192. From Chaotic Party Boy to Connected & Present with Johnathon Dowling

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick is joined by Johnathon, a father of four, business owner, and celebrating 20 months sober.

Get ready to hear Johnathon open up about his journey from a high-functioning party lifestyle to a disengaged stay-at-home drinker and the emotional awakening that came once he stopped using alcohol.

He shares how alcohol slowly took over his life, numbing not only his emotions but also his presence with loved ones. He had become a part-time dad and partner and didn't like where it was heading.

We explore the the sports culture of his youth to the corporate world of mandatory pints, Johnathon reflects on how normalised drinking was/is and how hard it was to imagine life without it.

Here are some of the awesome topics they get into:

- The emotional cost of being “the joker” at the pub.

- How fatherhood helped him face the reality of his drinking.

- The lies, the hangovers, and the resentment that came with alcohol.

- What it really means to reconnect with emotions as a man.

- The incredible highs and real life challenges of early sobriety.

- His passion project: launching Sober AF Dating, a sober-first community for connection and love.

This episode is an inspiring reminder that it's never too late to turn things around and that sobriety offers more than just a break from booze; it brings back life. 🙌
