209. Quitting Drinking Won’t Fix Everything… But It’s a Great Start

In this episode of The Alcohol Rethink Podcast, Patrick explores a common but overlooked belief many men hold when they stop drinking, the idea that sobriety will fix everything.

Drawing from personal experience and client stories, he reflects on why quitting alcohol is a powerful step, but not a magic solution. Patrick talks about the emotional ups and downs that can follow early sobriety, the expectations that often lead to frustration, and why it’s so important to see sobriety not as a quick fix, but as the foundation for something deeper.

Listeners will hear about what can happen when alcohol is no longer there to escape into, and how the real work, and opportunity, begins when we learn to face life fully. It’s a grounded, honest look at what it really means to live alcohol-free.
