Ep 59. Why you don’t need to quit drinking forever to experience the benefits of sobriety, with Matt Pink

In this week’s episode I’m chatting with Matt Pink, an alcohol-free coach and entrepreneur. Matt quit drinking in April 2020 and since that time has taken the sober world by storm. He’s not only published a best-selling book but is also the co-founder of Dryy – an online and offline community that welcomes anyone wanting to try an alcohol-free lifestyle. Matt’s life today couldn’t be more different than the one he was living 10 years ago. After experiencing a life-changing tragedy in 2013, Matt found himself self-medicating with drugs and alcohol for many years. A chance encounter with a complete stranger on the streets of London helped Matt to open his eyes and change the direction of his life. From losing everything, to rebuilding a life where he’s the happiest he’s ever been, Matt’s story is one of hope and strength.We chatted about a range of topics including: Staying open to spirituality – 14:00 Using drugs to manage your drinking – 21:00 Find happiness on the inside – 26:40 Sobergasms – 31:00 Sober Parenting 33:40 Sober Entrepreneurship – 37:18To see Matt’s Behind The Smile photo, head to Ash’s website.
