0:00.0	You are listening to the Take a Break Podcast with Rachel Heart, episode 365.
0:07.0	Whether you want to drink less or stop drinking, this podcast will help you change the habit from the inside out.
0:14.0	We're challenging conventional wisdom about why people drink and why it can be hard to resist
0:19.1	temptation.

1:40.0	and see which one resonates more with you.
