## Resource

Get ready to hear all the best bits in one place.... In Best of the Best 2025 , Patrick brings together the four most listened-to episodes of the year and pulls out the moments that resonated most for listeners in 2025. Released on Patrick’s 7th soberversary, this episode takes listeners on a journey through what changing your relationship with alcohol actually looks like in real life. Across these clips, you’ll hear the questions men ask at the start, what happens in the messy middle, and what shifts when alcohol is no longer running the show. There are real conversations, real stories, and practical insights that resonated more than anything else on the podcast this year. From understanding what happens when you stop drinking, to hearing from men who’ve stepped away from alcohol, to learning what it really means to protect your sobriety early on, this episode brings together the themes that mattered most. Whether you’re just starting to question your drinking, stuck in the on-off cycle, or finding your feet without alcohol, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and a reminder that you’re not broken and you’re not alone. This isn’t about perfection or white-knuckling your way through. It’s about awareness, self-trust, and deciding who you want to be moving forward. A powerful episode to reflect on the year that’s been and head into what’s next with a bit more honesty and intention.
