You can't get too sober. But you can get too drunk.
What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Ash Grunwald and Danni Carr share their incredible eight-year journey of sobriety, packed with mind hacks to help you stay on track. Reflecting on their New Year's Day decision to quit alcohol, they discuss the challenges and triumphs they've faced. Ash and Danni talk about how their initial plan to break sobriety in Canada transformed into a lifelong commitment.
They explore the mental shifts required to maintain sobriety, like romanticising the positives of not drinking instead of the alcohol itself. Ash's candid insights into how sobriety has improved his career and personal life provide a refreshing perspective. He shares how ditching alcohol has brought emotional maturity and stability, enabling him to handle life's challenges better. Danni highlights the importance of honesty in recognising alcohol's control and the freedom found in admitting powerlessness over it.
The couple also discusses the benefits of non-alcoholic drinks in social settings and how sticking to a non-drinking identity can ease the journey. Their message is clear: sobriety is not just about abstaining from alcohol but embracing a life of growth and self-improvement. So, are you ready to handle it?
