Anna's Guide To Why I Don't Drink

Anna Sitar
About this episode

In this episode of Anna’s Guide, Anna reveals the (not so) big reason behind why she doesn’t drink. She reflects on how her relationship with alcohol has evolved over the years - from having her first drink at a music festival to realising that she doesn’t need to be drinking to have a good time. Navigating a sober-curious world involves coming to terms with past versions of selves, combatting embarrassment and most of all, accepting everyone’s individual life choices of what’s best FOR YOU (which is the best way to live). Welcome to Anna’s Guide to Why I Don’t Drink. 💛
