Eric on the World - A podcast by Eric Barry

After 123 boring days, I decided to give up giving up alcohol. I've taken a booze break at the beginning of the last 4 years, which usually ends when I end up traveling. That didn't happen this time as I was traveling to Turkey which was in lockdown, had very few tourists for socializing, and as a "Muslim light" country doesn't have a massive drinking culture. So in that respect, this is one of the easiest goes I've had of it. But being back in the U.S. and now with friends in the Bay Area, the time felt right. I discuss how it went down, as well as my relationship to alcohol, and how my inability to do many things in moderation has affected that, as well as my eating habits. It's a lifelong struggle, and I'm just trying to find the healthiest approach to it both for my body and mind. Please be sure to subscribe to the show's Youtube page!
