When I quit drinking, I didn't have the mental bandwidth to keep my house clean on top of trying to learn how to function like a normal person and feel my emotions.

0:09.0

So I had all this shame build up for years about the state of my house.

0:14.0

When we moved two years ago, I used it as a fresh start to keep my new house clean, and I've done that with the help of house cleaners.

0:21.2

They hold me accountable because I can't blow up my house because I know they're going to be

back in two weeks. And this is why I'm excited to tell you about HomeGlow. You can instantly

1:40.5

do the same thing. We tell ourselves that we're rewarding ourselves, that we drink when we

1:45.8

socialize, that we deserve it, that it's a treat. But actually, what's behind it is more like

1:52.4
