It's a big day for me as I have hit my original goal of 90 days booze free. I signed up with One Year No Beer and took on their 90 day challenge and with their support, guidance and the help of the massive community in their closed Facebook group, I've smashed that goal!
I feel amazing. Who knew that abstaining from alcohol for 3 months would have such a positive and life changing affect.
I feel so much healthier, well rested, enthusiastic and emotionally stable.
The destructive and unhealthy things I used to enjoy as a drinker are no longer a part of my life and have been replaced with development, learning, exercise, progressing in my career and most importantly for me, dedicated and 100% present time with my wife and daughter.
There's no sugar coating it, I'm a better Dad without alcohol in my life. But I'm not stopping there. I'm not ready to give up the incredible changes to my world, so the show must go on and I'll be taking you along with me as I continue to navigate this amazing life sans alcohol.
So my guest for this week is Scott Hardiman.
Scott is a coach that specialises in building confidence. He tells us about his journey of being alcohol free and we talk about Scott's past history battling anxiety for over 5 years and how this affected his perception of drinking.
We broach the subjects of anxiety and confidence and how we can tackle anxious thoughts and build confidence without the need to self medicate through alcohol.
Scott also explains and demonstrates that being more present and mindful can help alleviate anxious thoughts
One a side note we talk about my crippling fear of holiday entertainment teams and he teaches me how to question my negative self talk.
I'm excited to share this interview with you and I hope you enjoy it.
