Ep 22: Rethinking the Drink (part 2)

Episode summary:

Disclaimer: My choice not to drink does not come with judgment of your choice to drink. This is completely judgement free. I'm exploring my relationship with alcohol and hoping that my journey resonates with my listeners. 

Over the past couple of months, Jennifer has been exploring her relationship with alcohol and drinking. Now, after 2 months without a drink, she fills us in on her history with alcohol from high school to college to having her kids, and talks about the challenges of not drinking in a culture built around alcohol.

So many of the books and podcasts out there talk about really extreme situations, but there are a lot of people that want to change their relationship with alcohol but don’t have what society would define as a "drinking problem."

Favorite Quotes:

“That’s what I’ve been doing – I’ve been playing around with being a nondrinker.”

“The industry markets alcohol as a way to make life better. We deserve it. They’re targeting us hard.”
