Summary

Shirley’s first experience with blackout drinking came during her teen years. It began a cycle that saw her drinking increase and decrease over the years but she never felt in control. When she finally realized she didn’t even enjoy drinking anymore she decided she needed to change her relationship with alcohol. Annie Grace and Shirley dive into some deep conversations about blackout drinking and filling in the missing pieces, how knowledge creates the most amazing mindset shifts and you realize that you can do anything alcohol-free, and the impact of being alcohol-free on the relationships in our lives.
