Finding Balance: Craig Spear on Tackling Overeating and Over-Drinking

It's all about changing that story, changing that script that you've got about yourself, because you know, like in my notes here, I'm thinking, that when we self-sabotage is because we're trying to prove some kind of unconscious belief that we have about ourselves.
Ever wondered how your eating habits might mirror your drinking patterns? In this episode of 'The Alcohol ReThink Podcast', host Patrick Fox sits down with Craig Spear, the mastermind behind The Spear Method. Craig specializes in helping men over 40 prioritize their health, lose weight, and keep it off for good. Together, they dive into the striking similarities between overeating and over-drinking, offering practical advice on how to change your relationship with both.
Craig shares his insights on how all-or-nothing thinking can ramp up your cravings and why hitting rock bottom might be the wake-up call you need. They discuss the importance of planning, self-compassion, and making empowered decisions. Craig introduces his '3 P’s of Sobriety'—pain, planning, and purpose—and emphasizes the transformative power of changing your personal narrative.
One standout moment is when Craig quotes Tony Robbins, saying, 'Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change'. It's a powerful reminder that transformation often begins with discomfort. Craig also highlights the importance of celebrating small wins and practicing radical acceptance to foster hope and resilience. If you're curious about how to break free from unhealthy patterns with food and alcohol, this episode is packed with valuable tips and heartfelt advice.
