Quitting alcohol doesn't remove the challenges of life, but it gives you the space to be able to deal with it instead of going down the same old path of soothing yourself with alcohol and all of the shit that comes from doing that.
Imagine thinking you could never live without alcohol, only to find that life is better than you ever imagined once you quit. That's Matt's story. In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', host Danni Carr catches up with Matt from Perth, a graduate of the HIQA 3-month challenge who has been sober for just over a year. Matt shares his journey from heavy binge drinking and frequent blackouts to thriving in sobriety.
He opens up about the shame, guilt, and anxiety that used to follow his drinking episodes and how he's managed to turn his life around. Matt discusses the tools and practices that have been crucial in his journey, such as playing the tape backward to remember his worst binges, cultivating self-awareness, and maintaining a gratitude practice.
He also shares the books that have helped him along the way, including 'The Untethered Soul' by Michael Singer and 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. The conversation isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding freedom and self-discovery in sobriety. Matt and Danni talk about navigating social situations without alcohol and the surprising benefits of an alcohol-free life. Matt's story is a testament to the transformative power of sobriety and the importance of self-awareness and gratitude.
If you're curious about what life could be like without alcohol or need some inspiration to stay on your sober path, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in to hear Matt's incredible journey and discover how he turned his life around.
