Barry is originally from Cavan and now living in Athlone. He is 18 months off the booze. He performs as the formidable Drag Artist Tess Tickles. Barry recalls how moving to London really accelerated his drinking and how he came to a point 18 months ago where he was DONE WITH BOOZE. We chat about how he navigates being a gay man who doesn't drink in a notoriously alcohol-fuelled scene. Since giving up alcohol he is happier than he has ever been and has seen his potential and ambition increase exponentially.

I'm Olivia Farrelly and I am an Alcohol-Free Mentor. Every episode, I interview people who have removed alcohol from their lives. We discuss how alcohol made their lives better, how it made their lives worse, any tips they've learned along the way and what advice they would give to somebody else looking to live their lives with No More Booze.&nbsp; This podcast is not just about sobriety; it's about rewriting the script on alcohol culture in this extremely alcohol centric world that we live in. Becoming alcohol free invloves learning to untangle from this culture and how to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth and the pursuit of genuine happiness.&nbsp; As an alcohol-free mentor, I can provide guidance, support and advice to anyone who is seeking to live their life free from alcohol. I use specific tools to enhance motivation to make positive life choices regarding alcohol use. I help people identity their goals and they make specific changes accordingly. I also provide accountability to those seeking to make these changes. I show people ways to develop new, healthier coping mechanisms and make more positive, life-affirming life choices.
