In this episode, we chat with Artie Martello, the host of the Thoughtfully Mindless podcast, where he shares his history of heavy drinking starting at age 14 and escalating in his 20s, leading to severe hangovers and decreased productivity.

He decided to quit drinking in 2019, facing several challenges in his sobriety journey, including attending social events and parties without alcohol. He emphasized the importance of finding empowerment in navigating these environments sober. The pandemic reinforced his commitment to sobriety, and meditation played a crucial role in maintaining his clear mindset. They also discuss the nuanced role of marijuana in Artie's life and the importance of mindfulness and genuine connections.
