How To!: Be a Mindful Drinker
Dry January has come and gone, but the conversation about alcohol\u2014and rethinking our relationship with it\u2014is still very much with us. This week\u2019s listener, Natalie, wants to move past the abundance vs. abstinence debate and talk about a third option: thoughtful moderation. In this episode, Courtney Martin brings on journalist Rosamund Dean, author of Mindful Drinking: How Cutting Down Can Change Your Life and Well, Well, Well, a Substack about living better, for longer. She shares how she found moderation through mindfulness\u2014and how you can too.\xa0\n\nIf you or someone you know is struggling with excessive drinking, consider contacting SAMHSA\u2019s National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP.
