Why Sam's Death Caused Me to Stop Drinking

I have been an on again/off again drinker all of my life, always stopping for a while if I felt like I was starting to drink too consistently.    When Sam died, however, I was confronted with the fact that alcohol was getting in the way of me healing from my grief and I no longer cared enough to regulate my drinking.

In this podcast, I explore what I know about Sam's drinking and I also get very candid about my own history, including the time I had alcohol poisoning and lost control of all body functions at 15 years old, and the specific reasons that I was ready to quit for good 6 months ago.

As always, at the end of the episode I will talk about 3 ways to move forward just a little bit today and this week's limerick, titled "My Ode to Alcohol."

Thanks for stopping in.
