Today we have Wendall. He took his last drink on June 13, 2019.  This is his story. On today's episode Paul talks about the 5 responses you get when you tell people you don't drink.  He also discusses what you do when you accidently post on social media that you no longer drink.  The 5 responses:  70% of the time you hear total support, "Wow that's so cool, because I want you to be the best version of you."   20% of the time the response will be that the person you told has a family member or close friend that has also quit drinking alcohol.    5% of the time you will get bombarded with questions as to why you don't drink.    4% of the time they will be supportive but will no longer be a part of your life, drinking was the reason they were.    1% of the time they will not be supportive of your decision to ditch the booze.    [22:30] Paul introduces Wendall.    Wendall lives in Toronto Ontario, Canada.  He is 42 years old and is a director, producer, and cinematographer of documentaries.  Wendall is married an
