144. Moving Through The Fear of Change with Adam Hoefler

Are you ready to take full ownership of your life and rethink alcohol for good? Adam Hoefler was, and he joins Patrick on this week’s episode of The Alcohol ReThink podcast where he shares how he has radically rethought the role of alcohol in his life. Growing up Adam was surrounded by alcohol and remembers making a choice to never drink, that was until college came along and it rapidly changed everything. After Adams drinking had become the only way to get things done, he knew that a change was needed but was struggling to find a way out. Join Patrick and Adam in this interview, where Adam shares his alcohol rethink journey. He talks about how and why he started drinking, how it became all-consuming and then how he managed to undo 10 years of falsely created beliefs around alcohol to go alcohol-free and loving it. Enjoy!  Here are some of the cool topics they get into: - How his mind was wrapped around alcohol and drinking beer became the only way to function - Recognising something was wrong with his drinking but his brain wouldn’t let him change - How resistance in being told what to do showed up as rebellion - Changing one habit creates a domino effect of change - Social expectations to drink at college - How the mind misinterprets alcohol as being important to survival and formed false beliefs - Gamifying his drinking and seeing it as a challenge to drink and still be productive - The challenge with rationalising how he was living his life as a way to keep drinking - From letting alcohol fulfill his life for 10 years and take him away from ideal health, to taking 6 months to get back where he wants to be - Understanding when impatience comes up and the power of providing yourself with perspective - The awesome effect of taking full ownership for rethinking alcohol - The strength in focusing on how good he was feeling and not wanting to let it go - Opening up your mind to think about your thoughts #awareness - The positive changes that have happened since Adam stopped drinking alcohol  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.
