I was a binge drinker for almost 10 years. I didn’t know how to just have one drink. It started in my high school days, and got worse once I went to a party school for my university years. I gained so much weight and was stuck in a toxic cycle of drinking, hangovers, and making poor life choices. 4 years ago, I decided to quit alcohol in order to create the actual life that I wanted for myself. I hope this episode can help you or someone who also needs to make a change in their relationship with alcohol – it’s not an easy journey, but it’s the single best decision I ever made for myself.
