Summary
Quit drinking is not about willpower. It is about the moment you realize you cannot keep living like this anymore. For over 25 years, alcohol was part of Paul’s life. From the outside, everything looked fine. But inside, the anxiety was building, the anger was growing, and he was slowly becoming someone he didn’t recognize. There was no rock bottom. Just a quiet realization that something had to change. In this episode, Paul shares what it really looks like to live that way for decades, the denial that keeps people stuck, and the moment he finally chose to quit drinking. If you have ever questioned your drinking or felt stuck in the cycle, this one will stay with you. Paul on Instagram: Click Here Get Support.
