I didn't quit because of a dramatic downfall—I simply realised that life felt better without booze
Imagine deciding to give up alcohol not because you hit rock bottom, but simply because life felt better without it. That's exactly what Peter West, the creative mind behind the popular meme account I Am Thirty AF, shares in this episode of Unbottled Potential. Hosted by Amanda Kuda, this conversation is all about Peter's journey to an alcohol-free life and how it transformed his personal and professional world.
Peter talks about the cultural pressures to drink, navigating friendships and social events while sober, and how choosing to quit drinking has made him feel more present and in control. You'll hear about his experience with the supportive sober community on Threads and the surprising number of people who are choosing sobriety for themselves. Peter also discusses the evolution of his content creation at AF Media, moving away from alcohol-centric humour to more mindful messages.
If you're curious about how an alcohol-free lifestyle can open up new possibilities and lead to a more intentional life, this episode is a must-listen. It might just be the permission slip you've been waiting for to explore a life beyond booze.
