This is the 2nd installment of a 3-part series for the man who wants to inspect his relationship with alcohol.
Alcohol is an area of life where you can really drift if you don’t bring some intentionality to it.
So in the first episode we interviewed Pete Sousa, a TV News Anchor and ESPN Play by Play Sports analyst who hit rock bottom through alcohol abuse, entered AA and had to rebuild his life in his early 30s.
That was a look into the extreme and devastating effects of addictive alcohol abuse. And even though Bryan and I never had an addictive relationship with alcohol, through Pete’s story we could sure as hell see how we’d used booze to mask insecurities, numb fears and quite frankly…just fit in.
But I’ve been alcohol free for about 6 years now, and I’m never going back. There was never a moment where I declared I’m not drinking anymore. Alcohol just faded out of my life the more and more intentional I got, and the less and less alcohol aligned with where I was going.
Bryan still drinks socially, albeit far less regularly than he did even just a few years ago.
In this Episode
What an alcohol free life could feel like The friction you may experience when curtailing your drinking The relationships that may change as a result How to build a vibrant and fun social life without the social lubrication The impact on your body of going alcohol free
