Topics discussed in this episode include: Reasons why someone who isn't an "alcoholic" might choose to stop drinking. How to recognize if your drinking habits might be problematic. Practical steps for those interested in exploring sobriety. Potential benefits of abstaining from alcohol for managing anxiety.
