If you want to stop drinking alcohol completely or cut down drinking alcohol significantly, this episode gives you 6 practical steps to regain control without going to extremes. 

This isn't about addiction recovery - it's for guys who want to learn how to cut down on alcohol and build a healthier relationship with drinking after 40.

** Take my free Men 40+ Performance Roadblock test to understand which habits and hormones are holding YOU back from looking and feeling great as you get older: https://ovr40.co/quiz **

Many men over 40 find themselves drinking more than intended throughout the week, feeling like alcohol controls them rather than the other way around. Whether you want to stop drinking alcohol entirely or just reduce your intake, these strategies help you take back control and make conscious choices about when and how much you drink.

I share the complete 6-step framework including identifying triggers, questioning the "reward" mindset, finding alternative coping mechanisms, and handling social pressure. You'll learn why the all-or-nothing approach fails and discover the "light gray area" where you can enjoy occasional drinks without feeling dependent on alcohol.

I also cover my personal journey from regular home drinking and heavy social drinking to complete control, plus the health impacts that get worse as we age - weight gain, hormone disruption, sleep problems, and mental clarity issues.

By the end, you'll have practical tools to cut down drinking alcohol that work with your social life, understand why alcohol affects men over 40 differently, and know how to enjoy life without needing alcohol to relax or have fun.
