The Positive Parts Of Not Drinking w/Deb Masner
Deb Masner was a grey area drinker with two young kids and working as a nurse. Alcohol became the thing she couldn’t manage. She turned her drinking and recovery experience into a group program called The Alcohol Tipping Point. She now helps people practice not drinking.
Deb shared how alcohol and herself were the problem. She had to go through the process of marrying the two. She believes we have to keep practicing with our drinking and using that as your guidance in an effort to reduce the shame that can come around drinking.
We talked about the challenges of the medical professionals around problem drinking making it more of a moderation situation. As well as our negative thinking patterns and how to inventory them in an effort to make changes. She specifically likes to focus on the positive parts of not drinking.
You can connect with Deb on her website https://www.alcoholtippingpoint.com as well as on Instagram @alocholtippingpoint.
Deb is also a member of the Confident Sober Women Facebook group so you can connect with her there as well.
