This was me in June 2023. (Blue shirt) From the outside, life looked pretty good. We had just started our solar business. I was showing up for work and taking care of responsibilities. What most people didn't know was that I drank alone almost every day just to feel normal. I wasn't celebrating—I was escaping. This is me today. (this week actually/family pic) I'm not perfect, but I'm two years alcohol-free and far more present with my wife, my family, and my life. Quitting wasn't just about removing alcohol. I had to repair my body, learn why I was craving it, and stay connected with people who understood what I was going through. That combination changed everything. 4th of July I was drinking a Kava drink. lol. If you're just getting started—or you're wondering if life can actually get better without alcohol—I hope this community gives you hope. You're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. I'd love to hear where you are in your journey.

After years of daily drinking, Joe Barriere was given just 2 months to live at the age of 31. Fast forward 5+ years, and he has two children and a very full life. Today he's joining me live to get into the whole story. We'll talk through how he found Fit Recovery, what actually changed once he committed, and how he's been able to make the most out of life since then. If you're facing a health wake-up call of your own, or watching someone you love ignore theirs, be sure to tune in! The best way to watch this one is using the link below, at 4 PM EST: https://riverside.com/studio/chris-scotts-studio-xf6Xn To your health & freedom, Chris PS - We ran into some technical trouble streaming to YouTube last time, and I'm sorry if you tried to tune in and couldn't. We expect to have it fully sorted soon. For today, we're going live through Riverside instead, so you can watch right here: https://riverside.com/studio/chris-scotts-studio-xf6Xn

Reminder that Coach Tana and I go live today at 12:30 PM EST. We'll dig into the topics of conquering alcohol and of course, post-alcohol optimization! We'll also work in a few topics you've raised in here: Valerie's question about finding the root cause of cravings instead of reaching for a drink, staying motivated when a draining job runs you down, and Robbie's experience with the indifference and low motivation that come with PAWS. The best way to watch is on the Fit Recovery YouTube channel. Head over a few minutes before 12:30 and the live stream will be right at the top: https://www.youtube.com/fitrecovery This is not a live Q&A. But if there's something else you'd like us to cover, drop it in the comments below and we'll do our best to work it in! To your health & freedom, Chris

Quick reminder that tonight I'm sitting down live with JohnnyO, who dominated alcohol with Fit Recovery and has been living his best life for quite awhile now! Here's the live link to join us! https://riverside.com/studio/chris-scotts-studio-xf6Xn You're all welcome to watch in real time. We're going to get into some good stuff, and you can join us and participate in the chat. See you at 6! Chris

Something special just came together at the last minute, and I don't want you to miss it! Tomorrow (Tuesday, June 30th) I'm sitting down live with JohnnyO, a longtime member of our Fit Recovery community who has been alcohol-free for many years. Before that, he spent decades caught in relentless binge drinking cycles that kept pulling him back. We're going to get into how the tools he learned through Fit Recovery helped him get his life back, and what actually shifted once he stopped trying to out-willpower the cravings. So this week you get two conversations instead of one. JohnnyO joins me tomorrow at 6 PM EST to talk about what the road actually looks like from the inside, and Coach Tana comes on Wednesday at 12:30 to dig into what moves the needle day to day. (Like JohnnyO, Coach Tana also used Fit Recovery to conquer alcohol. Now nearly 9 years ago!) The join links will go in the Calendar section of this Skool group. Navigate to the top menu here in Skool, select Calendar, click on June 30th, and the link will be right there. These free sessions aren't a live Q&A, but if there's a topic you'd like us to cover, drop it in the comments below and we'll do our best to fold it in. To your health & freedom, Chris
