What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol?

They dive into how these small victories, often overlooked, are essential in maintaining motivation and building resilience.
Imagine the boost of putting on your shoes for a walk or jotting down a sentence in your journal—these micro wins can significantly enhance your emotional well-being. Duane and Eric discuss how celebrating these tiny achievements can create a positive mindset that fuels progress toward larger goals.

Whether you're battling addiction or supporting someone who is, the wisdom shared here can be a game-changer.
