0:15.2	judgment, pain or rules, we explore the role of alcohol in our lives and culture.
0:20.4	Hey everybody, it's Scott Peneered Head Coach at this naked mind. How you doing? So I'm
0:33.8	here. I'm back again for another coaching questions episode of the This Naked Mind Podcast.
0:39.4	I've got four questions to get to today, so I'm going to dive right in. Our first question is this.
0:46.5	I was hoping you could talk a little bit about staying alcohol-free. I've had several longer
0:51.6	periods, 30 and 60 days over the last year. Currently, I'm on day 23, way to go. That's awesome.

1:54.4	seems to be going better because you're not drinking. And this continues for a while. But what happens
2:00.4	is this exciting new thing just becomes normal, right? When every day is this amazing, exciting alcohol
