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.

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.
