Greg Jennings: A Dad's Journey to Sobriety and Self-Improvement

Now, with where I'm at, I'll talk about how I'm feeling to someone else, you know. You know, you weren't recovering as good and the blackouts weren't just minutes, they were becoming hours.
Picture this: a Melbourne dad, Greg Jennings, at 14 months sober, sharing his raw and honest story. In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', Greg opens up about how his drinking was tearing at the fabric of his family life. His kids became his wake-up call, pushing him to take a year-long break from alcohol. But what tools did he use to get through it?
Greg dives into the strategies that not only helped him survive but also thrive, transforming him from the inside out. He talks about living by the GEM principles from 'The Resilience Project' by Hugh van Cuylenburg and how they played a crucial role in his journey. This episode is a goldmine for any dad questioning their relationship with alcohol. Greg’s candidness about the challenges and triumphs of sobriety is both relatable and inspiring.
He shares practical advice on setting goals, practicing mindfulness, and the power of sharing your story. His message is clear: 'The more people that share their story, the more people who are on the verge of doing it will think: okay, I'm going to give it a crack'. Tune in to hear Greg's story and maybe find a spark of inspiration for your own journey.
