On Thursday, slightly out of breath and very hot, I walked over the top of the O2 arena in London!
As I looked at the city, a shiver went down my spine as I was reminded of my booze fuelled broking days.
Then I smiled.
And looked over at my daughter, who was with me at the top, and I felt so grateful.
I never thought I would be able to leave that world.
I thought I was stuck in a career that was making me sick.
Drinking too much, stressed, unhappy and unfulfilled.
Then, out of desperation rather than skill, I trained as a coach, and my life was changed.
The skills I learned helped me to quit alcohol, and slowly everything changed.
I felt my confidence return and eventually found the courage to leave the city to start my own coaching business.
Here I was 11 years later with my wonderful daughter in the sunshine, feeling on top of the world.
I felt so proud that my girl has never really known a dad who drank.
Only a Dad who is up for a laugh, healthy, happy, following his dreams and loves an adventure.
Although I'm not sure he loves the adventure as much as I do, as I usually drag her along!
What I realised as I looked out at London was that the world has changed.
I believe times up on alcohol.
And we are at the vanguard of something special.
A revolution that has taken hundreds of years to happen.
And you are part of this alcohol-free revolution!!
You are totally ahead of the game!!
Your friends and family will look back on these days and know you were the first to lead the way.
Think about this - How many times in life do you get a chance to say, you changed the world a little?
Archimedes said, “Give me a lever long enough and I shall move the world”
We are the lever!
And we have moved the world's relationship with alcohol, and it's never going back!
What a win.
So today I wanted to say thank you to you personally!!
Thank you for being part of the movement, making a difference to millions of people's lives.
Keep rocking it Dryy.
Your Coach
Andy
PS - Closing soon - Train with me in April.
At some point on your alcohol-free adventure, you will want to give back. I think this is the most important moment! Follow this impulse; you never know where it will take you—I am a great example of this.
So, if you want to learn the skills of a coach, to give back, and make a real contribution to this short and precious life, come and train with me in April before the final spaces are filled!
