Cue the December madness
Diving into the December madness, it's not just about fairy lights and mince pies, right?
For anyone juggling high-functioning addiction, it's more like tiptoeing through a minefield:
Office parties (oh, the joy!)
Christmas Eve (cheers, anyone?)
New Year's Eve (the big countdown)
The big day itself (turkey and temptations)
New Year's Day (for the truly hardcore)
So, what’s tying all these together? It's a cocktail of alcohol and white powder. And no, I'm not talking about the snow...
Most people are thinking, "Should I even bother quitting now with all these temptations?"
But here's a twist: Right now is the BEST time to grab the wheel.
Let's rewind to November 2021.
I'm knee-deep in a personal crisis, with all these bottled-up emotions making a grand escape.
I meet a bunch of psychotherapists from Manchester University.
What starts as a networking event morphs into an all-night, cocaine-fuelled rager.
Ready for sobriety? Nah, not yet. But I did see a flicker of hope for something better.
In a raw session with my therapist, I drop the bomb: "Hugh, I think I'm depressed."
He throws me a lifeline:
A "reset process" – time to reboot mentally, physically and arguably spiritually.
Hugh's thinking 90 days, but with my therapist graduation looming and a shot at flipping my life script, I up the ante to a full year.
That session was life changing.
Fast forward, and here I am, two years clean.
Tough? Hell yeah.
Worth it? Best thing I’ve ever done.
So, here's what I'm throwing your way:
Why wait for some arbitrary date to start changing your game?
If you're itching for a change, jump on it now.
Cutting back over the holidays? Sounds tough, but it makes the following 12 months a whole lot easier.
Trust me.
It’s about choosing your health and peace over going with the flow.
Every day you stick with it, you're levelling up – more aware, more in control.
And when everyone else is fucking up their New Year's resolutions, you? You'll be light-years ahead, my friend.

*cue the smug face*
So… done with letting the calendar boss you around?
If you're ready to take control, I’ve got just the thing. My group coaching program is open – but only for 6 more days. 1 of the 5 remain.ing spot's yours for £25. Hit me with an "I'M IN", and I’ll get you all the details
Loving you,
Dan
