This week on No More Booze, I’m joined by Matt Wing @midlife.mentor, who’s two and a half years alcohol-free, for a raw and really honest conversation about what it looks like to quit after decades of all or nothing drinking. Matt shares how alcohol became his go-to coping mechanism for a life lived in fear, anxiety and self-loathing and how the simple rule of don’t have the first drink helped change everything. We also get into the midlife void that opens up when booze is gone, why structure and routine matter so much (especially with ADHD) and what it actually feels like to get busy living again.Matt is a midlife mentor who spent 25 years stuck in the cycle so many high-performing adults know well — stress, success and the 4PM drink that slowly becomes non-negotiable. Diagnosed with ADHD at 52, everything finally made sense. Now, Matt helps midlife men and women understand why their brain reaches for alcohol — and how to break that loop without willpower, labels, or extreme methods. He works with clients through 1:1 coaching and his online course, Stop Drinking the ADHD Way, helping people achieve what years of trying — and even rehab — couldn’t. His message is clear: You don’t need to hit rock bottom. You need a better system.
