Facing Alcohol Denial: Patrick Fox's Journey to Sobriety

Sobriety has been one of my greatest achievements when I faced my fears around what it meant to be someone who didn't drink, when I stopped denying to myself what impact alcohol was having in my life and I opened up to the possibilities.
Denial can be a sneaky companion when it comes to our drinking habits. In this episode of 'The Alcohol ReThink Podcast', Patrick Fox takes a hard look at how denial can cloud our understanding of alcohol's impact on our lives. Patrick opens up about his own struggles, sharing how he used to brush off the negative effects of drinking, like stomach pains, as minor issues.
He recounts the moment he realized he was prioritizing alcohol over precious family time, leading to strained relationships. This episode is a candid exploration of the ways we might lie to ourselves about our drinking habits and the profound benefits of breaking through that denial. Patrick dives into the science behind addiction, discussing dopamine's role and how it can make quitting seem daunting.
But with honesty and openness, he explains, you can face your fears and start the journey towards sobriety. If you're grappling with your relationship with alcohol or just curious about the path to a healthier life, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt stories to guide you.
