Kyle Hunt

Twelve years ago, you couldn’t spot me without a drink in my hand.

Six nights a week.
Out with friends.
Partying like the world was ending.
Because that was just “being social,” right?

2 weeks ago, I went out with a big group of guys.
Heavy hitters in my industry.
Drinks everywhere.
Shots going around like candy.

And me?
I had zero urge to join in.

So, what changed?

Simple.
I met my wife.

She never touched alcohol.
(No objection to it, just never wanted it).

Our early dates?
I felt like the odd one out, always ordering a drink while she just smiled and sipped water.
To be honest, it made me pay attention to my habits for the first time.

Over time, things shifted.
One less drink here, one less there.
The wild nights faded.
Now, it’s maybe a drink or two, and only for a real celebration.

Turns out, the right person doesn’t just accept you - they actually make you better, whether you realize it or not.

Wild how someone else’s example can rewrite your own story.

Ever had someone change your life without trying?
Share yours or tag them.
