Summary

Alex Charfen had his last drink 14 years ago. Not because he had 'a problem', but because he realized alcohol was a barrier to the life he wanted, a barrier to the contribution he was destined to make in this world. Alex gives us hope, showing us how to elevate ourselves, and our lives, to a higher level of importance than drinking. This episode is so empowering because once you see alcohol as a barrier to the life you want, it becomes exciting and freeing to make a change, rather than painful or tragic. Alex and Annie explore how our addictive natures just might be what's right with us, rather than what is wrong with us as well as how to find freedom and take a stand living an alcohol-free life in an alcohol-saturated society.

1:05.2	doing this more or less full time. And I've gotten, you know, this huge amount of momentum with
1:10.8	this message and of this podcast and other books and programs and all sorts of things are happening.
1:16.6	And where was I and all that? I really got swept up in it in a very, very intense way,
1:24.0	wanting to just pour out and give and give and give. And I met Alex and he really keyed into this.
1:29.1	We met at a marketing conference. I wrote that and he keyed into this almost immediately.
1:33.2	And I've since started working with Alex, like as a personal coach, which has been just incredible.
1:39.2	But I think Alex's gift is that he can come in and see somebody who wants to make a contribution,
1:46.0	who wants to change the world. And he's done so much research and now he's done the type of people
1:52.0	who have this kind of in them that he can say, okay, here's here's some framework, here's some
1:58.2	architecture to take care of yourself in your body and your psyche so that you can give back. And so
