When I stopped drinking, I expected life to feel empty.

What I didn’t expect was waking up and thinking…

“Hang on… what’s this?”

No dread.

No panic.

No trying to piece the night together.

Just lying there realising… I’m sober.

After years of chaos, normal felt strange.

Peace felt unfamiliar.

In this episode I talk about the feelings that come when the drink stops — the confusion, the quiet, and the moment you realise life might actually be different now.

There is a way out.

I’m living proof.
