I'm Janie Porter. I'm a life coach and writer, and 15 months ago, I decided to take a break from drinking.

Over several years, alcohol grew to become my only outlet for fun. Without alcohol, it simply wasn't fun! Before I knew it, my desire to drink had edged out all my other passions, hobbies and things I used to do to relax or have fun.  Now what?
