Wild Ride to Sobriety: Transformation from Addiction to Empowerment [Ian Fee]

Ian Fee was immersed in a culture that celebrated excessive drinking from an early age.  He had his first sip of alcohol as a toddler, was a bartender at 13, and attributed his business success to martini lunches and wining and dining his clients.  Yet he found the courage and determination to make a conscious choice to embrace sobriety without sacrificing the enjoyment of life.  Ian is a successful author, entrepreneur, and the creator of Make It Great (MIG).  Website: makeitgreat.meLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-fee-6391b112/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Make-It-Great/100034784122106/Link to Book: https://www.amazon.com/Wild-Ride-Sobriety-Transformation-Oblivion/dp/B0DHYR1YST/Some of the highlights Ian shares:First sip of alcohol at age 1Bartender at age 13Used booze to build his business successAlcohol consumption is a highly accepted business practiceHaving all the appearances of success, but leaving a wake of destructionHow drinking negatively affects marriage relationships  How drinking negatively affects relationships with children Realizing that something needed to change"Aversion therapy" to overcome a drinking habitStarted therapy to save his marriage and to be a better father, but soon realized that he needed to do it for himselfLosing 85 pounds and getting healthyI feel like a million bucksHow journaling, gratitude, breathwork, and exercise helpForgive your younger self.  Believe in your current self.  Create your future self.Learning self disciplineI had signs, but I didn't see themImproving intimate relationshipsJoy is continued happiness over and over againHow his former "party-hard" life was an attractive counterfeit for true joyGather people around you who help you become your best selfYou can still be the life of the party when you're soberAnd moreThank you for supporting Linda's Corner!
