Good news: there are a lot of physical benefits that happen in the first month of quitting drinking. This can be very motivating to continue on with the journey. In this episode you’ll learn how alcohol negatively impacts the body and what to expect when you quit drinking. Towards the end I will also discuss things that take longer than a month to improve and things that may get worse before they get better.

What to listen to next:

E17: alcohol and the heart

E149: how alcohol affects the nervous system

E22: alcohol and anxiety

E157: brain fog & fatigue

E41: why sober people want so much sugar
