The Alcohol ReThink Podcast with Patrick Fox 181. How To Get Intentional About Stopping Drinking in 2025
Is this going to be another new year, same me, or is it time for real change?
In this episode 181 of the Alcohol Rethink Podcast, Patrick Fox speaks about why mindset matters when you’re rethinking alcohol, especially as we roll into a new year.
For many of us, it’s easy to buy into the idea that the calendar change will magically fix things, but Patrick explains why it takes more than that.
He’s all about setting intentional goals, challenging old beliefs about alcohol, and starting to build a new version of yourself, one that doesn’t rely on drinking to cope, celebrate, or unwind.
With an emphasis on self-awareness, small, doable steps, and a good dose of self-compassion, Patrick will help you navigate the ups and downs of breaking old habits and stepping into a stronger, clearer version of yourself for 2025.
Awesome things you'll hear about in this episode:
- Start the year by shifting your mindset to match the life you’re building.
- Be intentional about the changes you want, instead of winging it.
- Your beliefs about yourself and alcohol drive your actions, know what they are.
- Learn to spot the triggers and thought patterns that hold you back.
- Sobriety isn’t a straight line; expect some twists and turns along the way.
- Small wins matter—consistent progress beats drastic overhauls every time.
- Cut yourself some slack when things don’t go perfectly—growth isn’t about perfection.
- Visualise the version of yourself thriving without alcohol—it’s a game-changer.
- Celebrate your progress, no matter how small—it all adds up.
- Stay clear on why you’re making this change—it’ll keep you going.
This episode is like a pep talk and strategy session rolled into one. If you’re ready to rethink alcohol and start showing up as the best version of yourself in life and business, this one’s for you.
