81. Community, Friendship & Allyship with Yasmin Spark

In this week’s episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast Patrick is joined by the fabulous Yasmin Spark AKA @sugarwaterxx

Yasmin is celebrating 6 years of sobriety and has made some pretty radical changes in her life since giving up alcohol in her life.
