In this episode I chat with Greg from the Sunny Coast in Australia. Greg was an almost every day drinker, the life of the party and probably the drunkest guy at the party. We talked about his relationship with alcohol and how at 54 years of age he decided it was time to change. That change has had a huge impact on physical health, his relationship with his wife, his daughter and even his heavy drinking buddies who have been able to open up to Greg about their own desires to ditch the booze. Greg had tried many times to quit in the past, and finally through educating himself with books and podcasts, finally something clicked and has been able to make it stick. His message is clear "never stop quitting".
The books Greg mentioned are
Ryan Holiday - The Daily Stoic
The Body - Bill Bryson
