You are listening to the Take a Break Podcast with Rachel Hart episode 253.

Whether you want to drink less or stop drinking,

this podcast will help you change the habit from the inside out.

No labels, no judgment, just practical tools to take control of your desire

and stop worrying about your drinking.
