I don't desire it now because I look at it for what it really is. So I help people change the way that they look at it. You do that, you change the relationship with alcohol, you change the relationship with yourself, which I also needed to do.
What happens when a high-functioning heavy drinker realizes that alcohol is the only thing standing between him and the life he truly wants? In this episode of 'Together S.O.B.E.R.', host Louise Barnett sits down with Chris Shatek, a former radio personality who transformed his life by quitting drinking. Chris's story is a powerful testament to the impact of self-awareness and determination in overcoming addiction.
Growing up around alcohol, Chris found himself turning to it more and more as an escape from his unfulfilling career and life. But on June 20th, 2021, he decided enough was enough and made the life-changing decision to become a non-drinker. Since then, Chris hasn't looked back. Now, he's a certified life and sober coach, helping others break free from alcohol and live the lives they were meant to live.
Based in Minneapolis with his wife Ashley and their young daughter Myla, Chris focuses on guiding high-functioning drinkers through their journey to sobriety, emphasizing honesty, vulnerability, and self-awareness. His approach creates a safe space for individuals to explore their relationship with alcohol without fear or judgment. Throughout the episode, Louise and Chris discuss the challenges and rewards of sobriety, the importance of addressing underlying issues, and the power of visualizing the consequences of drinking.
Chris's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding true fulfillment and helping others do the same. Tune in to hear Chris's inspiring journey and learn how you too can take control of your life and embrace an alcohol-free lifestyle.
