We should learn other ways to relax. It's hard, but we have many opportunities to do different things.
Imagine receiving a life-changing medical diagnosis at a young age that forces you to rethink your relationship with alcohol. This is exactly what happened to Meli, the guest on this episode of La Vida Seca. Host Odette Cressler sits down with Meli to discuss her unique journey of accepting a life without alcohol and the challenges that come with it.
Meli opens up about how her diagnosis led her to separate from alcohol early on and how she navigated the societal pressures and stigmas around therapy and sobriety. She shares candidly about the difficulties of growing up in a culture where drinking is often seen as a rite of passage and how she found new ways to relax and form friendships without alcohol.

Her story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about finding peace and joy in sobriety. This episode is a heartfelt conversation filled with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone looking to embrace a sober lifestyle.
