Struggling With Being Alcohol-Free? You Might Be Ignoring the Map

We had a map. We just didn’t use it.

In today’s episode, I share a stressful hospital visit that became a metaphor for the alcohol-free journey. Liza was hobbling on crutches, and I was fuming at the world—until I realised we’d ignored the one thing designed to make our lives easier: the map.

If you’re on the path to becoming alcohol-free-as-fuck, but you keep going your own way, this one’s for you. We’ll unpack the Illusion of Explanatory Depth, the Dunning-Kruger Effect, and Psychological Reactance—and how these traps make you think the STRIVE Method isn’t for you.

Tune in to discover how trusting the path—and your SELF—is the real shortcut to freedom.
