It’s ok to indulge in a good TV series binge from time to time, as long as you do so mindfully. THE MINDFUL BINGE explores TV Shows that feature addiction, recovery, and mental illness as one of the main storylines.
Pop the popcorn, grab your fav alcohol-free bevies or make your favorite mocktail, dish out your favorite treats and sweets, and settle in for some good old-fashioned cinema entertainment. Need any ideas on what to drink? Head to our HAPPY EVERY HOUR section for our curated list of non-alcoholic beverage options.
