For Rachael, just like for many of us, alcohol was always there. Australian culture had her drinking in her teens and the amount she drank increased over the years as life and the circumstances around it changed. It took the realization that a six-month break from alcohol did nothing to change her desire for it for Rachael to realize that she needed a dynamic and drastic shift in her drinking. Rachael and Annie discuss how to get away from alcohol once and for all, how insidiously alcohol takes over your life, why she enjoys things more now and creates more meaningful connections, and why she was driven to give back and help others.

Annie Grace welcomes Rina Bowring to the podcast today. Rina grew up in South Africa and her experiences with alcohol started as a preteen using alcohol to overcome her social fears. After drinking regularly in her teens and early 20’s, a move to Australia led her to reduce her drinking. This lasted until the birth of her son, overwhelmed by motherhood she embraced the 5 o’clock happy hour with a glass of wine and the belief that it was helping her. This continued through after the birth of her daughter but the appeal of drinking had left her. She tried to find control over alcohol in many ways but it was ultimately The Alcohol Experiment that freed her. Annie and Rina discuss how finding freedom from alcohol unleashes gratitude, managing a social life alcohol-free, and how our connections become more valuable alcohol-free.
