Episode Notes

Joy Manning is a podcaster and writer focused on food and health. She is a self-described enthusiastic sober person and closet mystic. She shared her journey with us in this episode, including:
 

"I was done drinking, and it was a huge relief. Since then I have felt far more in tune with a sense of my spirit, other peoples spirit, god, the universe. It's just been an avalanche of insights and internal changes in myself." - Joy Manning

"It's so obvious to me now how alcohol can be a wet blanket on any kind of spirituality that you might wish to have. And I actually think alcohol can even blunt the awareness that you would wish for something like that." - Joy Manning

"Alcohol and wine is [sold] as self care. And in my experience, it was numbing and was worsening my anxiety, so it was the opposite of self care for me." -Kyley Caldwell 

"The thing I try to tell people is that I thought nothing would be fun without alcohol. What I didn't understand is that everything would be fun without alcohol and it would be more fun and it would be real fun." - Joy Manning
