Gray area drinking


I was a high functioning drinker like Jolene Park, and like her, I didn't have a "rock bottom" per se before I stopped drinking. That said, I'd have to categorize my drinking as really, really, really dark gray.

But her video is a great one, particularly for women who may be using drinking as too much of a crutch. And her NOURISH guidelines to support a more healthy lifestyle are good ones (starts around 6:50):

  • Notice nature
  • Observe your breath
  • Unite with others
  • Replenish [helpful neurotransmitters] with food
  • Initiate movement [yoga is particularly good]
  • Sit in stillness
  • Harness your creativity
