Last year, a client reached out after a night where he’d held his ground for a while—until he didn’t. He’d been avoiding alcohol, trying to be a better version of himself, but a few jokes from colleagues about him being “boring” or “too good for a drink” started to knock him. After enough ribbing, he caved, threw back a beer, and didn't stop. The next morning, he messaged me feeling everything from regret to frustration—mostly with himself. Here was a man with years of professional success, yet he felt gutted that he’d buckled under what felt like teenage peer pressure. I asked him a simple question: Is disappointing yourself easier than disappointing others? His answer was one a lot of us would relate to: “Honestly, I’ve never been that fussed about other people’s opinions. But letting myself down—that’s what stings.” We talked it through, and slowly, he saw it as just a bump in the road, a blip—a lesson in learning who he really wanted to be and how he wanted to show up for his life. A part of his process. Since that day, he hasn’t touched a drop. And if he had, that wouldn’t have been the point. The real takeaway was in recognising a pattern, finding support, and making choices that left him feeling more in control of his own life. Because in the end, it’s not the drink causing the discomfort—it’s the discomfort that makes us reach for the drink. When he shifted his focus to showing up for him, his choices started to change. Maybe this is your year to start showing up differently, too.
