When Rachael had to navigate a huge life event, alcohol quickly became the support she thought she needed - until she realised it was taking far more than it was giving. Join us as Rachael shares her story through gray area drinking, navigating a divorce, and many of the ways alcohol is conning us into believing it's a good friend.
