058. Kris Lawrence | A Conversation With My Brother

Every year around this time, I feel drawn towards talking about sobriety and what's involved in being a non-drinker.

In past years I have spoken with well-known specialists such as Mandy Manners, Kate Bailey and Sober Dave, all of which provide deeper insight into becoming alcohol-free.

However, this year, and after many requests, I have decided to share a talk with my brother, Kris Lawrence, about our different perspectives on my sobriety.

The purpose of this conversation was to offer insight, companionship, support and the challenging emotions surrounding sobriety so that anyone considering experiencing a dry January could take some motivation.

On a personal level, this conversation offered me some incredible insight into some of my more significant life events.

I would be lying if I didn’t confess to feeling uncomfortably vulnerable about releasing this episode as I self-disclose a lot about some very personal moments of my life.

That is my hope for this episode is that my experience can offer a helpful perspective on your own experiences.

So please enjoy, relax and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.


Highlights:

👉 When my relationship with alcohol started

👉 When did it start becoming a problem

👉 Why I believe I used alcohol as a coping mechanism for trauma

👉 Why I decided to go alcohol-free

👉 What have I gained from that decision
