I get asked constantly whether I still drink alcohol, as my answer will somehow validate my right to speak on the subject. Well, I'm getting fed up of answering that question, and here's why - it's completely missing the point! In this one-on-one episode, I’m jumping with two feet into why I've built this platform for the messy middle ground, why shame-based messaging from both sides drives me mad, and why you don't need to make lifelong commitments to change something today. This is my honest take on why the Low No Drinker Media platform isn't about demonising alcohol or crowning ourselves as superior - it's simply about helping you figure out what works for you. <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/2229527/episodes/17249545-beyond-the-binary-mindful-drinking-in-the-grey-area'>0:00</a> No preaching from the middle ground <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/2229527/episodes/17249545-beyond-the-binary-mindful-drinking-in-the-grey-area'>5:00</a> Alcohol isn't evil, but it is powerful <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/2229527/episodes/17249545-beyond-the-binary-mindful-drinking-in-the-grey-area'>10:02</a> No shame, no fearmongering, no misinformation <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/2229527/episodes/17249545-beyond-the-binary-mindful-drinking-in-the-grey-area'>15:00</a> My business would be easier if I did === 🥃 Download your free guide: WHY YOU CAN'T DRINK LIKE YOU USED TO + YOUR NEW 5pm FIX - <a href='https://mindfuldrinkingreset.com/'>mindfuldrinkingreset.com</a> === 📰 <a href='https://www.lownodrinkermagazine.com/'>SUBSCRIBE TO LOW NO DRINKER MAGAZINE</a> online or in print anywhere in the world at <a href='https://www.lownodrinkermagazine.com/'>https://www.lownodrinkermagazine.com </a> === 💰 Get 10% off drinks at Wise Bartender with code LOWNODRINKERMAGAZINE - <a href='https://wisebartender.co.uk/LOWNODRINKERMAGAZINE'>https://wisebartender.co.uk/lownodrinkermagazine</a>* === *Some links are affiliate links.
