REFLECTION QUESTION

What alcohol-free beverages or rituals could you introduce into your life? And how can you incorporate this philosophy when you are traveling?

“If you want to completely lose your desire to drink, you have to find every nook and cranny of your brain and remove every single subconscious desire that you might have towards alcohol.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska

“Drinking alcohol is just like drinking alcohol the other time and the other time and the other time. You've done it before in your life, you've done it thousands of times. It's no different when you're in France or Italy or Japan.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska
