In this podcast we talk about his new radio show, quitting smoking and alcohol and which one was the most difficult and why, the importance of journaling, creating a vision of the future, making the vision of your sober life more fun and exciting than the drunken one, losing your family, and the hard work that it takes to get them back again.

Before you go, do you want to join me in the trenches and learn what life is like in the middle of an addiction story? I'm not talking about the part when you are drunk out of your skull and can't remember anything. I'm talking about what comes after you quit. How do you fill the white space? How do you find a new community? How do you find meaning and purpose? If these questions interest you, then buy my new book Needy Helper 2015 Diary Excerpts: A Life After Alcohol - amzn.to/2axGveg Talking about community, how would you like to become a member of the Needy Helper Hub? It's a new idea to create a connected community, with support and a continual personal improvement process forever.
