129. Freedom from Alcohol with Bill Masters

This week on The Alcohol ReThink podcast Patrick was joined by Bill Masters. Bill is a certified This Naked Mind coach. He changed his relationship with alcohol and has been free from alcohol since December 27th 2021. Bill is using his experience and expertise to now help the LBGTQIA+ Community, to also find freedom from alcohol. At only 16 years old Bill learned that alcohol was a way to help him cope with trauma experienced from being bullied and living in a volatile home. After 40 years of drinking and drug use, he’s discovered that there are other healthier ways of managing his mental and emotional wellbeing. In this episode Bill brings his radically honest story of change and how it is possible for anyone who wants to rethink alcohol in their life.  Some of the cool things they cover in this episode are: - How science, self-reflection and compassion go a long way in rethinking alcohol - The glamorization of alcohol and a sense of being ‘special’ drinking top shelf vodka - Rituals created around alcohol and how they make you feel - Be mindful of using other people's perceptions to make choices for yourself - Drinking to quiet the inner demons - self negativity - The power of the subconscious mind - Finding excuses to drink - I’ll hurt myself, so you can’t hurt me - Finding the gift of addiction - Drinking the satisfy the misery of withdrawal - Beliefs we create around why we drink - You’re far stronger and more capable than you can ever imagine Christmas Alcohol ReThink Group Call Register here: https://www.patrickjfox.com/xmas-alcohol-rethink Connect with Bill Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/afaf_coach/ Website: ⁠https://afafcoach.com/ Connect with Patrick: To find out how Patrick can help you stop drinking and create an awesome life without alcohol, book a free⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ one hour consultation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to discover how his 6 month 1-1 coaching program will take you from feeling out of control and self-hating to sober, clear-headed, full of energy, looking good and doing more of what you love in life.
