I've had my partner and my few friends be like, 'Hey, we see a change in you.' That's been nice and affirming and encouraging to have the people closest to you go, 'Hey, we actually think that going from being like, 'You don't have a drinking problem - why do you need to stop drinking?' to be like, 'We can see that whatever you're doing, keep doing it' moving along that path, which has been awesome.
Imagine being at the top of your music career, with the world at your feet, and choosing to give up alcohol. That's exactly what Lach Bostock, Grammy-nominated producer and key member of Indie Pop Band Mansionair, did. At just 31, Lach realized that heavy drinking wasn't compatible with the grueling demands of constant touring and his overall well-being. Diagnosed with Crohn's disease, he also found that abstaining from alcohol helped manage his symptoms better.
In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', host Danni Carr sits down with Lach to discuss his brave decision to prioritize his mental and physical health over the conventional norms of the music industry. Lach opens up about the early days of sobriety, the hurdles he faced, and the unexpected benefits that came with his choice.
He candidly talks about the role of alcohol in the music scene and how he navigated social situations without it, often finding strength and support from his bandmates and loved ones. His story is a beacon for younger musicians who are also challenging the traditional rock-and-roll lifestyle. Throughout their chat, Lach shares how he found healthier ways to reward himself after a long day's work and the positive impact sobriety has had on his mental health.
This episode isn't just for musicians; it's for anyone grappling with the pressures of a high-stress environment while trying to maintain their well-being. Lach's journey offers valuable insights into the power of prioritizing oneself, even when it goes against the grain.
