I did a 6-month experiment.  I stopped drinking alcohol from 18th June to 18th December last year.  I wanted to see how different I would feel.  It was incredible and I learned so much about myself, energy levels and clarity of thinking.  Plus my business grew in the process

Here's what I learned from not drinking alcohol for 6 months

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:
