Welcome to the Feel Lit Alcohol Free Podcast, where your hosts, Ruby Williams and Susan Larkin, guide you through the transformative journey of breaking free from alcohol and embracing a vibrant, healthier life. This is part two on moderation, a loaded topic!

Have you ever wondered why moderation feels like an endless struggle, even when you’re disciplined in other areas of your life? In today’s episode, Susan opens up about her personal battle with the concept of moderation after being alcohol-free for 8 months. She shares the raw and real challenges she faced, the negative spiral of returning to drinking, and the mental tug-of-war that comes with trying to control alcohol consumption.

What are the hidden emotional and mental burdens of moderation? Ruby and Susan delve deep into this question, exploring the importance of self-acceptance and the profound difficulties in shifting subconscious beliefs about alcohol as a coping mechanism.

Join us as we uncover the true impact of alcohol on our lives and discuss the invaluable support available within the alcohol freedom movement.
