In this episode of The No More Wasted Days Podcast, hosts Sara and Heather explore the concept of alcohol labels, particularly challenging the stigma of being called an alcoholic. They introduce alternative terms such as sober, alcohol-free, in recovery, and Cali sober, emphasizing personal choice in how one identifies their relationship with alcohol. They discuss the significance of recognizing alcohol use disorder (AUD) as a more modern and less stigmatizing term than alcoholic. They also touch on the fluidity of recovery and the openness to change how one identifies with their alcohol use over time.
