Content warning: Drinking alcohol; and addiction.
When making the shift to an alcohol-free life, Jason and Andy Quin noticed the lack of options available were limited for those looking for an alcohol-free adult beverage without tonnes of sugar or preservatives.
It was from this insight that their family-run beverage business on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula of Victoria - ETCH Sparkling - was born.
In this episode, I sit down with Jason & Andy to unpack Jason’s journey to maintained recovery, to learn more about alcohol-free beverages, and discuss overcoming barriers to seeking help with alcohol, and the importance of finding alternative ‘rituals’ in recovery.
