Knowing kind of a trigger or a time to leave an event when maybe people are starting to tell you the story for the second time that you've already heard or when the shots start to come out- usually it's usually the time that I start to leave, but you can still turn up and go at those events and kind of enjoy them to a point.
Ever felt like you're drinking just because everyone else is? Matt Morris did, and he decided enough was enough. At 30, living in London, Matt chose to quit alcohol in July 2021. Despite the social pressure, especially among young professional men, he took back control of his life. In this episode of 'Recovery Plus Podcast', hosted by Dr. Mei-Li Hennen, Matt shares his journey from being a social drinker to embracing an alcohol-free lifestyle.
He opens up about the challenges he faced, like feeling out of place at social events and the struggle to find genuine support. But it's not all doom and gloom. Matt talks about the surprising joys of sobriety—like discovering new hobbies, enjoying travel without the haze of alcohol, and truly experiencing life. He even started 'Dry Spell UK', a blog that offers support and advice for those looking to ditch the drink.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to go against the grain and live alcohol-free, Matt's story is both inspiring and practical. Tune in for an honest conversation about the ups and downs of sobriety and how you too can reclaim your choice.
