I guess there's a syndrome you call it the can't stops. Then it wouldn't have taken a hold of my life. You know, if you imagine a world without alcohol, you wouldn't have marriages breaking down for the reason of alcohol.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom with alcohol? In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol,' host Danni Carr chats with Josh Cunningham, the talented guitarist and songwriter from the Australian band The Waifs. Josh opens up about his decision to quit drinking at just 28 years old and how he's maintained sobriety for over two decades.
He talks candidly about his early struggles with 'the can't stops'—those nights of heavy drinking that ended in blackout and regret—and the pivotal moment when he decided enough was enough. Josh emphasizes the power of self-love and the importance of staying connected to something greater than oneself. He also shares a heartfelt story about reconciling an embarrassing drunk encounter with Danni herself, showcasing his down-to-earth nature and commitment to personal growth.
This conversation is packed with insights on addiction, the impact on family and relationships, and the journey to finding pride and respect in sobriety. It's a must-listen for anyone grappling with alcohol dependency or supporting someone who is. Tune in for a dose of inspiration and practical advice from someone who's been there and come out stronger.
