Kickstart Your Sobriety: Discovering Your 'Why' with Patrick Fox
When we think about stopping drinking, a lot of fear comes into play of what we are going to miss out on, fear about how we are going to be able to go out into a pub or a restaurant and not have a drink whilst everyone else is drinking around us.

Day 1 is all about finding your 'why'. Patrick dives into the importance of having a clear and compelling reason to quit drinking, versus the reasons that keep you tied to the bottle.
