Why I Quit Alcohol, How I Did It And How My Life Has Changed

<p>What's possible when you make a decision? </p> <p>What becomes possible and available to you and for you. </p> <p>Welcome back to another bonus episode in this series about decisions.</p> <p>Today I'm talking to Magda, an old school friend that I've not seen for 30 years.</p> <p>However, after seeing a FB post last year, where she was celebrating not drinking for 2 years, I was compelled to reach out. </p> <p>Her post about becoming sobert was so raw and compelling that I wanted to know more. </p> <p>What had made her choose sobreity?</p> <p>How had she navigated the journey, and were there times when she considered changing her mind? </p> <p>And how was her life different now? How did she manage the things that had been a trigger for her drinking in the first place?</p> <p>What I found really interesting was that Magda didn't class herself as an alcoholic - it was more of a realisation about how it influenced her decisions - which we talk about in depth in this podcast. </p> <p>The reason I wanted to bring this conversation to you today was because as business owners, we manage a lot of stress, anxiety, uncertainty and overwhelm. And it's a human reaction to NOT want to feel these things. </p> <p>Alcohol offers us that release. </p> <p>It's also highly glamorised AND YET, with an increasing number of Alcohol Free products on the market, celebrities choosing sobriety and literature to help us live the alcohol free life.. and wanted to speak to someone who had taken the choice and is living proof of that decision. </p> <p>So get ready - this is a good one!!</p>
