How To Go Dry & Overcome Habitual Drinking: Sean Robinson

In the latest episode of the Simply Fit Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sean Robinson.

Sean Robinson is a volunteer firefighter, father, husband & author of the book ‘Going Dry.’

In 2021, Sean found himself weighing 320lbs (that’s 145kg) and reached his personal rock bottom.

He knew things needed to change and started by taking a break from drinking alcohol.

Sean started journaling and kept a record of the challenges he faced and how he overcame the pressures of going back to old habits and routines.

He ended up doing this for an entire year and wrote a book about his journey to going dry, fast forward to the end of 2023, and Sean is still sober and has very much transformed who he is, and that’s what we discuss in today’s episode.

In this episode, you can expect to learn:

What led Sean to realising that his relationship with alcohol was not a healthy one, and how can you spot this in yourself?

How to deal with the social side of things, especially when you’ve been drinking for so long.

Along with what other things you can lean on whilst you’re transitioning away from alcohol and how to stick with this long term.

So, without further ado, Sean Robinson
