Did you know athletes have a higher risk of developing drug and alcohol addiction? Retired athletes especially are more likely to turn to alcohol to cope with their recent loss of identity. I unfortunately am all too familiar with this because that was how I began to process what I went through when swimming ended for me. 
Today, I sit down with Alexandra Zauner who herself has gone on a 7.5 year journey of removing alcohol from her life. 
We discuss:
-The benefits of sobriety and how athletes, especially young ones, can begin to be more sober curious in their journey of learning to find who they are. 
-How to make friends without drinking
-What to do on the weekends
-How to date without alcohol being the main connector
