Encore: Not Drinking Tonight with Amanda E. White

The most popular episode of The Sober Edge Podcast is a conversation I had with Amanda E. White. Amanda and I chatted in November 2021 and since that time Amanda has continued to be a strong advocate and voice for women to say no to drinking.

I am sharing this encore edition because this message never gets old! We are empowered to say nothing more than “I’m not drinking tonight”. And, what a powerful message that is, to choose self-care, self-love, over the pressure to socialize with friends or ‘reward ourselves after a long day.

Amanda E. White is the founder of Therapy for Women and the author of two books, “Not Drinking Tonight” and “Not Drinking Tonight: the Workbook”. She empowers women to go from being confused about why we drink and unsure of how to stop, to having new tools, new understanding and feeling at peace with our choices.

I hope you enjoy this timeless classic from The Sober Edge vault!
