About this episode

In this special Begin Again Moments episode for Alcohol Awareness Week, we bring together two honest conversations about changing your relationship with alcohol, and discovering what life can look like on the other side. Spencer Matthews reflects on his journey from destructive drinking to a healthier, more intentional life. He shares how becoming a husband, father and entrepreneur transformed his priorities, why understanding the science behind alcohol changed his perspective, and how protecting everything he's built now matters more than chasing another night out. Ruari Fairbairns, founder of One Year No Beer, challenges the way we think about alcohol. He explains why the conversation shouldn't just be about addiction, but about what alcohol may be quietly taking away from all of us, from our energy and health to our relationships, happiness and potential. He shares the surprising benefits he experienced after changing his own drinking habits, and why even small changes can have a profound impact. Together, these moments offer a thoughtful, judgement-free look at alcohol, encouraging us to ask not just what we're giving up, but what we might gain.
