Summary

Did you stop drinking during the pandemic and now you're worried about being around alcohol in social situations again? As we start to “return to normal,” are you feeling anxious about being around alcohol? What can you do to prepare and how can you continue enjoying your alcohol free life? Annie Grace shares her thoughts.

OK, honesty time. Let me ask you … Did the pandemic change your relationship with alcohol? Maybe you started drinking more than usual? Maybe you started using it as a way to cope with isolation or stress. The truth is, a lot of people did. You are not alone. Are you ready to take back control of your drinking in a post pandemic world and still be able to enjoy life as things reopen? The answer is not in restriction or deprivation. You can break your pandemic patterns and habits and finally feel liberated from alcohol. As we begin to emerge from a very challenging 15 months, you can return to a life where alcohol is small and irrelevant for you, a non-issue. Take the first step and join us for a very special and completely free 5-day virtual event from June 14-18: We will be teaching you exactly How to Get Back in Control of Your Drinking Post Pandemic. Save your spot by June 13th at controlalcohollive.com. We can’t wait to see you there!

And as always, rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast as it helps the message reach somebody who might need to hear it today.
