    On Being AFAF: A Conversation With Doug Gelling

    🎙 Meet Doug Gelling: A STRIVER who decided to rewrite the script of his life by quitting alcohol in 2016. Far from hitting "rock bottom," Doug realized that his life, marred by alcohol dependence, was on an unsustainable path that affected his health and relationships.
    🌱 Well-Being & Philosophy: Since waving goodbye to alcohol, Doug has embarked on a transformative journey. Rooted in discipline, fitness, spirituality, and a deep commitment to serving others, he's a testament to what can happen when you align your life with your values.
    📚 Mindfulness, Buddhism, and Stoicism: While he doesn’t identify himself as a Buddhist, Doug is a practicing Stoic with a daily mindfulness routine. His focus on these philosophies has served as the backbone for his remarkable turnaround.
    💡 Guiding Principle: Inspired by Dr. BJ Miller, Doug's life mantra can be summed up as: "Life is precious because it ends." In his own words, "Nothing that has an unlimited supply is precious. As I’ve gotten older, I understand that each day is truly a precious gift. I will not waste another one of them."
    Join us for an inspiring, insightful, and deeply personal conversation with Doug Gelling. Learn how he managed to break free from the clutches of alcohol, and how you too can transform your life by focusing on what truly matters.

    The AFAF Shift: Episode 3: Navigating Identity, Longing, and The Liquid Lie: Unpacking the Teenage Years

    Welcome to Episode 3 of The AFAF Shift! This poignant episode dives deep into the turbulent waters of adolescence—a time fraught with identity crises, unrequited love, and the insidious onset of alcohol reliance. Through the lens of Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages, host Lee Davy revisits his teenage years to unravel the 'Liquid Lie' society often tells us, where alcohol becomes a damaging rite of passage. Tune in for a captivating blend of personal storytelling and psychological insight that reveals how these formative years set the stage for later relationship dynamics, addictive behaviours, and the perpetual quest for external validation. Lee also opens up about his transformational journey and offers actionable steps for developing a more conscious, SELF-led life. Don't miss this episode; it promises to be as impactful as it is revealing. See you on the other side of the 'AFAF Shift'!

I am a drug and alcohol counsellor and am always looking for inspiration for myself and for my clients. I totally recommend this podcast for its variety and applicability. We can always reduce our recourse to alcohol, food etc and this does that. Thanks so much Lee.

I have been sort of the Strive community since February 2019. The podcasts are inspirational and bang on topic for someone who is wanting to become someone who doesn’t drink alcohol. Highly recommended.

Real, honest and the truth.

Do yourself a favour folks, listen to this! He's real, he's upfront and honest and, best of all, he speaks nothing but the truth about alcohol. Thanks Lee!
