    Build Confidence without Alcohol - Scott Hardiman

    It's a big day for me as I have hit my original goal of 90 days booze free. I signed up with One Year No Beer and took on their 90 day challenge and with their support, guidance and the help of the massive community in their closed Facebook group, I've smashed that goal! I feel amazing. Who knew that abstaining from alcohol for 3 months would have such a positive and life changing affect. I feel so much healthier, well rested, enthusiastic and emotionally stable.The destructive and unhealthy things I used to enjoy as a drinker are no longer a part of my life and have been replaced with development, learning, exercise, progressing in my career and most importantly for me, dedicated and 100% present time with my wife and daughter. There's no sugar coating it, I'm a better Dad without alcohol in my life. But I'm not stopping there. I'm not ready to give up the incredible changes to my world, so the show must go on and I'll be taking you along with me as I continue to navigate this amazing life sans alcohol. So my guest for this week is Scott Hardiman. Scott is a coach that specialises in building confidence. He tells us about his journey of being alcohol free and we talk about Scott's past history battling anxiety for over 5 years and how this affected his perception of drinking. We broach the subjects of anxiety and confidence and how we can tackle anxious thoughts and build confidence without the need to self medicate through alcohol. Scott also explains and demonstrates that being more present and mindful can help alleviate anxious thoughts One a side note we talk about my crippling fear of holiday entertainment teams and he teaches me how to question my negative self talk. I'm excited to share this interview with you and I hope you enjoy it.

    Finding Happiness Without Alcohol - Interview with John Davidson - Happiness Hacks

    Who doesn't want to be more happy?! Silly question really, but do we ever consider what affect alcohol has on our happiness? Is it holding us back from a more rich and fulfilling life?   Looking back I don't think I was truly happy when I was drinking. And when I wasn't drinking, I would be suffering the affects of heightened anxiety, guilt and the negative physical symptoms that come with drinking.   I would trade a few hours of boozy relief for a day of suffering in a continuous cycle. That's no way to live a happy life.   In this episode I'm thrilled to be joined by John Davidson; a psychotherapist, host of Happiness Hacks podcast and all around lovely guy.   He decided to cut alcohol out of his life 7 years ago and as a result, he completely changed his career and lifestyle to one that is based around both caring for himself and helping others with their mental health.   We cover some fascinating topics including how to swap out alcohol as a coping strategy to something more beneficial and also how to develop other areas of your life alongside your relationship with alcohol.   Check out the Happiness Hacks Website as well as on Spotify and Apple Podcasts   John also has a brand now programme called YOUniversity which is a 12 month course on living a happier life.   For more information as well as helpful tips and advice you can head over to the Booze Break website   A big thank you to One Year No Beer for not only supporting me through my break from alcohol but also for supporting the show. If you would like to take up a 28 day, 90 day or 365 day challenge you can click the link and sign up today. I can't recommend One Year No Beer highly enough and by signing up, you'll also be supporting me and the podcast which I really appreciate.   And if you'd like to support the show you can donate to our Patreon and get juicy bonuses in return for your generosity
