Raj Pandher's Journey: From Binge Drinking to Enjoying Life Sober
I fiercely protect this thing as far as like, look, we're just out having fun. And is it really a big deal if I get too drunk?
Imagine being a software developer with a growing family, living in California, and realizing your drinking habits are tearing your life apart. That's the story of Raj Pandher, a 42-year-old father who knew he had to make a change. In this episode of the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle podcast, Raj opens up about his struggle with alcohol and how it was affecting his marriage and overall happiness.
For years, Raj turned to straight bourbon, whiskey, and scotch to make social events more fun, often finding himself the last one to leave. But the fun came at a cost—his relationship with his wife was deteriorating, and he didn't feel good about himself. Joining the Project 90 program was a game-changer for Raj.
After 130 days of being alcohol-free, he has repaired his marriage and discovered that he can enjoy San Francisco Giants baseball games without a drink in hand. Raj shares how he shifted his mindset and found a supportive community that helped him navigate this journey. His story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about reclaiming joy and building a healthier, happier life.
Whether you're struggling with alcohol yourself or supporting someone who is, Raj's story offers hope and practical insights into the benefits of an alcohol-free lifestyle.
