Summary

Sam’s cravings for alcohol always seemed to win when it came up against his heavy OCD or anxiety. But through the struggle, he could hear the echoes of his true self calling for a way out. Find out how he escaped the constant yo-yo of quitting and starting drinking again through writing, traveling and spiritual discovery. Can you believe it's already February? What happened to January? It's gone already, and with it a lot of people's New Year's resolutions. Maybe you started off the year wanting to drink less or nothing at all, but you find yourself still drinking. If that's you, you're not alone. But maybe now you're ready to take back control. The answer's actually not in restriction or deprivation and you don't need more willpower. I'm here to tell you that you can break your patterns and habits and finally feel liberated from alcohol. You can return to a life where alcohol is small and irrelevant for you. A total non-issue, where you can take it or leave it. The first step is joining us for a very special and completely FREE 5-day virtual event starting February 7th. We'll be teaching you exactly how to take back control of your drinking even if your New Year's resolutions haven't stuck. Save your spot today at controlalcohollive.com. We can't wait to see you there! And as always, rate, review and subscribe to this podcast as it truly helps the message reach somebody who might need to hear it today.
