It’s Not About Willpower

Willpower alone will never work.

We are habitual creatures for a reason, and to be honest, it serves us well in most parts of life.

But when you want to make changes that last, like drinking differently on your own terms, you need more than willpower to make them stick.

I wrote about this for you in Breaking Decades of Drinking Habits: Why Willpower Alone Won’t Work, and in ep#111. Drinking on Autopilot: How Daily Stress Fuels Your Evening Habits, and now the Habit Breaker will help you put it all into practice.

Your Vault Tool

It breaks down the three stages of a habit, including which one is working against you and which one is in your control.

Then two trackers help you to put your personal observations to work and implement new strategies that give you what you want without taking anything away.
