Episode 2 | Pattern Recognition in Drinking

In this episode of The Sober High, we explore one of the most powerful pillars of The Sober High Method: Pattern Recognition.

I share the exact moment I realised drinking wasn’t about wine at all — it was a predictable pattern my brain had learned. We break down why patterns form, how emotional memories drive urges, and the science behind the habit loop that keeps people stuck.

You’ll learn:

• the emotional, situational, time-based and environmental patterns that fuel drinking
• why the brain loves repetition
• how triggers actually work
• how to identify your own patterns clearly
• a simple tool — Pause, Pattern, Plan — to interrupt the cycle
• why none of this is about willpower or weakness

This episode is about understanding yourself deeply, gently, and without shame.
Because once you can see your patterns, you can change them — and that changes everything.
