In this episode of the Feel Lit Alcohol Free Podcast, hosts Ruby and Susan dive into the topic of transitioning to alcohol-free Friday nights. They answer a listener's question: "I can't imagine my life without drinking? What do you do on a Friday night?"  They share their personal experiences of overcoming the habitual urge to drink on Friday nights (or every night!) and discuss practical tactics such as interrupting routines, being intentional with activities, and changing beliefs and thoughts. Ruby and Susan also explore the impact of strength training for women over 40, delving into its many benefits and providing valuable insights. Listeners are encouraged to join the conversation in the podcast's Facebook community and share their own before-and-after Friday night experiences. This episode offers inspiring and actionable strategies for breaking free from the grip of alcohol and embracing a fulfilling, lit lifestyle.
