A Decade Long Win 🏆
I’ve just turned 33, and it has me reflecting on a decision I made 13 years ago to quit drinking altogether.
It wasn't a phase. It was a vow to never touch alcohol again.
As a teenager, I was involved in the usual drinking and partying scene. I recognised my own wiring early on, understanding that I had an addictive personality.
While I didn’t have a crisis, I could clearly see a path I didn't want to take.
When I announced my decision, people doubted me hard. But their skepticism became the fuel I needed to commit 100%.
My motivation was deepened by what I’d seen: the negative impact of alcohol on families I was close to, and those my mum supported through her work.
The ultimate shift happened when I met my now-wife. The thought of where my habits could lead filled me with dread. I wanted to build a future family I could make proud.
Alcohol was out. That feeling solidified completely when we had our first child.
Now, you might be reading this and worry about the consequences of a T-total life: Will I be boring? What about my friends and celebrations?
However, I can tell you that the mental clarity and wisdom that comes with resisting is incomparable.
The positive impact of a T-total life is undeniable and I can see that more and more people are waking up to it: More energy, less brain fog. Clear decisions, increased motivation. Zero hangovers and being truly authentic to yourself.
If you’re at a point where you need to change your relationship with alcohol, now is the best time to start.
