By Patrick Fox

The Alcohol ReThink Podcast is for men who want to change their relationship with alcohol.

They either want to take a break and see what life is like without alcohol or have had enough and want to stop for good but aren't sure how.

You can stop drinking because you choose to and I'm going to share with you all of the ways to stop the easy way and start reclaiming your life from the booze and never have to worry about it again.

127. Addicted parents, trauma and healing with Denita Bremer

This week on The Alcohol ReThink podcast Patrick was joined by Denita Bremer.

Denita is a shame and trauma coach for latter-day saint women.

Denita was born to teen parents who had struggles with drugs and alcohol. In response to the trauma in her upbringing Denita developed a coping mechanism which was to be a ‘good learner’.

In this episode we discuss the impact of being brought up by parents with addiction, how she survived, the impact that had later in life and how she healed those traumas which led her to create the work she does in the world now.

- Underage drinking & having conversations around it

- How our upbringing influences our own parenting styles (positively and negatively)

- The importance of connection and the impact of being emotionally absent

- How we form (false) beliefs in childhood that play out in later life

- “The strengths that got you here are now holding you back”

- How we use alcohol and drugs as an attempt to self-soothe and regulate

- Working through trauma

- Cultivating compassion for yourself and your past

- Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional

On this week's episode of The Alcohol ReThink podcast, Patrick was joined by sober life coach, Tony Richardson.

Tony’s relationship with alcohol started when he joined the Royal Australian airforce at just 16 years old. Brought up in a culture where alcohol was the norm, Tony found himself slipping into addiction.

Tony began recognising the signs that he might have a problem with alcohol and after a particularly horrendous hangover, he knew something had to change.

For 8 years Tony managed to stop drinking using willpower and some of the AA philosophy. He spent those years constantly battling with himself about whether he could drink or not.

After hearing about the loss of a good friend, overcome with grief, the willpower Tony had been using was no more.

Tony's alcohol use soon went back to it's previous levels and after a few years a chance encounter with a book called This Naked Mind changed his life.

Now in his second and final spell of sobriety, Tony is no longe drinking and no longer has the battle or desire too.

Join us in this episode to find out how to go from using willpower to completely rewiring your brain.

Some of the cool things they talk about

- Unhelpful beliefs about not drinking

- Willpower is not the enemy

- Discovering why you drink instead of shaming yourself

- The patriarchy trap

- Finding ways to talk as men

- Secret drinking

- Finding the courage to say you need support

- Redefining failure

“Alcohol’s the problem, not you” - Tony Richardson

114. Back from the depths of alcohol with Anthony Wragg

114. Back from the depths of alcohol with Anthony Wragg

This week I am joined by an awesome guest whose journey to sobriety is nothing short of incredible.

After being given his first alcoholic drink at the age of 5, and being brought up in a home and culture that celebrated and normalised alcohol, Anthony has had to overcome some staggering circumstances in life.

A story that involves a heart attack at 41, followed by a cardiac arrest a few months later, being in a coma, having his heart stop for 8 minutes, and then a night where he wanted to end it all due to alcohol and drug use.

Anthony brings his real, raw and authentic self in an interview that is pure inspiration for anyone wanting to stop drinking.

You won’t want to miss it.

Some of the other topics they cover in this episode are:

- Exploring what beliefs he had learnt and inherited about alcohol from a young age

- Creating a sober picture diary

- The incredible support of his wife through it all

- How his once paranoid state when drinking and using disappeared in sobriety

- How having an understanding of his brain helped him to create new choices

- The sober me identity

- New habits and routines he has created since stopping

- Being thankful for each day he wakes up sober

- A willingness to prove himself wrong

- The sober toolkit he developed and what the first couple of months of sobriety have been like.

This is a truly inspirational story that proves that anyone can rethink the role of alcohol in their lives.

Do you ever feel like you have to be someone else in order to fit in? Do feel like you have to hide what you really love in life?


Then have a listen to this week's episode of The Alcohol ReThink podcast where I was joined by the awesome Nathan Gallagher.


He founded the Love Jam community, which specialises in sober parties and festivals. After spending much of his late teens and early 20s in what he describes as a 'stereotypical binge drinking brit', his love of music and a journey of self-discovery led him to create LoveJam.


Cool things we discuss in this episode:


- The masks we wear

- The power of breathwork, mediation and self-love

- Acceptance, authenticity and self expression

- Getting comfortable with ALL of your emotions

- The importance of where you place importance and value

- The way you start and finish your day is essential to your daily experience
