Takeaways

Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek out and interpret information that confirms our existing beliefs.

Confirmation bias can influence our decision-making and hinder critical thinking.

It is important to be open to adjusting our beliefs based on new information and to consider alternative perspectives.

For Christian women, seeking guidance from scripture and prayer can provide strength and support in overcoming drinking habits.
