In this episode, he shares how stopping drinking wasn't the biggest challenge - rebuilding himself was. We explore why alcohol promises what sobriety delivers, the power of small habits, how to break free from old versions of yourself, and why lasting change happens when you stop focusing on willpower and start changing your identity.Drawing on his own journey and his work with thousands of people looking to improve their wellbeing, Nigel explains why becoming alcohol-free is about far more than removing alcohol. It's about creating a healthier, calmer, more authentic version of yourself and building a life you no longer want to escape from.LINKSWebsite - https://www.9kmby9am.com/My Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DLPH36R3/ Alcohol Free Coaching Programmes - https://www.9kmby9am.com/coaching/alcohol-free-coaching/Coaching Testimonials - https://www.9kmby9am.com/coaching/coaching-testimonials/Newsletter - https://www.9kmby9am.com/latest-news/newsletter/ Professional Bodies https://general-hypnotherapy-register.com/nigel-jones/ Professional Bodies - https://anlp.org/members/nigel-jones Feel Good Hour  - https://www.feelgoodhour.com Podcasts - https://www.9kmby9am.com/about-nigel/podcasts/ TRY MY AI LIFE COACHhttps://www.9kmby9am.com/about-nigel/ai-coach/ My Instagram is:https://www.instagram.com/recovery_jimmyAnd you can find all my other links at:https://linktr.ee/jimmythistleBuy me a coffee…https://buymeacoffee.com/afterhourswithjimmytAlcohol Explained - William Porterhttps://amzn.to/4uMmkyBThis Naked Mind - Annie Gracehttps://amzn.to/4eC6L6zA Million Little Pieces - James Freyhttps://amzn.to/44jOV3iDonate:https://motiv8.im/donate/https://nacoa.org.uk/get-involved/donating/donate/ Hosted on Acast.
