Threshold Moments
When it's time to end our drinking careers, we all have our "threshold moments" - those moments of clarity where we realize where we've crossed a line, and there is no going back.For some, it may be desribed as a 'rock bottom moment', for others it may show up as a spiritual shift within oneself, for others it may be something your child or partner says to you...We discuss what our threshold moments were, and how they echo into our current states of non-drinkerdom.👉https://book.coachbychris.com/fre...

78. Chris Shatek's Story: Lose the Labels - Get Sober
Chris was a high-functioning heavy drinker who worked on the radio and felt incredibly unfulfilled in his career and life. This is what kept him drinking more and more. Chris knew he was meant for more and knew alcohol was the one thing holding him back from that life he wanted. He knew he wasn't living his life to his full potential and he knew that if he was going to have the life he was meant to be living, alcohol simply could not be a part of it.
