At STRIVE, we help people who don’t drink alcohol to live consciously. A tool we use is to consider our actions through the lens of parallel growth. Put simply, what is it about this moment that contains elements of development we can use in other areas of our lives? 
 
An example is running. 
 
If you were to run today, what is it about the act of running, how you feel while running, what thoughts come to mind, your environment, and the weather that you can transfer into another area of your life, such as your continuing and ever-evolving sobriety?
 
Here are nine parallels between running and being someone who doesn’t drink alcohol.
 
Strive on!

On Being AFAF: A Conversation With Doug Gelling

Welcome to Episode 3 of The AFAF Shift! This poignant episode dives deep into the turbulent waters of adolescence—a time fraught with identity crises, unrequited love, and the insidious onset of alcohol reliance. Through the lens of Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages, host Lee Davy revisits his teenage years to unravel the 'Liquid Lie' society often tells us, where alcohol becomes a damaging rite of passage. Tune in for a captivating blend of personal storytelling and psychological insight that reveals how these formative years set the stage for later relationship dynamics, addictive behaviours, and the perpetual quest for external validation. Lee also opens up about his transformational journey and offers actionable steps for developing a more conscious, SELF-led life. Don't miss this episode; it promises to be as impactful as it is revealing. See you on the other side of the 'AFAF Shift'!
