E176: We Have to Grieve Alcohol (It’s Ok to Miss it‪)‬ Sober Powered

It’s normal to be sad that you can’t drink, feel like you’re missing out, or to start romanticizing alcohol. It’s okay to miss it, but that doesn’t mean you have to drink. In this episode I explain how we get stuck on this ideal version of our drinking that isn’t actually real, why we easily excuse the negatives from our drinking and always think it’s going to be different, and how you can work on grieving alcohol and being okay with letting it go.
What to listen to next:
E155: my career journey
E103: why we want to enhance things with alcohol
E134: coping with boredom
