Can You Ever Drink Normally Again? Tim Explores the Big Question

The point of the story is, I believe even if we found a magic way to drink responsibly, we would also find a way to take it to excess.
Ever wondered if you could ever go back to being a 'normal' drinker? In this episode of The Sober and Happy Podcast, Tim dives into one of the most puzzling questions in recovery.
