Identifying gray area drinking in the spectrum is just to say: get curious, do an experiment and see how you feel without alcohol, without all the baggage that you've been told comes with it.

Meet Casey Davidson, a former 'red wine girl' turned life and sobriety coach, who knows all about navigating this gray area. In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind sits down with Casey to explore what it means to be sober curious and how stepping away from alcohol, even temporarily, can transform your life.
Casey shares her personal journey from trying to moderate her drinking to realizing that a life without alcohol was what she truly needed. She opens up about the silent struggles many women face and how societal pressures can make it feel like you're alone in your battle. But it doesn't have to be that way. Casey emphasizes the importance of community and support in this journey, encouraging women to 'get curious' about sobriety.
She offers practical advice on finding new hobbies and rewards that don't involve alcohol, making the path to recovery feel less daunting. If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of drinking to cope with life's stresses, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just about quitting alcohol; it's about discovering a life you love without it.
