Episode 49  Quit Drinking Before You Hit Rock Bottom  In this episode, I talk to my friend and partner, Courtney Andersen, who joins me as a co-host today.  Courtney is a Health & Fitness Coach, Sober Coach, Founder of Sober Vibes, an online community for women in recovery, and Co-Founder of the amazing support community for Women in recovery called Real Aligned Women aka RAW, and a Podcast Co-host of the RAW podcast. Courtney and I talk about quitting drinking before you hit rock bottom hint; you don't have to hit rock bottom or be an alcoholic to quit drinking. Courtney shares her final rock bottom at twenty-nine and she is open and honest about how recovery has changed her life; but not during the first two years.  Topics discussed:  Are you questioning your drinking? Do you not have a turn-off switch? Do you feel like shit the next day after drinking? Is drinking affecting your work like? Do you carry shame around how much you drink? Do you live with regret and guilt? Do you fantasize about a new life
