What Are We Going to Do Instead of Drinking? | Part 1

What are we going to do instead of drinking?

In this Radio Revisited edition of Guard Your Heart & Sharpen Your Iron, Natasha Elaine revisits a candid 2025 conversation with fitness professional David A. Miller about alcohol, social pressure, faith, and fitness.

During sixteen alcohol-free weeks while training with David, Natasha recognized how closely drinking had been connected to celebrations, dining, relationships, and having fun. She also saw how her choices supported the results she was building in the gym.

David offers practical guidance for protecting your fitness goals, preparing for alcohol-centered social settings, handling pressure, and deciding what you will do before temptation makes the decision for you.

Returning to the conversation one year later, Natasha reflects on the repeated choices that transformed her relationship with alcohol and created a life where drinking occupies very little space.

• How alcohol can interfere with fitness progress
• Why drinking becomes connected to fun and celebration
