Summary

Alcohol might be one of the longest-standing relationships in your life, and today's episode will give you permission to grieve the breakup.

You were taught to put alcohol on a pedestal - a magical substance that ‘would make every experience better’. Realizing that lie might come with sadness, confusion, anger, and...yes, grief.

Lean into that. Feel it all. You won't stay there.

I’m proud of you. Keep going.
