#56 - How Quitting Alcohol Changed My Identity, Confidence & Relationships (Q&A)

Welcome back to the podcast! This episode is a special alcohol-related Q&A. Last week, I hit two milestones—I turned 36 and marked two years since I last drank alcohol. Since the previous Q&A episode was such a hit, I asked you to send in your questions again. I hope you find this episode insightful—let me know what you think!
