587 Days Without Alcohol
587 days ago, I made the conscious decision to take control of my own physical and mental wellness by completely removing alcohol from my diet. It was a daunting task, having been entrenched in the culture of going out with friends for drinks or clinking glasses at family dinners. With time, however, I've come to realize what an incredible impact giving up alcohol has had on not only my overall health; it has also taken away so much emotional weight that used to stop me from living freely and fully every day. In this episode, I share my journey through sobriety and how it’s impacted my life.
