You’re feeling so much better because you no longer drink.

You are reaping the rewards of living alcohol-free - better sleep, a much better mood.

You have finally discovered that removing alcohol from your life has ADDED so many more interesting and fun things to your existence and BOOM the first day of Spring hits and you’re reminded of drinking memories during warmer months, and you think to yourself: Maybe I’ll put this alcohol-free thing on pause because Spring is here.

Don't pour that drink just yet! 

I know this thought all too well and I also know that you, my friend, can have this thought multiple times, and not drink. 

I've got you! 

You'll discover:

• What drinking reminders are all about

• Why the memory of drinking is not always accurate

• How my drinking memories were not my reality (my outdoor concert experience was not what I thought)

• What to do when drinking reminders hit: some simple tips you can tap into

• What to focus on when the memory of drinking wants to take over your mission to stay alcohol-free during any season is episode is a perfect addition to last week's episode: Why Drinking is Harder than Sobriety in Midlife.
