Summary

For Rachael, just like for many of us, alcohol was always there. Australian culture had her drinking in her teens and the amount she drank increased over the years as life and the circumstances around it changed. It took the realization that a six-month break from alcohol did nothing to change her desire for it for Rachael to realize that she needed a dynamic and drastic shift in her drinking. Rachael and Annie discuss how to get away from alcohol once and for all, how insidiously alcohol takes over your life, why she enjoys things more now and creates more meaningful connections, and why she was driven to give back and help others.

0:40.1	I remember drinking not a lot at high school to be honest, but I'd start out on the sickly
