Summary
Nigel Jones is a hypnotherapist, life coach and author of Walking Back to Happiness. He is over five years alcohol-free — and in this conversation he shares a powerful insight that sits right at the heart of lasting change: 👉 Identity We talk about why so many people struggle to quit drinking…why willpower alone doesn’t work…and how shifting from “I’m a drinker trying to stop” to “I’m a non-drinker” can change everything. Nigel explained how repeated attempts to quit failed — until he made one crucial shift: changing his identity. Instead of seeing himself as “a drinker trying to stop,” he stepped fully into the identity of a non-drinker — and everything changed. Together, we explored: Why identity is the foundation of lasting sobriety How limiting beliefs keep us stuck in the drinking cycle The “tabletop technique” for dismantling false beliefs about alcohol Why alcohol promises what sobriety actually delivers How visualising your future self can accelerate change The role of environment, community, and “your tribe” in recovery The surprising physical benefits of quitting — including Nigel’s calculation that he’s saved 26 million heartbeats Nigel also shared some practical tools from hypnotherapy and coaching that can help you rewire your thinking and build a fulfilling alcohol-free life.
