Episode Fifty-Nine: Why you don’t need to quit drinking forever to experience the benefits of sobriety, with Matt Pink
Ep 59. Why you don’t need to quit drinking forever to experience the benefits of sobriety, with Matt Pink
In this week’s episode I’m chatting with Matt Pink, an alcohol-free coach and entrepreneur. Matt quit drinking in April 2020 and since that time has taken the sober world by storm. He’s not only published a best-selling book but is also the co-founder of Dryy – an online and offline community that welcomes anyone wanting to try an alcohol-free lifestyle.
Matt’s life today couldn’t be more different than the one he was living 10 years ago. After experiencing a life-changing tragedy in 2013, Matt found himself self-medicating with drugs and alcohol for many years. A chance encounter with a complete stranger on the streets of London helped Matt to open his eyes and change the direction of his life forever.
From losing everything, to rebuilding a life where he’s the happiest he’s ever been, Matt’s story is one of hope and strength.

Staying open to spirituality – 14:00
Using drugs to manage your drinking – 21:00
