Most people think quitting alcohol is about willpower, but it's really about awareness.
In this episode highlight of North Star Conversations with Will Polston, founder of One Year No Beer Ruari Fairbairns breaks down the deeper psychology behind our relationship with drinking—why we reach for a glass, what we're actually searching for, and how understanding our triggers can transform the way we cope, relax, and connect. From using alcohol-free alternatives to exploring the real roots of anxiety and restlessness, he reveals how alcohol doesn't soothe our emotions and instead fuels them.
Through practical steps and powerful reframes, he shows how to replace old habits with healthier rewards, from movement and meditation to rest and routine.
It's not just about removing alcohol; it's about rediscovering clarity, calm, and control in every part of life.
