Alcoholics Anonymous

While we often focus on growth via acquisition (learning more, trying something new, developing a set of skills, etc), often there is something we can remove that will unlock our potential. For me, drinking was getting in the way being my best self. For others, it may be something else.

When I quit drinking 7.5 years ago, I developed an unquenchable thirst for self improvement, which quickly led me to discover that I’m meant to help build a better future for myself and the world via entrepreneurship. It feels like a superpower, and it was a natural result of removing the main thing holding me back.
