EP 311: A Journey to Self-Love & Sobriety: Reflecting on Alcohol Use & Relationships

How can alcohol impact our ability to make intentional decisions?  2. What are the potential risks of developing alcohol dependence?  3. How can personal growth and inner healing work help us better manage our relationship with alcohol?   I understand that not everyone has the same experience, but through my own journey, I learned that I do not need alcohol to be confident or to enjoy socializing.
