Gray Area Drinking | Jolene Park | TEDxCrestmoorParkWomen

  • Not Synced
  • Not Synced
    So I still remember the exact spot
  • Not Synced
    on the highway where I was driving.
  • Not Synced
    I think I remember it so vividly because
  • Not Synced
    I was having one of the most important
  • Not Synced
    conversations that I’ve ever had with
  • Not Synced
    myself. In that moment in my car, I knew
  • Not Synced
    in my bones, I wouldn’t drink alcohol
  • Not Synced
    again. So you might be thinking what was
  • Not Synced
    the rock bottom that brought me to that
  • Not Synced
    point? And the answer is …
  • Not Synced
    there wasn’t one! You see, I was a
  • Not Synced
    gray area drinker and I drank between two
  • Not Synced
    extremes. I wasn’t an "end stage, lose
  • Not Synced
    everything" kind of drinker,
  • Not Synced
    not by a long shot. If you would have
  • Not Synced
    asked my friends and family if they
  • Not Synced
    thought I had a drinking problem they
  • Not Synced
    have said, “of course not”. But I also
  • Not Synced
    wasn’t an "every now and again drinker"
  • Not Synced
    who would have a glass of champagne
  • Not Synced
    for example at the wedding and then not
  • Not Synced
    drink again for weeks. I didn’t fall into
  • Not Synced
    either one of those drinking categories
  • Not Synced
    or drinking extremes. And maybe you
  • Not Synced
    can identify?
  • Not Synced
    As a nutritionist who has worked in
  • Not Synced
    corporate wellness since 2004,
  • Not Synced
    I functioned really well. I knew how
  • Not Synced
    to eat well, I worked out on a regular
  • Not Synced
    basis and I loved to read and study
  • Not Synced
    everything health and wellness.
