Being Mostly Alcohol-Free

This week on the podcast I'm talking about being mostly alcohol-free.  I share my own experience over the last four years as I've changed my drinking habits and the evolution of my relationship with alcohol.  The take-aways of being mostly alcohol-free?  I feel the benefits of being mostly AF and I DESIRE those results MORE than I desire alcohol Being mostly AF means that when I DO include alcohol in my life, it’s planned and it’s enjoyed. And this one is maybe the most important thing I have learned from being mostly AF…I’ve learned that it’s entirely possible. Ready to go for More Sober October?

No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcohol
