Dax On Quitting Drinking, Dear Alcohol, And Why He Stopped For Good

When Dax wrote Dear Alcohol, he was still drinking every single day. Tequila in the morning before 500 push-ups. A few sips before every music video, every interview, every social post, every show. He had been doing it for years.Then the song dropped, hit 28 million views, and changed everything.This week on One for the Road, Sober Dave talks to Dax, the Ottawa-born rapper behind Dear God and Dear Alcohol. Dax shares the full story. The cocooned basketball years from 11 to 17 where he shunned every party. The first Heineken in his basement before his first ever party. The "second superpower" feeling that drinking gave him. The Tech N9ne tour with shows every night and drinks before every one. The two and a half years where he could not remember the last time he had gone two days without alcohol. The exact steps he took to stop, including changing every routine alcohol was attached to.If you drink every day, drink for confidence, or have been quietly trying to quit drinking on your own, this conversation will land.This episode of One For The Road is sponsored by https://tweaklife.co.uk/ Further information and links attached below.If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice and for Dax.Instagram @thatsdaxhttps://alcoholchange.org.uk/https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezThis season's podcast is sponsored by a great new start up called Tweak Life.
