I realized how much I was drinking and I thought that is never ever going to be cool. And so I didn't know that it was just addictive to everybody. I really believe it's going to be like cigarettes are now, you know, because back in The Day everyone was smoking and it was cool and it was great and you could smoke everywhere.
Ever wondered if your drinking habits are problematic, even if no one else seems to think so? Meet Suzanne, who found herself in this very situation. Despite no one telling her she had a drinking problem, Suzanne couldn't shake the feeling that her nightly two glasses of wine—and more on weekends—weren't quite right. She thought about attending AA meetings but quickly realized they weren't for her. So, was she an alcoholic or not?
Suzanne felt stuck in a gray area, unsure where she fit in the spectrum of drinking habits. It wasn't until she stumbled upon 'Quit Lit' and sober podcasts that she discovered a term that resonated deeply: Gray Area Drinking. With newfound clarity, Suzanne began educating herself and working on changing her mindset. Fast forward nearly a year and a half, and Suzanne has been sober, feeling more connected and uplifted than ever.
Her story serves as a beacon for those who might feel caught between social drinking and full-blown addiction. Through mindfulness practices and reprogramming her thoughts, Suzanne found her unique path to sobriety. If you've ever questioned your own drinking habits or felt out of place in traditional recovery programs, Suzanne's journey might just offer the inspiration you need. Tune in to hear more about her story and the importance of challenging societal norms around alcohol.
