Description

Why do you really want to stop drinking?

It sounds like an obvious question, but most guys don’t take the time to dig deep enough. And here’s why it matters: if your WHY isn’t strong and compelling, it won’t stick.

In this episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick breaks down why your WHY is the foundation of lasting change. He’ll share how to go beyond vague ideas like 'better health' or 'saving money' and instead connect to a reason that drives you every single day.

You’ll also hear how neuroscience shows the power of your WHY, and how feeling it, not just writing it down, can give you the motivation to follow through.


- Why vague reasons aren’t enough to create lasting change
- How identifying your values helps build a compelling WHY
- A personal story about the natural curiosity of asking “why”
- A step-by-step project to define your own WHY statement
- The neuroscience behind dopamine and motivation, and why feeling your WHY matters

Know Your WHY Questions:

- What impact will stopping drinking have on me and the people around me?
- How will my health improve? Why's that important?
- How much money will I save, and what will I do with it?
- How will my day-to-day life change without alcohol?
- How do I want to show up in the world alcohol-free?

If you’ve been struggling to get momentum, this episode will help you put your WHY front and centre so it can guide your choices and anchor you on your alcohol-free journey.
