Sober October and Sobriety Revisited (Ep. 157)

Title: Sober October and Sobriety Revisited

Description:

In this episode of Jim’s Take, executive coach and Bellwether founder Jim Frawley shares the story of why he quit drinking - and what happened next. It wasn’t about hitting rock bottom or joining a 12-step program. It was about accountability, honesty, and realizing he no longer liked what drinking brought to his life. From those first awkward days of saying “no thanks” to a beer, to rediscovering presence and clarity, Jim’s reflections offer both humor and hard truth about what it means to grow up and take control of your choices.

Listeners will learn:

• How accountability with someone you trust keeps you honest.
• Why giving up drinking leads to less stress and greater self-respect.
• How to handle social situations when you no longer drink - and why most people don’t care.
• The connection between self-care, maturity, and authenticity.
• Why quitting alcohol ranks among Jim’s top three life decisions.

Whether you’re trying Sober October, considering Dry January, or just questioning your habits, Jim’s insights will help you approach change without shame or pretense.
