What Nobody Tells You About Quitting Drinking | Emotional Sobriety with Allie Bailey

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 06:00:00 GMT

In this episode of One for the Road, Sober Dave sits down with Allie Bailey, ultra runner, running coach, speaker and author, for an honest conversation about what really happens after you quit drinking.

This is emotional sobriety. The uncomfortable bits. The parts of recovery nobody warns you about.

Allie started drinking at 14, spent years as a functioning alcoholic in the music industry, hit rock bottom in her late thirties and quit without AA or formal support. She has been sober four and a half years.

They talk about losing your identity when you stop drinking, relationships and intimacy sober, attachment styles, core values and why the resilience built through years of drinking can actually serve you in sober life.

If you are thinking about quitting alcohol, in early sobriety, or well into your journey and wondering why it still feels hard, this episode is for you.

Grey Area Drinking: When You’re Not Rock Bottom But Not Okay

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 06:00:00 GMT

In this episode, I sit down with Steve Smith to talk about a side of drinking that often gets overlooked.

Life can look good on the outside—work, responsibilities, everything in place—but underneath, something feels off.

Low energy. Poor sleep. Always needing something to take the edge off at the end of the day.

Not rock bottom. But not where you want to be either.

We talk about what it looks like to question your drinking, even if you wouldn’t call it a serious alcohol problem, and how that “grey area drinking” can quietly hold you back.

Some of the things we get into:

The subtle signs alcohol is holding you back
Feeling “fine” but not fully yourself
Using alcohol to cope with stress and shut the day off
What actually changes when you quit drinking

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s time to stop drinking, or asked yourself, “Do I have a drinking problem?”—this one will probably hit.

Going alcohol-free didn’t change who Steve was — it changed what he believed was possible.

From Blackout Drunk to 7 Years Sober: Sue Tickle's Story of Quit Drinking

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 06:00:00 GMT

Sue Tickle was a senior NHS manager, a mum of two, and secretly drinking two to three bottles of wine every single night. Nobody at work knew. Nobody stepped in. Then one morning after blacking out at her sister's hen party, her mum rang and said five words that changed her life. "You're turning into your dad."

Sue never touched another drink. That was over seven years ago. In this episode she and Sober Dave talk about what it really looks like to function on the outside while falling apart behind closed doors, the grief that sent her spiraling, self sabotage in sobriety, and why putting the glass down is only the beginning. Sue now runs women's wellness retreats in Bali and coaches others through sobriety using breathwork and sound healing.

Oisin Murphy: Champion Jockey Who Had to Quit Drinking to Survive

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 06:00:00 GMT

What happens when you're winning championships but blacking out every single night? Five-time champion jockey Oisin Murphy opens up about the moment he knew he had to quit drinking. He started drinking at home alone in 2017 to escape the pressure of racing, texting his driver to pick up bottles of vodka before he even left the track. He convinced himself alcohol was helping him perform.

By COVID he was drinking four or five bottles of rosé a day, and years of blackouts left him unable to remember where he had ridden the day before. After a drink-driving crash in April 2025 where his passenger was rushed to hospital, he finally accepted that moderation would never be possible for him.

Now sober through AA and taking it one day at a time, Oisin shares what recovery really looks like when the whole world is watching.

From Binge Drinking Mom to Sober Traveler: A Sobriety Story

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 06:00:00 GMT

Kate Renninson spent decades as the one who would drink everyone under the table and wore it like a badge of honor. This is a sobriety story that so many women will recognize. Growing up with a difficult mother who never showed her warmth, Kate found that alcohol gave her the attention and acceptance she craved. She carried that into marriage, motherhood, and the whole mummy wine culture of Sunday roasts and bottomless brunches, blacking out almost every time she went out and waking up to dread and sticky weed on her dress. Everything changed when she picked up Clare Pooley's Sober Diaries off a stranger's wall in Wimbledon and read it on a trip to Dubrovnik. She got on the flight home knowing something was different and has not looked back since. Now over four years sober, Kate says she finally feels calm, content, and like she is actually seeing the world for the first time.

