Beyond the Glass Project

The Beyond the Glass Project

A shift in clarity, culture and self.

Beyond the Glass Project is an ongoing exploration of what happens when we step away from what’s expected. Away from the glass, the bottle, the rituals — and maybe also the lens we’ve looked through. Toward something more honest, more awake, and maybe even more ourselves.

To go “beyond the glass” is to question what we’ve been pouring into ourselves — and what we’ve been seeing the world through. It’s about stepping back from the comfort of repetition and stepping into the sharp clarity that comes when both the drink and the filter are removed. The glass we put down is also the one we begin to see through.

This is not a recovery platform. It’s not a club. It’s not a brand. It’s a project. One that can end, shift, pause, grow — just like you.

    • Is Alcoholism a Disease?

      I’ve thought about this for a long time and had many debates. Is Alcoholism a disease – and if so, can it be cured?I would say: yes. And no. Gabor Maté says: Addiction is neither a choice nor a disease. It’s an attempt to solve a problem that is rooted in trauma.Yet we judge people for…

    • The Self in Fragments

      A good start. Or pour a sip. Moving. Performing. Drinking. It worked. Till it didn’t. The thought that alcohol was becoming a problem had been hanging out rent-free in my mind for a while. Quiet at first. Then louder and louder. Three years ago, I started having panic attacks—big, breathless ones. Out of nowhere. They…
