I don't know how successful I'd have been if I didn't have my daughter.
Why would someone decide to take a year off from drinking? Stuart Butler's chat with his old uni mate, Mark Banks, on 'Henry Weston's Old Mate' offers some enlightening answers. Mark, a parent and weekend drinker, grew tired of losing his Sundays to hangovers. The football matches with friends were fun, but the aftermath wasn't.
He made the bold choice to step away from alcohol for a year, and in this episode, he shares the ups and downs of that journey. Mark talks candidly about how this decision impacted his family life, especially his role as a father. The conversation delves into the support he received and the positive changes he's experienced since making this shift.
Far from being a tale of addiction recovery, Mark's story is about a regular guy seeking a better balance in life. His reflections are both relatable and inspiring, showing that anyone can make meaningful changes. If you're curious about the benefits of taking a break from booze or need some motivation to make a positive change, this episode is a must-listen.
