Dan Rankin (aka Trials)

It's so foreign to them.

And that's worth every single part of me undertaking these little journeys.

And how about the drinking?

What was the point when you got the insight?

Because when you're in that world of performing and there's the rider, there is that culture of heroic drinking and all of that.

And it's like, oh, I got so pissed, all that.

What point did you get the insight that this is not good and this has to stop?

It was 1000% my wife's idea.

All the good things are in my life.

We were just over five years ago on New Year's Eve.

Me and her at the back of our house, like two bottles of wine.

She never had a problem with it.

Like she was a person who could socially drink and then put it away.

Like if I opened a bottle of wine, that's getting finished and I'm probably going to go find some more.

You know, like it just didn't stop if I started.

That night she just mentioned it off the cuff.

Like I might stop tomorrow.

I feel like I'm going to feel like crap in the morning.

And I was like, yeah, okay.

And I said to her, I am not going to quit, but I won't drink at home.
