We’ve been programmed by the media, church, our family, and friends that when things get tough, sometimes it’s okay to “relax,” “let loose,” or numb yourself from the stresses and pain of our lives.  But what happens when the numbing effects become an increased habit over time?  It could be drinking, drugs, and everything else used to avoid looking at the critical challenges in life.  The only problem is the only thing created is another problem.  

Angel Uribe is an Alcohol and Moderation Coach and Founder of Stages of Change Center.  Over the last 12 years, she has been working with 1st-time violators (DUIs, DWI, PIs, etc) to get to the root of the core issues that took them to a dark place. 

In this episode, Angel and Lori have a flowing conversation about the exponentially damaging effects of an abusive relationship with alcohol.  They talk about the lies we tell ourselves as it pertains to alcohol, and how to address risk patterns before they become huge issues affecting our families, businesses, and ourselves.
