Instead, they discuss practical tools like breathing exercises and mindfulness practices that have helped them manage anxiety without alcohol. If you’ve ever reached for a drink to soothe your stress, this episode might just change your perspective.
Tune in to discover how self-awareness can be your best ally in breaking free from the cycle of anxiety and drinking.
