| Heather - Sober in Hull, Sober Holidays and an Alcohol-Free Christmas | 26 Aug 2024 | 00:50:18 | |
We spoke to Heather, who is currently 9 months and 20 days sober this week. After being a lifelong binge drinker who "lived for the weekend", she finally decided to call it quits, after one embarrassing moment to many after her son's birthday. We take a look back at the moments that led her to give up alcohol and that brought her to her personal sober tipping point where drinking was more painful than getting sober. We discuss how amazing sober holidays are and how they compare to drunken holidays. Although we are only in August, we also talk about how she had her first sober Christmas and how it was a game changer. 💪For More Life-Changing Resources: 📚 Check out our bestselling book series to help you in your sobriety journey: https://amzn.to/4dqXIDC 🌐 Join our supportive community: https://www.soberonadrunkplanet.com/community/ 📘 Download our FREE e-book, "7 Sober Secrets You Can't Ignore": https://www.soberonadrunkplanet.com/free-resources#7SoberSecrets 👍If you enjoyed this video, give it a like and follow for more! | |||

I just wanted to celebrate the fact that I have got my first business loan approved after going through debt relief in 2016.

| My addiction - My personal story of going through addiction, recovery and building a life beyond sobriety. | 01 Jul 2020 | 00:40:03 | |
This is my first podcast where I talk openly about my addiction, recovery and how I am building a life that I never believed I could attain in addiction. I hope the podcasts provide hope and inspiration for people that listen as I know the biggest thing that made me realise I needed help was listening to addicts and relating to their former lives. I talk about my addiction to alcohol, drugs and gambling in a particularly dark time for me when I was 28 and how rehab saved my life. I talk about my experience of going to Alcoholics anonymous and doing the 12 step programme. I also talk about how I feel out of favour with the programme and found sobriety connection in other ways. Sobriety is an amazing power to have and it has given me the strength and courage to start my own business, Fitology (which is now Addicted2Life Ltd!). Through Life, Fitness and Nutrition coaching I want to help others make the same transformational changes they want to with their own lives as I have with mine. I am so grateful for my recovery, my parents for supporting me and if you need help, reach out. The worst thing I did in my addiction was not ask for help sooner.

| Warren - Alcoholics Anonymous saved my life but I no longer attend, using nature as a force for sobriety (mainly fishing!) and going to therapy at 46 years young. | 02 Sep 2024 | 00:59:55 | |
This week we speak to Warren about how Alcoholics Anonymous saved his life and how grateful he is for attending those meetings in his early sobriety from alcohol addiction. We speak about what he learnt and how he still uses those tools today, even though he no longer attends meetings and his reasons for not going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings anymore. We talk about "geographical" alcoholics and how jumping from Chef job to job while drunk and high was what active addiction looked like for him. We also talk about geographicals to other countries and understanding that it doesn't matter where you run to - addiction will always follow if you haven't done the work. He shares how he is now in therapy, 3 years into his sobriety, to help unravel his past and growing up with an alcoholic father. 💪More Life-Changing Resources For Your Sobriety:📚 Check out our bestselling book series to help you in your sobriety journey: https://amzn.to/4dqXIDC 🌐 Join our supportive community: https://www.soberonadrunkplanet.com/community/ 📘 Download our FREE e-book, "7 Sober Secrets You Can't Ignore": https://www.soberonadrunkplanet.com/free-resources#7SoberSecrets 👍If you enjoyed this video, give it a like and follow for more! | |||
