So, it was absolutely one of the first books I ever read. And I thank you for that. And then you also do a lot of work, and you have a book around The Alcohol Experiment. And I’d love to hear from you. Are those meant for different audiences? Are you meant to read both of them?

Welcome to the Hello Someday Podcast, the podcast for busy women who are ready to drink less and live more. I’m Casey McGuire Davidson, ex-red wine girl turned life coach helping women create lives they love without alcohol. But it wasn’t that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a bottle of wine and night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue, holding my life together, helping me cope with my kids, my stressful job and my busy life. I didn’t realize that my love affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to manage my responsibilities.
