Grey Area Drinking: When You’re Not Rock Bottom But Not Okay

In this episode, I sit down with Steve Smith to talk about a side of drinking that often gets overlooked.Life can look good on the outside—work, responsibilities, everything in place—but underneath, something feels off.Low energy. Poor sleep. Always needing something to take the edge off at the end of the day.Not rock bottom. But not where you want to be either.We talk about what it looks like to question your drinking, even if you wouldn’t call it a serious alcohol problem, and how that “grey area drinking” can quietly hold you back.Some of the things we get into:The subtle signs alcohol is holding you backFeeling “fine” but not fully yourselfUsing alcohol to cope with stress and shut the day offWhat actually changes when you quit drinkingIf you’ve ever wondered whether it’s time to stop drinking, or asked yourself, “Do I have a drinking problem?”—this one will probably hit.Going alcohol-free didn’t change who Steve was — it changed what he believed was possible.Instagram: @Steve SmithWebsite :www.soberilliant.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-smith-5917519a/If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezhttps://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/www.instagram.com/grownuphustle Hosted on Acast.
