In this episode of Sobertown Podcast, Todd, an expert in the Allied Health and Exercise Field, dives into the tricky topic of spatial associations with drinking. Todd, known for his thoughtful contributions and insightful blogs, brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to the table.

For Todd, even activities like camping or watching sports became triggers because they were so intertwined with drinking. He doesn't shy away from discussing obvious hotspots like bars and pubs, which are practically designed to tempt you. But here's the kicker: Todd believes it's entirely possible to break these associations.
He shares practical tips on how to approach these situations with a solid plan and a clear mindset. It's all about being prepared, having an exit strategy, and not pushing yourself too hard. Todd's message is all about taking it at your own pace and recognizing that sobriety is a journey, not a sprint.
