LISTEN: What is a healthy relationship with alcohol?
What's your relationship with alcohol? What is a high functioning alcoholic? And how do you know when drinking has become a problem rather than just a 'good time'?
I was literally leaving work early because I was like 'I want to get home and have my glass of wine'. It was all I could think of.
In a frank and honest discussion, Don't hold back podcast host Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba chats to Clive Vanderwagen - a motivational speaker, TEDx speaker and a mindset coach - on everything from binge drinking to mindfulness to hangover cures.
"Can you quit drinking for day in a week, a week in a month and a month in a year? If that creates a sense of dread or worry about, ‘can I do that?’ - then you potentially have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol," says Vanderwagen in the latest episode of our new podcast.
The two talk about how developing a healthy relationship with alcohol helped Vanderwagen to optimise his life. Click below to listen.
