S3 Ep169: Ian Thurlbeck: Four Years AF!

Over The Influence: The Alcohol Free Podcast

Our community member Ian Thurlbeck is back for his third round in the OTI ring!
We spoke to Ian after one year, then two years and so now we're catching up with him again after four years to find out what alcohol free life is like for him further down the road.
We chat about the new habits he has formed as a result of ditching alcohol and how the integration into alcohol free wasn't the shock he suspected that it might be.
If you're inspired by Ian's story, then we're sure he'd love to meet you! We're very lucky that Ian hosts regular Zoom calls for us in our OTI Community, and you can find all of the details below if you think connection could be the missing piece of the puzzle for you.
