Author: James Swanwick April 1, 2026 Duration: 38:14

What happens when a high achiever stops "managing" their drinking and starts masterfully managing their life? Coach Matt sits down with AFL client Laura to celebrate her 13-month alcohol-free milestone.

Discover how Laura navigated the common pitfalls of the first year, from "gray area" drinking traps to high-stakes social events, and emerged with a level of self-trust she never thought possible.

Learn about the profound shift in metabolic health, the elimination of "3 AM anxiety," and the power of consistent coaching in building a life where alcohol is no longer even a consideration.

 This episode is a deep dive into the compounding interest of sobriety and the lasting freedom that comes from choosing yourself over the glass.
