The person you want to become
is closer than you think.
I'm Jeff Schiesser. I had a good job, a loving wife, two kids, and a drinking problem I was in denial about. Until it was impossible to deny. Then I stopped. And everything changed.
Nobody staged an intervention.
- I Googled “Am I an alcoholic?” about 900 billion times.
- I was too proud to go to meetings.
- I made promises I knew I wouldn't keep.
- I lived in a fog I couldn't escape.
- I eventually got tired of the same cycle and figured it out one day at a time.
- Since the middle of 2023, my life has changed dramatically.
“Identity is more malleable than you think. It's one decision, repeated, until it becomes who you are.”
— Jeff Schiesser
