Alcohol free for 16 months and then went back to it for 10 months Just not worth it. My “why” has gotten bigger and bigger the older I’ve gotten and farther along I’ve come. Not worth the drain on rest, productivity, lack of energy, sleep, and everything else that goes along with it. Here to encourage others and be encouraged. Stick with it everyone! We got this!

Tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6:30 PM EST, I'm sitting down with Jeff Packard, and I'd love for you to tune in live. Two years ago, Jeff found Fit Recovery while running a solar company and drinking alone every night after work. Today, he spends his time helping others find the same way forward. We're going to talk about what actually changed for him: why willpower kept failing, what Nutrient Repair did for his cravings, and why connection turned out to matter as much as biochemistry. If you're somewhere in the middle of your own journey, this is the kind of conversation that's worth 45 minutes of your evening. Your mental diet is just as important as your physical diet.

This was me in June 2023. (Blue shirt) From the outside, life looked pretty good. We had just started our solar business. I was showing up for work and taking care of responsibilities. What most people didn't know was that I drank alone almost every day just to feel normal. I wasn't celebrating—I was escaping. This is me today. (this week actually/family pic) I'm not perfect, but I'm two years alcohol-free and far more present with my wife, my family, and my life. Quitting wasn't just about removing alcohol. I had to repair my body, learn why I was craving it, and stay connected with people who understood what I was going through. That combination changed everything. 4th of July I was drinking a Kava drink. lol. If you're just getting started—or you're wondering if life can actually get better without alcohol—I hope this community gives you hope. You're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. I'd love to hear where you are in your journey.

After years of daily drinking, Joe Barriere was given just 2 months to live at the age of 31. Fast forward 5+ years, and he has two children and a very full life. Today he's joining me live to get into the whole story. We'll talk through how he found Fit Recovery, what actually changed once he committed, and how he's been able to make the most out of life since then. If you're facing a health wake-up call of your own, or watching someone you love ignore theirs, be sure to tune in! The best way to watch this one is using the link below, at 4 PM EST: https://riverside.com/studio/chris-scotts-studio-xf6Xn To your health & freedom, Chris PS - We ran into some technical trouble streaming to YouTube last time, and I'm sorry if you tried to tune in and couldn't. We expect to have it fully sorted soon. For today, we're going live through Riverside instead, so you can watch right here: https://riverside.com/studio/chris-scotts-studio-xf6Xn

Reminder that Coach Tana and I go live today at 12:30 PM EST. We'll dig into the topics of conquering alcohol and of course, post-alcohol optimization! We'll also work in a few topics you've raised in here: Valerie's question about finding the root cause of cravings instead of reaching for a drink, staying motivated when a draining job runs you down, and Robbie's experience with the indifference and low motivation that come with PAWS. The best way to watch is on the Fit Recovery YouTube channel. Head over a few minutes before 12:30 and the live stream will be right at the top: https://www.youtube.com/fitrecovery This is not a live Q&A. But if there's something else you'd like us to cover, drop it in the comments below and we'll do our best to work it in! To your health & freedom, Chris
