Summary

How do you know if your relationship with alcohol falls into the category of being a “gray area drinker”? That muddy space existing between the two extremes of being able to ‘take or leave’ alcohol and becoming increasingly dependent on it in a problematic way? Before Gray Area Drinking was even a term I spent years debating if I was just a “red wine girl” who drank socially like most of my friends or if I had a serious problem with alcohol that I needed to control.   It was a confusing place to be because not only did I love to drink but I also had a successful career, a happy family, friends who drank with me, no significant negative consequences from my drinking and no one telling me I should stop drinking. Many women find themselves in this ambiguous space where the line between social drinking and dependency becomes blurry. So if you’re unsure if your relationship with alcohol is healthy or problematic, or if you’re wondering if your drinking falls into the gray area, this episode is for you.
