Will on Living Life, Self Awareness and Reclaimed Mornings
In this episode Will shares how quitting alcohol has positively impacted his life even though he didn't really feel his drinking was a problem, he felt it could have headed that way when he found himself reaching for a beer because he 'needed' it. What's amazing about this conversation is how it highlights that you don't need to wait until alcohol is a problem before walking away from it and that spotting those initial signs of it not being good for you or becoming too much of a habit is a really good idea. Will shares how he has reclaimed his mornings and how his daily routine and journaling practice really supports his mental health.About Louisa:Louisa is a therapist based in the UK but she also works worldwide via zoom so if you’d like to find out more about working with her 1-2-1 to support you in sobriety or with any other areas such as anxiety, low mood or overthinking then head to www.louisaevans.com.Useful links:Instagram: @stepping_into_sobriety - for daily sober encouragementSubstack: Beyond Sobriety.- weekly articles, relaxation downloads and community, focussed on thriving in a sober life.Audible: Becoming a Sober Rebel - audiobook on how Louisa stepped into sobriety on her own terms.Don’t forget, as a Sober Rebel listener, you can get a 30% discount off the Sober Resilience Online Course using code RESILIENCE544 and you will also be able to buy one get one free on all hypnosis recordings on Louisa's website using code SOBERREBEL.
