111: 5 Years Alcohol-Free - Seeing the Benefits

In this episode, we mark five years of alcohol-free living and explore how ditching the drink has transformed health, relationships, business, and mental resilience. This isn’t a preachy sermon – it’s a raw, honest conversation about discipline, self-awareness, and the reality of facing life without the crutch of booze. Smith & Mayhew dive into the emotional challenges of sobriety, the myths about moderation, and why so many men avoid facing the truth about their drinking. There’s wisdom here for anyone who’s ever wondered if they could go a month, a year, or even a lifetime without a pint – plus a few unexpected detours into Baileys on Christmas Eve, Malibu and milk, and why no one has ever ruined their career over a salad… probably!   Adam Smith From depressed and suicidal to the happiest and fittest he’s ever been, Adam Smith’s self-development journey hasn’t been easy but it has been worth it.
