80. Acceptance, Connection & Healing with Chris Marshall

In this week’s episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast Patrick is joined by the awesome Chris Marshall AKA @sans_bar on Instagram.

During this episode Chris really brings his raw authentic self. He shares what it was like for him growing up as a young child and having to tragically deal with the death of his father from a young age and the expectation that was placed on him.

He shares why he first started drinking and then how he stopped. It’s quite a journey.

This is an amazing conversation in which Chris brings so much wisdom and advice for all the guys out there who want to rethink their relationship with alcohol.

Some of the cool things we cover in this episode are:

- Asking yourself ‘who do you want to be in this world?’
- How drinking for connection is a myth. It actually creates disconnection from the self and others
- Changing how we perceive substance abuse and lives lost as a result
- The birth of Sans Bar and celebrating it’s 5th year of business
- The false mirage of opening up that alcohol creates
- Noticing how many women are open to sobriety compared to guys
- You can never understand why your drinking while you’re drinking
- Men’s propensity to want to fix and do things on our own and how it can become unhelpful
- The version of you who drinks isn’t weak, it’s the strongest. How they endure the absolute hell of drinking
- How making peace with your past helps you to move forward
- Why stopping drinking helps you to heal the relationship you have with yourself
- The impact of loneliness
- The power of radical acceptance
