The Alcohol & Addiction Podcast

Ever found yourself beating yourself up after a small mistake? You miss a workout. Snap at a loved one. Lose focus at work. And suddenly, the voice kicks in: “You’re pathetic. You always screw it up.”   That voice isn’t just cruel. It’s your Inner Judge. And it might be sabotaging your sobriety.   In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, I break down how that harsh inner critic feeds shame, triggers alcohol use, and blocks you from living a SELF-led life.   You’ll learn how to spot the Judge, respond with compassion, and build real self-trust without needing a drink to escape your failures.
