🎯My FOMA Series for 30 Days of Support - https://www.patreon.com/collection/695957?view=expanded) In this eye-opening episode, I dive into the growing trend of going alcohol-free and why it’s quickly becoming the new non-smoking. If you’ve ever found yourself annoyed by the influencers and celebrities jumping on the sober bandwagon—or unsure if these conversations even apply to you—this episode is for you. This isn’t just for those participating in Sober October or Dry January, and it’s definitely not for people who identify as having a drinking problem. Instead, it’s for the in-betweeners — the ones who don’t feel dependent on alcohol but still recognize its negative impact on their health and lifestyle. I share my personal journey with alcohol and why I felt like none of the mainstream conversations around sobriety really addressed people like me. I’ll also explore why there’s a cultural shift happening that could make drinking feel as outdated as smoking cigarettes—and how you can decide if going alcohol-free is right for you. Plus, I outline the science and social factors behind why so many people are rethinking their relationship with alcohol. For those who may need additional support, I’ll also share valuable resources for anyone who feels they might have a more serious problem with drinking. 🎯Resources Mentioned in the Episode: Alcoholics Anonymous: https://www.aa.org/) SMART Recovery: https://smartrecovery.org/) This Naked Mind by Annie Grace: https://amzn.to/41VyzOo) Rethinking Drinking by NIAAA: https://rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov/)
