Alcohol is an 'I don't care' drug, meaning it can make someone do something they will not do if not under its influence.
Ever wondered how sobriety can transform your life, both mentally and physically? In this episode of 'Alternatives to AA', Josh Robinson chats with his friend Brian, who has been sober for a month and a half. Brian's journey isn't just about giving up alcohol; it's about rediscovering his strength and finding new ways to thrive. A competitive powerlifter, Brian recently achieved a lifetime goal of squatting 500 lbs at a USAPL meet in Philadelphia.
He attributes much of his success to his sober lifestyle, which has given him the energy and motivation to push his limits. But Brian's story goes beyond the gym. He opens up about the various aspects of his life that have improved since he stopped drinking, including his relationships and overall well-being. Alcohol, as Brian puts it, is an 'I don't care' drug that can make you do things you wouldn't normally do.
He shares personal anecdotes about the temporary courage alcohol gave him, like asking a girl out at a bar, only to wake up with no memory of the night before. Josh and Brian also discuss the importance of self-care in maintaining sobriety. From getting enough rest to staying hydrated and eating well, these small steps can make a big difference. Brian explains how alcohol can dehydrate you and disrupt your sleep, leading to other health issues.
Throughout their conversation, Brian's journey serves as a powerful reminder that overcoming addiction is possible with dedication and self-care. His story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about embracing a healthier, more fulfilling life. If you're looking for inspiration to make positive changes in your life, this episode is a must-listen.
