Ep 16 - Alcohol and Stress by Andrew Bridgewater, Chartered Psychologist & Kim Wymer - www.TheMentalHealthCoach.net

Andrew Bridgewater and Kim Wymer share 5 things you must know about alcohol and stress to lead a happier and healthier life.

1. You can feel socially confident without alcohol and don't ever need alcohol to be happy
2. It looks like alcohol can relieve stress but it's truly a depressant and people who drink more alcohol are far more prone to depression and anxiety
3. Take a week off alcohol and see how powerful a substance it is by reflecting on the changes in your mind and body
4. None of us knows where the boundary between moderate drinking and alcoholism is and it's different for everyone
5. Vaccines are helpful but we can't outsource our health to a vaccine. As a toxin, alcohol isn't supporting your natural immune system

I recorded this excellent piece with Kim Wymer, one of my Mood & Food course students recently.  Kim previously had serious alcohol problems and was very open in talking about them.  For more information, visit our websites at www.KimWymer.com and www.TheMentalHealthCoach.net
