Description

When did your “normal” drinking start to feel… not so normal anymore?

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook dives deep into that subtle but powerful shift — the moment when alcohol stops feeling like a treat and starts feeling like a habit.

You’ll learn:

 🥂 Why “normal drinking” slowly creeps into dependency without you realizing it
 🧠 How tolerance, stress, and sleep disruption make even a few drinks hit harder
 💬 Why media and culture keep moving the goalpost on what “moderation” means
 🌿 How nutrients like Vitamin B1 (Benfotiamine) and N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) — both found in Cloud9’s Daily Restore — support mental clarity, detox, and balance for anyone drinking less or recovering smarter

🎧 Tap play to explore how “normal” drinking quietly became too much — and how you can redefine balance on your own terms.
