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.Becoming sober-curious [1:01]Stumbling into sobriety [3:31]Craving alcohol again [10:03]The “benefits” of going sober [13:20]Keeping the stakes low [15:23]Societal obligations to drink [19:33]Working through the story of what alcohol “does” [23:19]Shame is a lousy motivator [25:32]A cultural shift [30:43]Replacing one vice for another [34:40]Get 20% off your Magic Mind order using code THEBESTLIFE20magicmind.com/THEBESTLIFE20Get a personalized playlist for all your fav podcast topics!thebestlifepodcast.com/playlist Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!
