Ep. 430: Becoming Sober-Curious

We’ve seen something interesting, and maybe you have too, but there seems to be a cultural shift away from drinking alcohol. After our marriages ended, we spent a lot more time drinking than we’d care to admit, but lately things feel a little bit different. The pull to drink feels less and less strong, and we aren’t the only people who seem to be feeling it. Alcohol is a poison, and even though it can create some fun times, maybe it’s for the best that we pull away. But hey, if we still want a cocktail, you know we’re gonna have one, just maybe a little more mindfully this time around.
