thanks - great podcast on TNM. Positive approach to your life on why you don’t drink because you feel better. Great response!! 2 points I struggle with on this journey that may be topics. End of work day and that First 20 minutes drinking a beer. (And thus chasing the feeling of thinking I’m de stressing) Drinking on Friday date night - connecting with my wife. Why do I think this is a connection ?? My reason has been that "Sunrise feeling" Thanks for your energy Bernie Easton , Ct -funny -I call our town "Vermont in Connecticut"
