Speaker 2 (00:17):
The free Heart.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Now with the podcast. I cannot believe that Reece Walsh
is inspiring me with something. But after the win of
the Broncos last weekend, he was interviewed about what he
was going to do and he said this, you're ready
for a party. Look, I'm ready to enjoy the moment.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I haven't drank all year, so.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I think I need to soak it in, look after
myself and get around some leaders that could give me
a hug when I need a good boy. That was
him talking to Locke.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
He hasn't drunk all year.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Wow, I mean that says something about his performance this year,
Like he's been so good this year and he hasn't
had a drink all year. Does that mean he's not
drinking now.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Tonight at the ball.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Because it just it got me thinking. Look, to be fair,
we've just come off like ten days of absolute partying.
We had the Lions the first weekend of our holidays
long weekend Broncos, and I just sat back and I thought,
you know, maybe leading up to Christmas is a time
to think about not drinking.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Like, wait, you were.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Well just like I'm just having the conversation with a
group of friends. Well, I just what do you think
have you thought about that?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Is that something like at all or just like just
like a one month off Australian.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I'm not going to put you in a but here's
a conversation that I've been having in my own mind.
I'm like, well, maybe I should not drink my birthdays
in November, like that's about a month away. Maybe I
should not drink till Christmas. Like it doesn't take much
to google and see how good it is to have alcohol.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
My brother in law Rick stopped and just was I
think he did drive to lie and then he said, oh,
I'm I I'll just give it another month and another
month and now he I think he's had one beer
in the last eighteen months.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
He is he different?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Well, he was always very health in life, he serfs
every day or very health conscious anyway, so he's just
healthy and he says he just feels great.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Would you consider it?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, none, some time to think about thinking music.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I did eleven months.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Eleven months?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Was it footy related?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Was it to It was just at a point where
I couldn't say no, so you know, I'd drive somewhere
and I'll leave my car back up.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And I found after.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Doing that, it's easier now if I drive. If I
don't want to go somewhere and drink, I just don't.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And that's what I wanted to get to.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I wanted to be like, no, no, if I go
something I'm not, I'm not going to do it. I'm
not going to have any or I'll stick to my
one or two and drive home. I just I just
I got to a point where I just was.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Like, I'm just gonna have twenty.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
And just get yeah, get written off.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And that was just a constant thing for me.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Did it take you? This is my question though, because
we all do deals in our head, right, Like I
don't drink during the week, So I don't drink from
Monday through to Friday, just because to get up this
early and have alcohol as part of your world.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Is too tough.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
But then I might have a big weekend, and certainly
coming off the last two Grand finals, it was big weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, long weekend too, right.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And so then I think, well, maybe I should only
drink one night a week, like Tuesday Saturday. But does
it take you to do the absolute minimum, like take
yourself off alcohol, so take the pendulum far to one
side to then be able to regulate yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Wow, I was, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I did it because I knew I needed it, but
I was only going to do three months.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And then I did three months, and I'm like, I
want to go again. I want to go further.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
And I just kept going and going and going, and
then I got to a point where I was like,
all right.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So when did you break it?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Then?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
It was it was when I went I really need
to decide do I want to not drink every again
or do you want to go back and just see
if it worked?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And I was like, I can't. How did you play
better that year?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
You Did it make any difference?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
No? I just found I could control better.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
So yes, not drinking definitely helps when I don't think
you've got to grab on you know, your routine and
your body and what you need and if your diet,
you know, I think so many things come into play
until and I learned that young that you know, you
can't have a bad diet and drink every weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
You really can't. It doesn't work for that long.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
And after that my diet got way better and I
could actually start enjoy myself and weekends.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
You eat better when you don't drink it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Okay, so you're going.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
To what are you going to do? Kip.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Putting it on you.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I would never do that. I've done the same thing
where I've tried. My plan is not drink through the week,
but sometimes, I mean Thursday night football really threw a
spanner in that because come on today, it's basically the weekend.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I know, and then you work hard and you had
a beer.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
No I didn't yesterday. I was no, I was actually
too tired.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I think we should just continually have the conversation.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Chat.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
My one other thing, I'll be very quick, it was
don't make a decision if you know you're going to
break it either.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
That's why I'm talking about it because I hate going
I'm not going to drink alcohol and two days later
I actually have to do it or not.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
And that's the hardest part is actually sticking to it.
And it's the first three months they say it is
the hardest.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I remember my one of my old boss, he said
he wasn't going to drink wine through the weekend. I
remember him coming in on a Wednesday morning and he said,
and then.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I thought about it.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Last night.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I said, I don't want to live like this.
