When people want to stop drinking, a lot of times the first concern is "who will I be on the other side of this?"

I know I worried about that, and it was comforting to me when I learned that would not be the case.

When I interviewed my friend Elliott on my podcast last year, he also voiced that he was worried he'd be this boring person that "everyone thinks is sad."

Who the hell wants that?

I was one of those people who just saw a sliver of the world of recovery, reinforced by disempowering accounts the Instagram algorithm served up, and uninspiring, "straight out of a text book" Google search results.

I was completely misinformed about what would actually happen, which was that I would become more me than I'd ever been.

A lot of people think they need to drink to have a good time, or to be a good time.

That's learned behavior.

We're all born with the ability to be amazing, but we start hiding our brightness as we age and encounter other beings we worry we won't measure up to.

In Kabbalah they say the second someone enters the room, you are disconnected from the light because at that point, you concern yourself more with their opinion than your connection to source.

Alcohol is just an anesthetizer, but it bears a heavy cost.

Just to bust a myth, you will be fun when you stop drinking.

If you’re not what you consider to be “fun,” it’s because of a limiting belief you hold about yourself.

I talk about all of this and more in the episode.
