How Many More Years Do You Want to Spend Thinking "It's Not That Bad?" (Gray Area Drinking)
The biggest problem with gray area drinkers is that they don’t have a huge rock bottom. They usually have limited outward consequences or none at all, and this lack of consequences makes it very easy to keep drinking. Most of us think that quitting for good is only for hardcore alcoholics and if you’re not that bad, then you will be able to figure out how to moderate. If you struggle with telling yourself "it's not that bad", then I hope this episode gives you some perspective to move forward. What to listen to next: E77: are non-alcoholic drinks okay to drink?
