Many of us use alcohol to turn off our brain, escape our problems, or check out, but escapism is actually associated with more intense drinking and lower life satisfaction. In this episode you’ll learn about the different theories behind escapism, why we’re doing this, and how it makes our problems worse. I hope that this episode can help you make some connections so you realize drinking isn’t helping you. I’ll also share a personal story of when I drank to escape and how that went for me.

What to listen to next

E213: self care is not temporarily turning off your brain

E214: self-medication

E216: 4 types of impulsivity

Sober Powered Skills Bonus Episode: One Cause of Escapism and How to Cope
