Boston native turned Arizona resident, Tim shares his quietly powerful journey of stepping away from alcohol — without hitting rock bottom. In this episode, Tim opens up about what led him to cut back, and the unexpected benefits of a low-to-no alcohol lifestyle.
We talk social pressure, emotional clarity, physical health, and how to navigate parties when everyone else is drinking. This is a grounded, honest convo about rewriting your relationship with alcohol without the drama — and why that’s more radical than it sounds.
Topics we cover:
How to quit drinking without quitting your life
Emotional and physical wins from cutting back
Setting boundaries at social events
The subtle shame around sobriety — and how to push back
