And that's what I like doing. And again, don't really like beer, don't love wine. I would only drink it if I had to. So I've never delved into those alcohol free options. But it's definitely something to think about. Let me know yours - do you think that it's making addictions worse in general? Do you think it's kind of suppressing this whole addiction culture in our society and making it less talked about and less normal to be sober?

In this eye-opening episode of 'Great Mornings are Sober', Kat dives into the murky waters of the NoLo (no or low alcohol) drink industry. She starts with a dose of gratitude, but quickly shifts gears to tackle the big questions: Are these drinks just a clever way to blend in, or do they mask deeper issues and trigger cravings?
