Grey Area Drinking? What is it and how do you know if you have a problematic relationship with alcohol? 🍻 🥂 🍷 🥃 🍸 🍹 🍾
This new episode of Living the Queen Life Podcast might be the one you need to listen to heading into the New Year period. It might change your life.
I don't know about you but during Covid my drinking went from being a drink or two on a Friday night to a bottle every night of the week. It wasn't a problem until it was. And alcohol is so ingrained as a part of life, that a life without it seems, well, boring.....
Stressed, happy, sad, angry, holidays, weekend, kids driving you nuts? Have a drink, you’ll feel better!
You don’t have to be an alcoholic to have a problematic relationship with alcohol. Finding yourself setting rules that you’ll only drink on weekends, and that you'll only drink 2 bottles of wine over the weekend? Or doing Dry July and then making up for it in August?
Did you know that a bottle of wine has the same carcinogenic properties as smoking 10 ci******es? Alcohol directly causes 7 types of cancer and up to 20% of breast cancer diagnosis in Australia are caused by alcohol.
In this episode of Living the Queen Life Podcast by Queen of my own Universe my guest is Grey Area Drinking Coach, Sarah Rusbatch. Sarah is a certified Women's Health and Wellbeing Coach, an accredited Grey Area Drinking Coach and a Key-Note speaker sharing her journey to Sobriety and impact of alcohol on mental health to global audiences. She is also the face of the growing Perth Alcohol Free Movement. After developing what she describes as 'a dysfunctional relationship with alcohol', Sarah made the decision to remove alcohol from her life in early 2019 and has never looked back. She now works with women across the globe, guiding them from feeling lost, stuck and out of control (something she fully understands herself), to a healthier and happier way of living.
Sarah gives listeners some great advice on how to reduce or give up alcohol in your routine, how to reframe your mindset and conversations about the role of alcohol in your life. Maybe consider getting sober curious - how much better could you feel without alcohol?
I recently gave up alcohol due to the impact I could feel it having on my body and I love how I’m feeling without it. I encourage you to keep an open mind as you listen to this episode and consider what your life without alcohol could look like.
