Imagine two versions of you running in parallel.
One wakes up foggy, tired, slightly behind the day, the version of you shaped by evening drinks that “aren’t a problem… but aren’t helping.”
The other wakes up clear, energised, grounded, and fully alive, the version that’s possible when alcohol no longer calls the shots.

In this episode, Peter sits down with Rich Casement, founder of Clean Break, to explore the role alcohol quietly plays in our energy, identity, and ability to show up as the person we want to be.

Rich has spent years helping people rewire their relationship with alcohol, not from a place of shame or labels, but from clarity, awareness, and possibility. Together they unpack:

In this conversation:
• The “two lives” you can live — and how alcohol decides which one you wake up in
• The haze, lethargy, and “going through the motions” many people mistake for normal
• Why we still drink even when we know all the consequences
• Alcohol’s impact on mornings, motivation, and parental guilt
• The identity shift that happens when someone takes a “clean break”
• Why moderation often fails (and why that’s not your fault)
• What begins to happen after 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days alcohol-free
• How to decide if alcohol is truly serving you
• A powerful coaching exercise you can do at home to understand why you drink
• The first signs that clarity is returning and what to do next

Whether you drink occasionally, socially, daily, or are simply questioning your habits, this episode offers a compassionate, honest and deeply human look at the version of you waiting on the other side of alcohol.
