12 Hours Drunk or One Spiritual Experience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever looked back at your drinking days through rose-tinted beer goggles and wondered whether you’re missing out? Even after more than a decade alcohol-free, I still occasionally experience those little moments that make me wonder. But what if the story our mind is telling us isn’t quite the full story? In this episode of The Alcohol-Free Advantage , I explore FOMO, nostalgia and those moments when alcohol can suddenly seem appealing again. I also share an experience that gave me a compl
Not Addicted To Alcohol, We're In The Middle Lane! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a long time, the conversation around alcohol felt incredibly black and white. But what about everyone who sits somewhere in between? Years ago, I started using the term “middle lane” to describe my own relationship with alcohol, and it went on to resonate with far more people than I could ever have imagined. In this episode, I explore what it really means to be a middle lane drinker, why our relationship with alcohol isn't always easy to define, and why there might be another way to think ab
Why You Have A Thinking Problem, Not A Drinking Problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For most people in what I call the middle lane , changing your relationship with alcohol isn't really about having a drinking problem. It's about having a thinking problem .

Brad Pitt Is Back On The Booze - My Views! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Brad Pitt is reportedly drinking again after around seven years of sobriety, and as you can imagine, everyone has an opinion. So, I thought I'd share mine. For me, this isn't about judging or shaming someone for making a personal choice. We're all wonderfully unique, and our relationship with alcohol is deeply personal. What works for one person might be completely wrong for another. But when someone as famous and influential as Brad changes their relationship with alcohol, it can have an impact
Why Moderators Are Liars (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Moderation sounds like the sensible middle ground. One or two drinks, stay in control, and carry on. But I think there's a problem with that story. For me, moderation means wanting more of something but using willpower to force yourself to have less. And when willpower inevitably runs low, one drink can become two, two can become five, and suddenly we're wondering what went wrong. In this episode, I unpack why I believe moderation creates more mental noise than freedom, how confirmation bias con
