In this episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick Fox sits down with Paul Fitzgerald, affectionately known as Fitzy, to discuss why he stopped choosing the easy option in life. Fitzy shares his heartfelt journey from a life overshadowed by alcohol and corporate stress to one filled with purpose and sobriety. Growing up in a big Irish family, Fitzy often felt like the odd one out, struggling to fit in.
His story takes a raw turn as he recounts his battle with alcohol, which led him to a point where he felt suicidal and weighed 20 stone. However, his tale is not one of despair but of transformation and resilience. By quitting alcohol, he shed six stone and found a new lease on life through personal development and helping others facing similar struggles. Fitzy's anecdotes are both relatable and inspiring, highlighting the importance of truth, self-awareness, and setting boundaries.
He emphasises the need for honesty with oneself and making decisions that align with long-term well-being rather than instant gratification. Through his journey, Fitzy discovered the simple joys of life that were once obscured by alcohol, such as the taste of food, the beauty of nature, and meaningful connections. His story is a testament to the power of change and the profound impact it can have on one's life.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking motivation to rethink their relationship with alcohol and embrace a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle.
