In this powerful and reflective episode of The Sober & Strong Podcast, host Mel Stephens helps you look deeper into the real reasons behind why you drink, or why you still crave alcohol, even after taking a break.

You’ll learn how to identify what you’re actually craving, and how to replace alcohol with healthier, more fulfilling choices that truly meet your needs.

By the end of this episode, you’ll start to see that alcohol was never really the solution; it was just the habit standing between you and the person you’ve always dreamed of being.
