Danny continued: 'Instead of constantly avoiding discomfort I'm facing it every single day BY CHOICE and becoming a better human, partner, son and

father because of it.
'I know that it's 'socially acceptable' to drink.
'And I'm not here to say that anyone else needs to cut it out of their life completely either.
'But running away from discomfort because it doesn't 'feel nice' in the moment is the fastest way to eliminate your self esteem and completely feel inadequate in life.'
