In this Gin and Juiced episode, Judi and Amanda talk about how Judi is no longer afraid of who she is without alcohol. And, they dive into the story and details behind Judi’s first drink since she started her alcohol-free journey. Judi shares her reasoning behind her decision, and what she learned from the experience. Plus, the ladies discuss how sobriety is a conduit for discovering your true self, the double standard surrounding alcohol and other drugs, and how our culture’s normalization of drinking is ruining lives.

Top 3 Quotes:
- While I’m bummed I had a drink, I’m proud that the work is working.
- I’m just over the normalization of it. It is ruining families, it is ruining lives. It is killing people. Third leading cause of death in the United States is alcohol.
- I have always thought I needed alcohol to be beautiful, to feel beautiful, to be confident…and what I’m finding, and what I’m so f*cking crystal clear on 201 days in, is that I don’t.
