Alex Charfen had his last drink 14 years ago. Not because he had 'a problem', but because he realized alcohol was a barrier to the life he wanted, a barrier to the contribution he was destined to make in this world. Alex gives us hope, showing us how to elevate ourselves, and our lives, to a higher level of importance than drinking. This episode is so empowering because once you see alcohol as a barrier to the life you want, it becomes exciting and freeing to make a change, rather than painful or tragic. Alex and Annie explore how our addictive natures just might be what's right with us, rather than what is wrong with us as well as how to find freedom and take a stand living an alcohol-free life in an alcohol-saturated society.
