Nick Blair - Rethinking Alcohol, Drugs & the All-or-Nothing Mentality - EP09
What if the goal isn’t to quit alcohol or drugs forever—but to build a relationship with them that doesn’t ruin your life?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Nick Blair—mentor, coach, speaker and founder of Mind Health Bender —to unpack our cultural obsession with extremes, and why the all-or-nothing approach to sobriety might be doing more harm than good.
We explore:
🔸 Why total abstinence isn’t realistic (or necessary) for everyone
🔸 How to shift from substance abuse to intentional use
🔸 Nick’s raw personal story—from full-time party guy to helping others break free from destructive patterns
🔸 The role of identity, shame, and honesty in transformation
🔸 Tools to change your relationship with alcohol and drugs—without losing yourself
If you've ever felt stuck in the grey area between wild nights and white-knuckling sobriety, this one’s for you.
