How Giving Up Alcohol Transformed Everything, with Dr Alex George

How Giving Up Alcohol Transformed Everything, with Dr Alex George

This special episode is brought to you in partnership with Fora Space.


Dr. Alex George joins Jake for an open, deeply human conversation about happiness, mental health, and the quiet changes that can transform a life. He challenges the idea that doing more or achieving more will make us happy, explaining why we put happiness on a pedestal while ignoring emotions like sadness, grief, and frustration, even though every emotion has a purpose.


Dr. Alex also speaks honestly about sobriety, social pressure, and why you don’t need to hit rock bottom to rethink your relationship with alcohol. This conversation also explores grief, therapy, ADHD, and the stigma around men expressing emotion. Dr. Alex reflects on learning to sit with difficult feelings rather than escaping them, why walking therapy helped him process loss, and how cultural expectations can silence people until it’s too late.


This episode offers a powerful, practical episode about choosing awareness over avoidance, and building a healthier relationship with yourself, one step at a time.


Dr Alex's new book "Am I Normal?: Understanding Your Place in a Complex World" is out in January.
