In this first episode, I talk about how I came to get so very curious about our relationship to alcohol - while looking at what exactly this substance does for us that we find so seductive. Besides the fact it's one of the 5 most addictive substances on the planet (up there with heroin, cocaine, nicotine, and amphetamines) - and and it being heavily marketed at us from every direction, that is.
I also set out my BIG MISSION for spearheading this Sober Curious conversation, and inviting anybody and everybody, regardless of whether you have a drinking "problem" to reexamine the way we drink and think about drink: CHOICE.
Growing up in a society where we have what I call a "dominant drinking culture," whether or not we become a drinker often does not feel like a choice - and my goal is to make it as normal NOT to drink as it is TO drink, by removing the stigma that exists around conversations about sobriety and addiction.
