Imagine building your entire identity around alcohol, only to realize that it's holding you back from living your best life. That's the story of Luc Zoratto, an alcohol-free life coach and marathon runner from Toronto, Canada. In this episode of 'Behind The Smile', Ash Butterss sits down with Luc to talk about his journey from struggling with alcohol to embracing sobriety and discovering a passion for running.
Luc opens up about his years of trying to moderate his drinking, constantly letting people down, and even hiding his alcohol use from his therapist. The turning point came on New Year's Eve 2016, when Luc decided enough was enough. He stopped drinking and started a new chapter in his life, though he kept his sobriety a secret for the first five years. Today, Luc proudly shares his story and helps others find fulfillment in an alcohol-free life.
In 2019, he took up running and set a goal to run a marathon. This new hobby not only gave him discipline but also a sense of connection and growth that continues to support his recovery. Throughout their conversation, Ash and Luc discuss the impact of sobriety on personal relationships, the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and the value of having a supportive community.
Luc's insights and advice offer hope and inspiration to anyone seeking recovery, proving that it's never too late to transform your life.
