Before We Begin

Let me start by being completely honest with you: I’ve had plenty of good times with alcohol. Nights out, holidays, weekends with friends — it was part of the rhythm of life for a long time. If that’s your experience too, then I completely get it.

But here’s the question that changed things for me:

When does something that once added to your life quietly start taking more than it gives?

Maybe you’ve felt it as well.

Not a dramatic moment — just subtle shifts:

Mornings that feel heavier than they should.

Energy that never quite gets back to 100%.

A sense that drinking is becoming more of an autopilot habit than an intentional choice.

That first-drink thought creeping in earlier than it used to.

You might still enjoy drinking at times — many people do.

But you might also be wondering whether it’s starting to get in the way of who you want to be and how you want to feel.

If any of this rings true, you’re not alone.

And you’re not imagining it.

These are the early signs people notice long before they ever say, “I need to change something.”

I’m not here to tell you what to do.

I’m here to help you explore what these shifts might mean — and what life could look like if alcohol stopped taking up so much space.

If you’re curious, keep reading.

It might be the most important question you ask yourself this year.

Best wishes,

Steve
