Gray Area Drinking: Meg Geisewite's Journey to Freedom
“Gray area drinkers do not have a physical dependency on alcohol; they drink because they want to, not to avoid withdrawal symptoms. They don’t identify as having alcohol use disorder, so they wouldn’t be comfortable in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, and they can stop anytime they want to.”

Kim and Kezia from 'The Weekend Sober' sit down with Meg Geisewite, author of 'Intoxicating Lies', to shed light on this often-misunderstood topic.
