4 Years Sober
4 years ago I made the decision to quit drinking, for good.
It was honestly the best decision I’ve ever made (apart from marrying my beautiful wife 😉).
Even just one drink was affecting affect my sleep, my health and my quality of life.
I had a line in the sand moment travelling through Tassie with my family 4 years ago.
We were driving through Cradle Mountain in the most picturesque scenery.
And I was hungover after 2 beers with my father in law.
The family was laughing, singing along to music.
And I was tired, grumpy and snapping at everyone.
Not the version of myself I was proud of or who I wanted to be at all.
So in that moment I made a decision.
Not one more drink – ever.
And I haven’t since.
It was incredibly hard at first.
My mates didn’t know how to engage with me.
They (and I) felt awkward that they were drinking and I wasn’t.
And it made me realise that I’d probably kept up drinking for longer than I wanted…
…just to fit in.
Now don’t misconstrue my message here.
This isn’t a judgement on anyone who likes to have a drink.
I used to love it too.
(In fact I drank enough at college, uni and share housing for multiple lifetimes 😅).
But when you keep doing something because you feel like you should to fit in.
Rather than because you genuinely want to.
That’s when it becomes a problem.
So I drew a line in the sand and I haven’t looked back.
My health, my relationships, my sleep, my quality of life and my business are better than they’ve ever been.
At the end of the day - life is short.
You do you and you do the things that make you feel good.
I’m sharing my story in case it helps you.
To your success,
Josh
