Summary

From college binge drinking to masking depression with every clinking glass, Marci unveils the hidden struggles behind seemingly "normal" adult drinking. Discover the "aha" moments that led her to ditch the bottle, the power of self-reflection and community in making not drinking easy, and how breaking free from alcohol-fueled a personal and professional renaissance you won't want to miss.
