Whether you want to drink less or stop drinking, this podcast will help you change the habit

from the inside out. We're challenging conventional wisdom about why people drink

0:17.0

and why it can be hard to resist temptation. No labels, no judgment, just practical tools

0:24.0

to take control of your desire and stop worrying about your drinking.

And each time she drank, she had one drink and enjoyed it and then stopped.
