Ruari Fairbairns, Founder of One Year No Beer discusses how you can unleash your human potential and healing with a break from alcohol. Coming from a heavy drinking culture in London, Ruari went from being a heavy-drinking broker to an alcohol-free broker. Ruari initiated his alcohol-free days when he signed up for an anger management course. He wanted to prove that alcohol had nothing to do with his relationship challenges with his wife and why it was down to her anger! Little did he know, that it was his own drinking that led to their relationship problems. He decided to quit alcohol for 90 days and has continued, other than very special occasions. His life has transformed, his family's life has transformed, and his company has transformed the lives of 16,000 members so far.  2.20 – Friction in his relationship with his wife as a broker - “business is lubricated by alcohol” 3.00 – Wanted to prove that alcohol WASN’T the problem 3.20 – Discovered the 2 biggest instigators of anger.
