I want to share this episode I recorded with my friend Dr. Mei-Li Hennan on her show, Recovery Plus Podcast. I really enjoyed the conversation I had with her, and I think you will find it interesting too. 

I share: 

I want to say thank you. Thank you all for listening. Quitting drinking was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. And now that I'm on the other side, I'm able to help other people. The Alcohol Tipping Point is one of the most meaningful things that I have had the honor of doing. I have much awe and gratitude for you all. If you are changing your drinking, I’m giving you a high five. I salute you. I am so proud of you. It is worth it. I want you to know that you matter, and you are going to be okay. Always rooting for you. Xoxo, Deb

Drink Less Coach Caroline Holke is on the show. Caroline helps people get rid of the shitty parts of drinking, and this doesn't always mean that they quit drinking. But that they create a life that they wouldn’t dream of numbing out of. Most people focus on what to DO to cut back on their drinking, Caroline has a skill for helping her clients tease out what thoughts are driving their drinking in the first place. She teaches her clients how to apply critical thinking skills to their own thinking because addressing the habit at the root cause is what helps create sustainable change.
