Episode Notes

Julie Fontes got tired of drinking one day so she just decided to stop. No programs, no rehab, just "uh yeah, I'll have a Diet Coke from now on." What do you do when you've taken what should be a minor behavioral modification and watched your entire community lose their minds over it? You write a book, of course. "Like A Normal Person" is Julie's debut novel where she describes a normal year of not drinking in a world that doesn't think that's so normal.
