Summary
Andy Ramage had the boyhood dream to be a professional footballer and although that did come true his playing career was cut short due to an injury. As he grew older he noticed alcohol playing a bigger and bigger role in his life. At first, Andy began exploring areas of his life he would like to change but was not getting the results he wanted. The last rock he lifted and explored was saying goodbye to alcohol. Andy discovered he was in the middle lane of the drinking spectrum, not an alcoholic but not a non-drinker. With 10+ years of alcohol-free living, Andy shares his story on the Sober Motivation podcast.
