Success is never linear. You have to be able to adapt, and you have to be able to move forward even when you're not sure what's ahead.
Ever wondered what it takes to truly transform your relationship with alcohol? In this episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick Fox chats with Mike Field, better known as @mike_is_sober on Instagram. Mike opens up about his raw and real journey to sobriety, sharing the pivotal moments that led him to quit drinking and the challenges he faced along the way.
They dive into the concept of radical accountability, where Mike stresses the importance of being honest with yourself and others in the sober community. This episode isn’t just about giving up alcohol; it’s about redefining who you are without it. Mike talks about the process of grieving his old identity tied to drinking and how he found a new sense of self.
The conversation also touches on experimenting with 'gateway sobriety' practices like Dry January, and the lessons Mike learned as a fitness coach that helped him in his sober journey. He highlights the power of making a firm decision to quit and sticking to it, even when it feels uncomfortable. If you’re curious about how community support can make a difference or how to cope with the discomfort of change, this episode offers valuable insights.
