How Society Normalizes Alcohol (And Why I Stopped Playing Along)
►► Download FREE Guide → How I lost 2 lbs a week as an athlete with asthma: https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide
Quitting alcohol is hard not because you are weak, but because society has built a world where drinking is the norm. In this episode of the Athlete with Asthma Show, I share why I stopped playing along with society’s rules and how changing my environment helped me remove alcohol from my life.
I break down how alcohol is promoted, normalized, and ingrained in our culture, why willpower alone isn't enough, and how I went from binge drinking in college to becoming a high-performing ultra endurance athlete who drinks only once or twice a year. I also walk you through the science, the health risks, and the deeper benefits of sobriety that have transformed every part of my life.
If you’re ready to rethink your relationship with alcohol and step into the healthiest, strongest version of yourself, this episode will give you the clarity and motivation you need.
