What happens when a man finally decides to stop running from himself and face his drinking head-on?

In episode 221 of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick sits down with Shaun from Australia, a long-time listener who reached out to share his incredible journey of recovery and growth.

From the chaos of daily drinking to the calm of mindful living, Sean opens up about the realities of his drinking, the courage it took to check himself into rehab, and the unexpected freedom that followed.

They discuss what life is really like on the other side of alcohol the clarity, connection, and peace that come with sobriety, and how simple joys like reading, walking in nature, and being present with family become profoundly meaningful. Shaun shares the tools that helped him along the way, from meditation and nutrition to podcasts, support networks, and the power of routine.

In this episode you'll hear:

• What led Shaun to finally seek help and how rehab changed everything

• Why sobriety often reveals joy in the small things

• How to build a toolkit for lasting change

• The importance of support networks and self-care

• What being “radically human” means after alcohol

Questions to reflect on:
- What might change if alcohol wasn’t running the show anymore?
- How would you love to wake up and start your day?
- What if freedom isn’t about giving something up, but about getting something back?

If you’re ready to rethink alcohol, feel inspired by Shaun’s story, and want to see what’s truly possible when you stop drinking, this is one you won’t want to miss.
