How I quit alcohol

247. How we quit alcohol and changed our self concept for lasting change Danni and Ash

In this episode, Ash and I have a good old chat in the studio celebrating our book release, How I Quit Alcohol, A Rock N Roll Guide To Sobriety.

We chat about that first year of sobriety and beyond, how much our life has changed and some of the challenges that we faced in early sobriety.

We also talk about why choosing a 12 month break is a great reset and why it's so important to have 100% commitment with your choices.

Why changing your self concept is also so important to create lasting and rewarding change.

Tune in for those juicy topics and much more...
