Well done mate 1 year in is big progress. Im a bodybuilder so only really have a drink an get on it about every 3 or 4 months, but every time i do i struggle for a week or so after with major depression. Ive now decided that even my little seshes are no longer worth what i go through so ive finally decided to go fully sober and just live a clean healthy life.
What an inspiration you are sir, keep on spreading the message. I suffered from alcohol, drugs and gambling abuse in a job I hated. Hiding every day with a fake smile was the hardest lying to family and friends that everything was under control. 5 years ago I moved to Australia, for that much needed break and today I find myself 10 months completely sober, striving in a trade I never thought I'd be good enough for and booked a wedding with my amazing finance and much more. To anyone struggling , I hear you. Don't stop fighting. Take the hardest road because it will be the most rewarding one you ever take 💯
Hello Dan and John. Never been a gear head. Just at weekends after work. Are used to get 12 cans on a Friday and have to drink them then wake up Saturday with a fuzzy head. Got three daughters that wanted to go to the park or go swimming but just going through the motions and coming back from swimming etc. Going to the shop on a Saturday and get 15 cans because it’s a Saturday I think to drink all them at home again waking up on a Sunday feeling like poo. Then doing something again, going through the motions on the Sunday with the kids and the Mrs and going to work on a Monday feeling like shit Monday Tuesday not going to gym eating rubbish food and it’s a vicious circle. I’m now 288 days without a drop, and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made thanks to listening to the podcast and watching Dan for many many years on social media. So I will get up early in the morning walk. I’m doing a fundraising thing at the moment from my oldest daughter and all the other top one diabetics well I’ve got to walk 400,000 steps in 40 days so there’s a bit of exercise there too. Also go to the gym three or four times a week. Just wanna say a big thank you to you and John and Kirk and all the guests that you’ve had on over the past since you’ve been doing the podcast really appreciate it thank you very much.
