Not Drinking Tonight with Amanda E. White

This week on the show I'm talking with author, therapist and recovery expert Amanda E. White all about her book, Not Drinking Tonight. After reading lots of different alcohol-related books as well as psychology books, I really love this book. It's got so many valuable tools and uses science to explain the brain as well as the science of alcohol.As a therapist, Amanda is able to provide lots of insight into trauma and boundaries.
