In Episode 22 I shared my recent decision to give up alcohol for the month of February. I equate the decision to my daughter finally deciding to eat the pb&j so she could have a piece of gum.

Today’s episode focuses in more on the gum, the treat, the reward. I also update you on what 25 days (ish) without alcohol has taught me.

Most exciting, I don’t need alcohol to have a good time! And in fact, alcohol frequently has held me back from fully enjoying certain experiences. What a relief!

Learn all about it, and share with me in the comments below: do you need to do a detox or reset on a “gum-like” reward? Have rewards become the norm? If they do become the norm, are they even rewards anymore? Let’s discuss.
