Summary

Most of us know that alcohol is poison, it makes us feel shitty, and rarely leads to much good. Despite knowing this, it’s easy to get pressured into drinking even if you don’t want to. This episode is for all my sober-curious friends, who want a fun-filled life without being dependent on alcohol (or any substance for that matter). You will learn about... - the benefits of quitting, or at least reducing, your consumption of alcohol - how to set boundaries around alcohol around friends, family, and your partner - the link between adderall and alcohol - why alcohol makes us more turned on + ideas for sober dating - how to regulate your emotions before turning to your substance of choice (whether that’s drinking, smoking, or scrolling) Regardless if quitting drinking is right for you or not, you can be less dependent on substances and thus, more emotionally aware, connected, and present in your life. Amanda E. White is a licensed therapist and the creator of the popular instagram account @therapyforwomen. She is the host of the podcast, “Recovered-ish.” She is the author of the book “Not Drinking Tonight” and its corresponding workbook. She is the founder of the group therapy practice, Therapy for Women Center, based in Philadelphia serving clients across the country.

0:00.0	Welcome to Mary's Cup of Tea, the Self-Love Podcast for Women. I'm your host, Mary Jolkovsky,
0:08.8	an author, speaker, and all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you
0:15.5	to love yourself. Hello, self-lover. Before we dive into today's podcast episode, I want to make sure you know about my two books on
0:24.9	self-love. If you're struggling with body image or self-acceptance, then I highly recommend you check out my
0:30.3	first book, The Gift of Self-love. It's a comprehensive workbook to help you build confidence,
0:36.1	recognize your worth, and learn to love who you are.
0:39.3	Thousands of people have this book and the five-star reviews are so amazing. They give me so much
0:44.6	life. So I hope that this is something that can help you too. You can get it wherever books are
0:49.1	sold by searching for the gift of self-love or go to my website, maryscup of tea.com slash book.
0:56.2	After releasing the gift of self-love and reading all your positive feedback,
0:59.9	I realized that we really needed something to keep us going every single day.
1:03.8	So not a deep-dive workbook, but maybe like a micro dose of self-love in your daily life,
1:10.1	which is why I wrote 100 days of self-love.
1:12.9	It's a guided journal with, you guessed it, 100 prompts, that cover so many areas of life,
1:18.0	including body, identity, purpose, emotions, mindset, relationships, and more.
1:23.7	So you can really think of it as a metaphorical multivitamin, something to keep you
1:28.3	going, or as I like to say, growing on your self-love journey. You can get this journal wherever
1:33.2	books are sold as well by searching for 100 days of self-love or go to mary's cup of tea.com
1:38.7	slash journal. It's my mission to share all the self-love tea with you, so I hope that both my books
1:44.0	and this podcast can do
1:45.3	just that. I think most of us know that alcohol is poison. It makes us feel shitty. It rarely leads to much good. And that one funny story or
2:05.2	happy memory is often not worth the 10 other times that we found ourselves sick and tired and
