“Be the life of the party when you're sober and then you can see, dance and sing and celebrate with people and realize that it's not the alcohol that's doing it. It's the great weddings and celebrations that people love doing. Give alcohol the benefit of all the good times in our lives too much credit. Tune in to Tribe Sober's podcast to hear more from Brad and find inspiration for your own journey.”
Brad's story is one that many can relate to. In this episode of 'Tribe Sober', he opens up about his struggles with both alcohol and weight, and how these battles were intertwined. Brad's journey began in his twenties when he gained significant weight and sought medical help. His psychologist and nutritionist suggested a gastric bypass, a procedure that changed his life but came with a warning: be cautious with alcohol, as food addiction could morph into alcoholism.
Brad didn't heed the warning immediately and found himself drinking too much. Realizing the need for change, he took a year off from alcohol, which made him feel fantastic. He even managed to drink moderately on special occasions without slipping back into old habits. This episode dives deep into Brad's experience, from the moment he heard about Tribe Sober while picking up medication at a chemist, to finding a community that supported his journey towards a healthier life.
Listeners will hear about the crossover between food and alcohol addictions and the importance of a support system in overcoming such challenges. Brad's candid discussion about his struggles and triumphs offers hope and practical insights for anyone grappling with similar issues. His story is not just about quitting drinking; it's about reclaiming health and finding a supportive community that makes the journey worthwhile.
