I've definitely moved from a life which is really really poor quality to a pretty joyful life, not just joyful but I think it's productive and useful for others.
Ever wondered what life looks like after ditching alcohol for good? Patrick Fox sits down with Andrew Casselton, a psychotherapist who hasn't touched a drop in over 15 years. Andrew shares how he navigated the booze-soaked culture of UK universities and the toll it took on his productivity, behavior, and physical health. But his story doesn't end there. Through mindfulness and meditation, Andrew found a way to manage his anxiety and heal the pain that once drove him to drink.
