"What you enjoy in a drink is not the drink itself, but the ending of the irritation of wanting that drink." ~ Allen Carr

In episode 193 of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick is joined by a long-time listener and now friend of the show, Quint.

Originally from France and now living in the UK, Quint shares his powerful journey from being a weekend wine drinker to living a fully alcohol-free life.

You'll hear Quint share how deeply ingrained alcohol is in French and broader Western culture, why willpower alone isn’t the answer, and what truly changes when you start rethinking your relationship with alcohol.

Quint talks openly about the moment he realised alcohol was holding him back, how this podcast played a key role in his transformation, and the tools and books that supported his journey.

Whether you're sober curious, cutting down, or committed to living without alcohol, this episode offers honest insights, lived experience, and some valuable mindset shifts to help you along the way.
