Summary

Are you wondering why you should rethink your drinking, even if you're not "that bad"?  Maybe you're sober curious or concerned about your relationship with alcohol, even if you don't consider yourself to have a "serious problem."  Perhaps you find yourself in the "gray area" of drinking, where your consumption doesn't appear problematic to others, and you haven't faced external consequences, but deep down, you know it's holding you back and keeping you stuck.  Or maybe you're simply tired of those dreaded hangovers, 3 am wake-ups, or not remembering the end of some nights. If you're contemplating whether an alcohol-free lifestyle could be better than your current situation, this episode is perfect for you.  Today, I’m chatting with special guests Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson, the hosts of the Over The Influence alcohol-free podcast. Sharon and Ben both live alcohol-free and enthusiastically advocate for the joys of sobriety because giving up alcohol has completely transformed their lives.
