LAF Life was voted one of the Top 10 new recovery podcasts in 2022. It is a weekly lifestyle podcast hosted by a couple of friends living alcohol free. In a booze-soaked world, we all made the unpopular decision to become "AF" (alcohol-free). What makes us different? This podcast is about sharing our unique perspectives on how we managed to pull ourselves out of this cultural epidemic and create a beautiful alcohol free life. Without using labels to define our choices, we debunk some of the myths about what life is really like without alcohol. We came together with a common vision, to share our stories and build a community of likeminded people in a safe, judgement free environment. We reveal our real life experiences unscripted & uncensored with the hopes to inspire others on their journey to sobriety. On the road to self-discovery we plan to grow, learn and heal together.

Judgement vs. Support in the "AF"(Alcohol Free) Community, Season 3 Ep. 8
Living Alcohol Free like many things, is not a one size fits all approach. We started this podcast to show people that there are many ways to live a beautiful alcohol free life. We choose this somewhat controversial topic because we were disappointed with some of the judgment we'd seen recently in comments on Social Media regarding how people choose to live alcohol free. We wanted to address this for everyone starting out on this journey as we know there can be a lot of fear around the idea of giving up alcohol. We didn't want anyone considering an alcohol free lifestyle to be influenced by the opinion that it needs to be done a certain way to be the right way. What works for some does not work for all, so the best way is to find your own way! Find what works for you and what makes you feel good. From time to time we can all fall victim to making judgements, but next time you do, stop and remind yourself that judgement is our inner voice whispering "You still have work to do my child". We are all on the say team in this space....."Team No Alcohol" and that's why it's important we support ALL the ways.

Great guest episode chatting with successful Real Estate agent Deborah Leblanc. Deborah is a perfect example of someone who grew up in an environment where drinking alcohol was the norm. As she carried on to adulthood her drinking progressed into a daily habit. After an ongoing health issue that she was convinced was due to her drinking habit, she made the instant decision to stop. With clean test results back from the doctor Deborah took that as a new lease on life. We could feel the joy and vitality in Deborah's energy as she described how much better life is alcohol free!

Drinking is not our Identity, Season 3 Ep. 6
Drinking is not our Identity! In this episode we explore what our identity is made up of and when we define ourselves we do not want societal labels to be part of self definition. We often allow societal labels to describe a part of who we are or mistake activities we participate in be associated with who we are, but we are human BEINGS not human DOINGS. This can be a slippery slope when it comes to drinking as we can attach our identity to labels like "the fun guy". These labels can keep us stuck in our fear, questioning "who am I going to be without alcohol"? The truth is when we are drinking we are not our authentic self we are an altered version of ourselves. In this discussion, we uncover so many things that make up our identity, which is way beyond the limiting labels society attaches to us. Don't limit yourself with labels we are so much more then the things we do. Who we are or want to be is limitless!

CHANGE: How fear can keep us stuck & how when we change so can the people around us. Season 3 Ep.5
In episode 5 we discuss the impact changing our relationship with alcohol has on the people around us. When we make the decision to change we can't expect everyone to follow, as we were the ones who made the decision to change. Changing ourselves can be scary for the people closest to us as our new behavior's and habits are not what they are use to. We are creatures of habit so this can make people uncomfortable. Changing can inevitably affect the dynamics of our relationships, some relationships may even come to an end. On the other side change can also welcome new relationships that are more aligned with the version of ourself we are becoming. We can also influence people in a positive way by inspiring them to make changes themselves. Either way change is a necessary part of taking a path to self improvement.

Gary Menkes, The Begin Again Podcast, Season 3, Ep.4
It's always a pleasure when we invite our fellow Podcasters to share their story with us. In episode 4, Gary Menkes, host of The Begin Again Podcast, had the ability to convey his 17 years of sobriety in such a unique and impactful way. Gary took us on a transformational journey as he recalled his very dark relationship with alcohol and the unexpected shift that brought him into the light of Sobriety. Gary was aligned with our mission when he started The Begin Again Podcast. He believed by sharing his story and showcasing the recovery success stories of others, he could be of service to those seeking inspiration. During our conversation with Gary it was very apparent to us that he had followed his purpose when he decided to launch The Begin Again Podcast!
