic that affects many of us: how to manage those moments when other people’s behaviour triggers our urge to drink. This episode is inspired by a question from one of my coaching clients, who finds herself frequently wound up by others, and is wondering how to stop being triggered by them. Join me, Anna Donaghey as we look at ways to face these challenges head-on, especially in our busy and unpredictable lives where stress and emotions can run high. I'll be sharing insights on how to accept life's chaos, manage your own responses, and I introduce you to the enlightening concept of Mel Robbins' "Let Them Theory." This approach could be the key to reducing stress and building emotional resilience. Make sure you listen to get some valuable strategies to rethink your relationship with alcohol and find peace amidst the chaos.
