In Nakd Classics we bring back your favorite episodes that focus on mindset, confidence and holistic health.  UPDATE: I've now been completely sober for nearly 2 years. This episode was the beginning of experimenting with it.... Original Episode 251:  What is sober curious? Sober curious is examining your relationship with drinking.  In this episode I'm giving you a unique way to do it. The (semi) sober experiment is 30 days of reducing how much you drink and building awareness of how you use alcohol.  I’ll share my experience - now more than a few months - and why it’s completely changed the way I view drinking. Our dependence and normalisation of alcohol makes it very difficult to pinpoint when is it a problem and when is it in balance? This episode is to help you figure that out. It’s also to support you in deciding what that relationship will look like in the future. Listen for a mindset shift you weren’t expecting! *For anyone suffering from alcohol addiction please listen to episode 104 with psychiatrist and founder of selfrecovery.org, Dr. Daniel Hochman* Listen to Next: Episode 104: Healing with Curiosity with Dr. Daniel Hochman RESOURCES Podcast Mentorship: www.chardetryel.com
