If you've listened to earlier episodes of the Be Well Cartel, you'll know that in our former lives, Holly, Gillian, and Olivia all partied *hard*, and had some pretty unhealthy relationships with alcohol. These days, our interactions with alcohol look pretty different. Today, we're going to take you through the basic facts of alcohol and what is does in your body, and then dive into our own journeys. Here's what we cover: > Cultural and geographical environments and relationships with alcohol > What does alcohol do in your body? > How do the calories in alcohol work? > What is the effect of alcohol on sleep? > Our personal stories with alcohol - from binge drinking, to sober living, to navigating the in-between > What would our advice be for people getting started with working on their relationship with alcohol? **Please note that if you feel you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol to the extent that it is affecting your life or causing significant distress, this podcast is not designed to help; this should be dealt with by a specialized therapist or support organization such as AA https://www.aa.org/ ** Shownotes: > @therapyforwomen Not Drinking Tonight book - https://www.amazon.com/Not-Drinking-Tonight-Guide-Creating/dp/0306925850 > BWC Sleep episodes: Part 1 https://open.spotify.com/episode/5iljhjyrxYqWisU6wGFhcE?si=28481ba5b1a540a6 Part 2 https://open.spotify.com/episode/7yI397IyCHpgGZPq9kufJg?si=0a9ac5def1ae4cb5
