| 0:06.8 | Whether you want to drink less or stop drinking, |
| 0:09.4 | this podcast will help you change the habit from the inside out. |
| 0:13.6 | We're challenging conventional wisdom about why people drink, |
| 0:17.1 | and why it can be hard to resist temptation. |
| 0:20.2 | No labels, no judgment, just practical tools to take control of your desire and stop worrying |
