This video is about why you should stop drinking if you want better mental health. My own sobriety has made me much happier and more stable since I quit drinking in 2018, and I’m sharing five tips to help you if you’re struggling with alcohol usage or any kind of substance abuse. Remember: things can get better, and simply admitting you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery. So, let’s talk about sobriety!

Change is possible! A loved one got sober in their late 50s after decades of struggle, and it has been truly amazing to witness their transformation. It is possible!

I just found your podcast on Spotify and LOVE it!! I'm a marathon runner and 100% abstain from alcohol...but have plenty of friends who have struggles or chose to give up alcohol.
Thanks for your content and honesty. I think EVERYONE could benefit from all the practical advice you give. I recently listened to podcast on "Opportunity" and decided to look at summer heat as an "opportunity" to get up earlier instead of just complain about summer heat.
Keep it up, love your educational perspective!

Alcohol is horrible. The aniexty and depression the next day is painful and I had to drink again to get relief and then it starts all over again! I wish it was illegal!
