Alcohol is simply attractively packaged poison.
Ever wondered what it's like to break free from decades of drinking? In this episode of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, Steve Wilt, a financial services manager, shares his inspiring journey of quitting alcohol after 40 years. Steve's story is one of transformation—he went from glorifying alcohol in his industry to recognising it as attractively packaged poison. He now feels 20 years younger, sleeps better, has clearer skin, and enjoys a stronger relationship with his wife of 28 years.
If you've ever struggled with the cycle of stopping and starting drinking, Steve's experience might resonate with you. He reveals how he fell into heavier drinking during COVID-19 and the impact it had on his life and health. But it wasn't just willpower that helped him quit; he relied on neuroscience to rewire his mindset about alcohol. Steve explains how understanding the role of dopamine and serotonin was crucial in overcoming his addiction.
He also discusses the societal pressures that normalise drinking, referring to them as 'smiling assassins'—friends and family who offer drinks with good intentions but unknowingly contribute to the problem. Another key element in Steve's recovery was joining a like-minded community of high achievers who supported each other through their journeys. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt reflections, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to change their relationship with alcohol.
