Let's Talk: Going Alcohol-Free

I share my thoughts, life experience and perspective in a relaxed format about the topics below related to drinking alcohol and giving it up. I stopped drinking alcohol for the remainder of my life as of late November 2017, but I was a moderate drinker (like I was a smoker) so it was easier for me to give it up compared to someone who may be struggling with a more serious addiction / alcoholism.
