In the fall of 2023 I was in the middle of a divorce, early in my sobriety journey, and learning how to navigate a demanding sales career without a drink in my hand. Most people thought I was making things harder on myself.
I thought I was finally making things honest.
Because I kept seeing the same thing. Men in sales ready to drop the habit but unsure how. Afraid of the social cost. Worried they would lose their edge. Convinced the drink was part of what made them good at the job.
It is not. I know because I tested it.
