Imagine being trapped in a cycle of struggle that's rapidly spiralling out of control, only for you to find the strength to turn it around. That's the journey we explore in our conversation with Gav, a 44-year-old entrepreneur from Sydney, Australia. Gav gives us an unfiltered view into his battle with alcohol, his failed attempts to cut back, and his eventual decision to seek professional help. His story is a testament to how support and guidance can make a significant difference in reclaiming control over your life. This isn't just a story about overcoming dependency; it's about self-discovery, resilience, and the power of data in tracking positive change. Gav, who is a professional in the events industry, provides a fresh perspective on seeing alcohol as a choice, not a default, and the tremendous sense of control that comes with it. His commitment to daily meditation, which he attributes to his 105-day (and counting) alcohol-free journey, is genuinely inspiring and a testament to his transformation. Gav's story demonstrates it's possible to live an alcohol-free lifestyle, even in an industry that seemingly revolves around it. His holistic transformation, from a physical weight loss of 10 kilograms to improvements in personal relationships and business, is reflective of the far-reaching impacts that taking control has had on him. Tune in for an episode that's as insightful as it is inspiring. It's time to challenge the norms, take control, and break free from the shackles of compulsive behaviour.
