In his twenties and early thirties, Tom had developed a lifestyle that centered on alcohol and cocaine. Although he had stopped excessive drinking and drug use, a number of things happened in a short period of time which led him back to that lifestyle. He was wrongfully fired from a high-profile job in 2009 in a public and embarrassing manner. Then in January of 2010, when his colleague’s 18-year-old son was paralyzed from the neck down after a snowboarding accident, he agreed to assist with her law practice for a year to allow her to take time to care for her son. Just months later, in March of 2010, his brother was similarly paralyzed from the neck down in a ski accident and he wound up becoming intimately involved in his daily care and rehabilitation in Maine. In June of the same year, his mother was diagnosed with throat cancer, which had Tom running back and forth to Albany to assist in taking his Mom to chemotherapy treatments and other doctor appointments.Taking on all of these new responsibilities, on top of running his own law firm, was extremely overwhelming. Given the utter lack of even minimal help from other family members in dealing with his brother’s accident and other issues, Tom returned to his reliance on alcohol and drugs as a crutch to keep up with all of these demands.This resulted in Tom winding up at rehab in upstate New York in May of 2011. When he entered rehab he was 140 pounds, had bleeding gums from frequent cocaine use, cardiac and pulmonary problems from smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, and was near bankruptcy. There was no doubt Tom was a mess. When he left rehab one month later, Tom was 177 pounds with a muffin top, his gums were healing, and he faced the challenge of cleaning up the messes created in every aspect of his life.Nutrition, exercise and a regular twelve-step practice have helped Tom overcome these obstacles. In the last five years, he has rarely been sick; he set out to eat right and exercise every day and on August 1, 2015, Tom won a physique contest for men over 35.Tom has made all his financial amends and no longer has the specter of bankruptcy hanging over his head. He was certified as a personal trainer in sports nutrition and weight management, all while maintaining a thriving law practice. After two years of freedom from alcohol and drugs, Tom was able to give up cigarettes and nicotine.In 2013, Tom graduated from the Institute for Integrated Nutrition. He has been free of alcohol and drugs since May 11, 2011, and cigarettes and nicotine since September 27, 2013. Tom measures his success by the differences between the life he was living when I entered rehab and his life today. It seems like looking back on a different person and a different lifetime. Through the grace of God, and by utilizing the twelve-steps and tools in this book, Tom was able to achieve his goals of sobriety and overall health.Website: https://www.spiritualadrenaline.comsFacebook: https://facebook.com/SpiritualAdrenaline/Instagram: @Spiritual_AdrTwitter: @spiritualadrenYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZn-be9v4Qhi2QwAQOZI57AMore info – http://unpauseyourlife.comSponsored by:The Addictions Academy – The Nation’s Leading Accredited Addiction Coaching & Intervention Training: https://theaddictionsacademy.com/Music courtesy of Crowfly – http://crowflyrocks.com/Unpause Your Life with Dr. Cali Esteshttps://businessinnovatorsradio.com/unpause-your-life/

Inspired by his love of nature and the spirit by which his late mother lived, a former MTV star and struggling artist, who now can't even pay rent, finds courage to try something new, stand-up comedy."We're simply three guys who wondered what if you could create an entire feature film using just an iPhone. No crew, no lighting, no makeup, just the camera and the assets we had before us. That's how we decided to focus the story on our actual lives and use ourselves and basically our entire lives as the sets and subject matter."Brian Drolet is originally from Queens, NY, and started his acting career in NY theaters as well as several MTV shows where he met Jordan Eubanks who is originally from North Carolina, the two became best friends and went on to both star on season one of MTV's The Hills as well as started producing independent films together. That is how they met Chris Livingston, an NYU Graduate Film School alumni, while making the indie feature Dumbbells, a comedy about a gym staff.Collaborating and operating in such a freeing medium we decided to take advantage of all the iPhone had to offer, and along with a Moondog anamorphic lens, an Osmo Mobile gimbal, and some lavaliere mics we set out to shoot a full feature not worried about big names or big budgets and instead focused on heart and story.For more information on Brian Drolet please visit http://www.briandrolet.comFor more information on Chris Livingston visit http://www.chrislivingstonproductions.comFor more information on Jordan Eubanks visit http://www.canvasassassins.comIMDB - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8499810/?ref_=nv_sr_1Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Be-Like-Trees-235939946956618/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beliketrees/?hl=enTwitter - https://twitter.com/beliketreesfilmWebsite - https://www.beliketrees.com/Other - https://www.buzzfeed.com/bricesander/the-hills-dudes-nowMore info - http://unpauseyourlife.comSponsored by:The Addictions Academy - The Nation’s Leading Accredited Addiction Coaching & Intervention Training: https://theaddictionsacademy.com/Music courtesy of Crowfly - http://crowflyrocks.com/Unpause Your Life with Dr. Cali Esteshttps://businessinnovatorsradio.com/unpause-your-life/

For this episode, I was able to talk with Annie Grace, author of the book This Naked Mind. Our fascinating and enlightening conversation reveals that Annie's book primarily addresses the subconscious beliefs most of us have around alcohol. After understanding and tackling these beliefs, you can make a more mindful choice and rely on less willpower when trying to control your drinking.We unpack what Annie means by "controlling drinking" and how it is a very individual thing, it means different things to different people.How did Annie go from two bottles of wine each day to complete abstinence? Find out what she means when she explains, "I stopped trying to stop drinking."I asked Annie what was it in her subconscious that was keeping her stuck? And how did she unlock this key theory to help her control her drinking? Listen in to hear how she discovered it really came down to three layers of belief; substance, society, and self.Her next book is called The Alcohol Experiment, a 30-day challenge that will help people find the answer to the big question, "Would my life be happier if I was drinking less?"BackgroundAnnie Grace is the author of This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life. Annie grew up in a one-room log cabin without running water or electricity outside of Aspen, Colorado. She discovered a passion for marketing and after graduating with a Masters of Science (Marketing) she dove into corporate life.At the age of 26, Annie was the youngest vice president in a multinational company, and her drinking career began in earnest. At 35, in a global C-level marketing role, she was responsible for marketing in 28 countries and drinking almost two bottles of wine a night.Knowing she needed a change but unwilling to submit to a life of deprivation and stigma, Annie set out to find a painless way to regain control. Annie no longer drinks and has never been happier. She left her executive role to write this book and share This Naked Mind with the world.In her free time, Annie loves to ski, travel (26 countries and counting), and enjoy her beautiful family. Annie lives with her husband and three children in the Colorado mountains.Visit the Unpause Your Life site for the full post and more details:https://unpauseyourlife.com/53For more information on Annie Grace:Web: https://thisnakedmind.com/Web: http://alcoholexperiment.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThisNakedMindFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thisnakedmindInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisnakedmindYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thisnakedmindMore info - http://unpauseyourlife.comSponsored by:The Addictions Academy - The Nation’s Leading Accredited Addiction Coaching & Intervention Training: https://theaddictionsacademy.com/Music courtesy of Crowfly - http://crowflyrocks.com/Unpause Your Life with Dr. Cali Esteshttps://businessinnovatorsradio.com/unpause-your-life/
