Facing the Fear: James Swanwick on Why Quitting Alcohol is Worth It
Quitting drinking is scary, it is. It's a new you. This identity that you have had all these years will be replaced with a new identity, and that's hard to let go. Totally get it. But is that as scary as staying where you are?
Ever felt a knot in your stomach at the thought of quitting alcohol? You're not alone. In this episode of the 'Alcohol-Free Lifestyle' podcast, host James Swanwick dives into the fear and uncertainty that often accompany the decision to give up drinking. He gets real about how scary it can be to shed the identity that alcohol has shaped over the years and face the unknown of who you might become without it.
But here's the kicker: staying stuck in the cycle of drinking and mediocrity is even scarier.
