The career, the money, the title. And he still felt five out of ten.</p><p>That's where this conversation starts. Not at a rock bottom. At a slow grinding epiphany in a successful broker's life that he wasn't actually well, just busy.</p><p>Andy walks Dave through quitting drinking nine years ago, the social pressure that nearly stopped him, and the moment his business grew seven times bigger in half the time because he was finally consistent. Then they go deeper. Into emotional sobriety. Into who you become when you peel off the version of yourself that drinking built. Into why grey area drinking might be the most overlooked story in recovery.</p><p>This one is for anyone who reads \"I'm not that bad\" and quietly knows they want more from life than middle lane.</p><p><br></p><p>If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/</a></p><p>or via my website&nbsp;<a href=\"https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/</a></p><p>Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice for Andy.</p><p><a href=\"http://www.andyramage.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.andyramage.com</a></p><p><a href=\"http://www.aretewaycoach.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.aretewaycoach.com</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/AndyRamageOfficial\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.facebook.com/AndyRamageOfficial</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/andyramageofficial/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/andyramageofficial/</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyramage/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyramage/</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services</a></p><p><a href=\"https://nacoa.org.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://nacoa.org.uk/</a></p><p>Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-Martinez</p><p>Instagram - @TheDaniellaMartinez</p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.
