Do you actually know how to rest?

In this episode of 420 Reasons Why I Quit Drinking, I take a deep dive into the difference between resting and recovering. Back when I was drinking, I told myself I was taking a day to “rest” after a night out—but really, I was just trying to survive the hangover. As James Corden put it, “we’re borrowing from tomorrow,” and I was overdrawing the account.

Anxiety, nausea, and guilt would keep me glued to the couch, mindlessly scrolling and waiting to feel human again—wasting entire days I’d never get back.

Since quitting, I’ve discovered what true rest and real living feel like. Now I start my mornings with prayer, movement, nourishment, gratitude, and inspiration. I’m no longer running on empty—I’m building momentum.

So I’ll ask you: What percent of your potential are you living in today?
