If alcohol were a stock, would you buy it?
Imagine if alcohol were a stock - would you invest in it? This intriguing episode of the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle podcast, hosted by Victoria English, uses the metaphor of a failing stock to explore the hidden costs of drinking. Victoria, with her background in science and years of coaching high achievers, shares how alcohol often masquerades as a reward while quietly draining your life of clarity, confidence, and health.
Through a compelling conversation with a client named Greg, who realised that alcohol's returns are 'fake' and risks 'enormous', Victoria illustrates how logic can outsmart emotion in the journey to sobriety. The episode introduces the concept of the 'sober bank', where each alcohol-free choice becomes a deposit in your life’s account. It's about making investments that yield real value, not just short-term highs.
Victoria also touches on the importance of support systems like Project 90, emphasising that overcoming alcohol isn't a solo mission. With her witty analogies and practical advice, she encourages you to rethink your relationship with alcohol and start investing in something that truly grows - your future self. If you're someone who values logic over emotion and strategy over shame, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on sobriety. So, why keep investing in something that promises diminishing returns?
