Sara and Heather discuss the topic of rediscovering yourself after quitting drinking. They discuss how alcohol can cloud one's true identity, leading individuals to question who they are without it. They highlight the science behind why people feel low after quitting due to dopamine depletion and how this affects motivation and pleasure. The episode offers three approaches to finding oneself again, including understanding and managing the ego, breaking free from the comparison trap, and a unique exercise to help listeners identify their true selves. The hosts emphasize the ongoing nature of self-discovery and the importance of embracing this process, encouraging listeners to participate in the community and coaching for further guidance.   00:00 Welcome & Introduction to Finding Ourselves After Ditching Alcohol 01:40 The Journey of Self-Discovery Without Alcohol 03:32 Understanding the Impact of Alcohol on Identity and Health 10:04 Exploring the Ego in Our Alcohol-Free Lives 19:29 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Sobriety 19:31 Navigating Ego and Self-Reflection 21:17 Embracing Curiosity and Continuous Learning 23:27 Confronting Comparison and Cultivating Joy 28:58 Rediscovering Your True Self Through Reflection 37:37 Closing Thoughts and Community Engagement   Do this activity that Sara went through at the end of the episode to help find your true identity as a non-drinker.   Picture yourself all alone.What do you choose to do?
