Rachel Hart
Tired of breaking your promise to go easy on the drinks tonight? You know your nightly habit isn't great for your health or waistline, but it's so hard to say no.

63: The In-Between Time
You've taken a break from drinking and you're getting amazing results. You're enjoying yourself, not just physically but also emotionally; you're starting to see that there's a different way of being without needing or wanting a drink. Yet, there's a part of you that feels unsettled. You can't shake the thought that sometimes it feels like you don't know who you are anymore. I call this period "the in-between" time. You're in the place where you're shedding one identity and beginning to create a new one. And, unfortunately, this place of uncertainty brings up a lot of fear for people.
