I think if you actually peel back the layers, you'll probably find that people move through those stages over a long period of time. And as someone that's been at this for 10 years, there is people that will come up to me and say, I've watched your stuff or been involved in your groups for three years, four years, five years, and then I cracked it. Or as I described right at the start of the podcast, they almost laugh and ignore me and go, oh, there's that guy banging on about bloody being alcohol free again. And they're quite happy with their relationship with alcohol. And now their life has changed.
Ever wondered what it's like to be caught between casual drinking and full-blown addiction? Andy Ramage knows this space all too well. Once a professional footballer, Andy's career was cut short by injury, leading him down a path where alcohol began to take center stage in his life. In this episode of 'Sober Motivation', hosted by Brad McLeod, Andy opens up about his unique journey through what he calls 'middle lane drinking'.
This isn't about hitting rock bottom; it's about recognizing the subtle yet significant impact alcohol can have, even when you're not a heavy drinker. Andy shares how he lifted the last rock in his life and decided to part ways with alcohol over a decade ago. His story is not just about quitting but about finding a new way to live, filled with clarity and purpose.
Whether you're curious about your own drinking habits or looking for inspiration to make a change, Andy's experiences offer valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of an alcohol-free life. Tune in to hear how awareness and support can make all the difference on this transformative journey.
