In this episode of Into The Nothing, I chat with my first ever coach Tom Cartwright.

Tom shares his story of going from being in his early twenties - addicted to alcohol and gambling. To today, where he's living his dream life on the coast with his beautiful wife, two daughters, whilst working two days a week helping people around the world to drink less and feel fresh.

We chat about so many things.
- Obviously addiction - the need to feel something, so we don't have to feel something else. (So we don't have to feel and deal with ourselves.)
- How the brain would rather an unknown pain than a known pleasure. 
- How we self sabotage through knowing.
- Power of prioritisation. What do you actually want to prioritise?
- Safety mechanisms - what are the reasons we're saying we can't do something. 
- Recipe for success - internal emotional work plus massive action. Mixing the inner-worlds with the outer. 
- How to overcomes addictive behaviours that are holding you back. 

And so much more.

I so enjoy Tom's approach in helping people live a life they're proud of. He's super experienced in deleting resistance. And offers a refreshing (non-traditional) approach to addictive behaviour with alcohol.

"If we're prepared to take a high level of responsibility, life is really simple." Tom Cartwright.
