Summary
In this #minishow I update you on how my fourth #26habits challenge has been going. Can I break the habit of casual drinking? Should I break the habit of casual drinking? I've teamed up with The Pool (@thepooluk) for #26habits and their Junior AV Producer, Hannah Varrall, has been joining me on this particular journey.
Tune in to out what challenges we've faced along the way, whether we've been honest with other, the benefits we've noticed from quitting and whether we'll be taking this habit beyond the two weeks.
In this episode I also share some excellent resources everyone trying to cut down or cut out should take a look at and some brilliant feedback and observations I've had from listeners about quitting and cutting down.
Useful resources:
Girl and Tonic by Laurie McAllister.
The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober by Catherine Gray.

| 0:15.0 | eating a slice of fresh apple and taking a bite out of a trock ice, |
| 0:20.0 | all with the purpose of learning about my teeth sensitivity. Now I knew I had some sensitivity but it was really helpful |
| 0:26.1 | learning from Anita the reasons why, the foods that can cause that sharp feeling of sensitivity, |
| 0:31.1 | and the changes I can make to minimize any discomfort moving forward. |
| 0:35.0 | Since the chill test I've been using Senser Dine Repair and Protect Toothpaste, |
| 0:39.0 | it's clinically proven to provide long lasting protection for sensitive teeth with twice daily brushing, |

| 0:48.8 | to help protect you from the pain of sensitive teeth. |

| 1:50.4 | The last alcoholic drink I actually had was on Saturday the 3rd of February. |
| 1:55.9 | So I'm a little further into this than the timeline would actually suggest. |
