Doug Gelling's Journey: From Alcohol Dependence to Mindful Living

Episode Overview

  • Doug's transformative journey rooted in discipline, fitness, and spirituality
  • Insights into leading a self-led life and empowering others to do the same
  • Challenges in embracing an alcohol-free lifestyle and overcoming societal paradigms
  • Impact of sobriety on health, relationships, and mental well-being
  • Revelations on coping mechanisms, cultural norms, and creating a meaningful, alcohol-free existence
I refuse to be anonymous. I am alcohol-free as f***, and I spend every single moment of my life helping other people be the same and live a self-led life.
What happens when you decide to rewrite the script of your life? For Doug Gelling, it meant saying goodbye to alcohol in 2016 and embarking on a transformative journey. In this episode, host Lee Davy sits down with Doug, a remarkable STRIVER who didn't wait for rock bottom to make a change. Doug realized his life, clouded by alcohol dependence, was unsustainable and was affecting his health and relationships.
Since then, he's embraced a life of discipline, fitness, spirituality, and a commitment to serving others. Doug's approach is deeply rooted in mindfulness and Stoicism, even though he doesn’t identify as a Buddhist. His daily routines and philosophical outlook have been the backbone of his remarkable turnaround. Inspired by Dr. BJ Miller's mantra, 'Life is precious because it ends', Doug shares how each day has become a gift he refuses to waste.
This conversation is filled with moments of introspection, compassion, and wisdom, making it an inspiring listen for anyone curious about the power of living an alcohol-free life.
