From Party Nights to Mindful Mornings: Alex McRobs' Sobriety Journey
I think in a lot of the programs, like the program that I was part of, which was amazing, they were pretty much focused on habit changing and they were like: okay, let's quit drinking, um, encouraging people to quit, telling people to be active, but they weren't actually giving them a routine or a ritual or a habit to make that happen.