They Said Liver Cirrhosis Would Kill Me in Two Years

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 06:00:00 GMT

Liver cirrhosis nearly took everything from Dan Sheridan, and the moment doctors told him he might not survive the night changed his life forever. Dan grew up feeling like he never fitted in, lost his dad to cancer, and spent years drinking 18 cans of Stella a day just to stop the shaking. At 40 he was told he had cirrhosis of the liver and two years to live, but he walked straight to Sainsbury's and bought 36 tins. It took collapsing in hospital, flatlining, and waking up to machines and tubes before something finally shifted. A woman named Nula at his transplant assessment told him the hardest truth he ever heard: not drinking and being sober are not the same thing. Dan got his transplant, found love with his wife Clara through TikTok, and is now five and a half years sober and grateful for every single day. You can follow Dan's story on his social media where he shares openly about recovery and organ donation awareness.

She Quit Drinking When She Realized She Was Killing Her Kids' Mom

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 06:00:00 GMT

This episode is for every mom who has ever rushed the bedtime story so she could get back to the wine. Caitlyn's story of finally choosing to quit drinking will stop you in your tracks. She grew up moving between 17 houses and nine schools, started drinking at 10, was smoking weed daily by 16, and fell into cocaine in a Kensington penthouse before she was 18. For years she hid her addiction behind the mommy wine culture, sneaking drinks at school pickup and wishing her kids would just go to bed so she could carry on. One day sitting in her garden, it hit her like a freight train: she was killing her children's mom. That moment sent her to a 12 step meeting where she heard people saying out loud the things she had only ever thought. Caitlyn is now over three years clean, sponsors other women in recovery, takes meetings into women's prisons, and is studying to become an addiction therapist. You can follow her on social media where she shares her story to help other women know they are not alone.

Xmas Bonus Episode with William Porter

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 06:00:00 GMT

Christmas can be one of the hardest times of the year when alcohol is everywhere. In this Christmas special of One For The Road, I’m joined by William Porter, author of Alcohol Explained, for an honest, grounded conversation about navigating the festive season without losing yourself to drinking. We talk about staying sober when the pressure is high, family dynamics are charged, and routines are out the window. And importantly, we also explore how to navigate Christmas if you’re not quite ready to stop drinking yet, but want to avoid going too far, waking up with regret, or falling back into old patterns.

This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness, choice, and self-respect during a season that can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or just questioning your relationship with alcohol, this one’s for you.

Ash Mulimba

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT

On this seasons finale I am joined by Ash who is a 30-year-old musician whose journey from chaos to clarity is nothing short of inspiring.

Introduced to drugs and alcohol at just 12 years old, he used them as an escape from a turbulent family life and undiagnosed ADHD. The underground London rave scene became his refuge, a place where he could feel free, yet where his struggles quietly deepened.

By 17, Ash had formed a band that saw early success and international recognition. But behind the scenes, fame magnified his addictions to sex, drugs, and alcohol. Immersed in the darker side of the music industry, he found himself unprepared for the emotional and spiritual toll it would take.

At the start of this year, the loss of a close friend to cancer became a turning point. After a two-day bender, Ash broke down in his room and instinctively turned to prayer: “Lord, please help me get sober because I can’t do it on my own.”

Though he had grown up in the church, Ash had drifted away from faith, until his sister invited him to a conference at her church that same week. There, he was prayed over and made a powerful commitment to change.Since that day, Ash hasn’t looked back. He has been sober ever since, and his life has transformed in every way,spiritually, mentally, and creatively. His story is one of redemption, resilience, and renewed purpose.

Alexi Kruiz

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT

On this weeks episode of One For The Road I am joined by Alexi Kruiz, a UK emotional being born to two different cultures, family split between love being expressed in chaos or avoidance. Using alcohol as a coping mechanism to feel more confident, feeling like the odd one out with sensory sensitivity.

As time went on, gravitation towards chaos kept reappearing as it felt so familiar, though there were stints of sobriety throughout teens and twenties. Events such as having her mother become terminally ill, losing her first love, and being attacked abroad kept the dysregulation in motion, and without the right tools, alcohol and escape felt like the easiest way to cope. The grief became part of the addiction cycle, and it took lockdown, living alone, and a big awakening to moving into a guardianship of 40 people to bring up all the unprocessed feelings and emotions through all sorts of triggers. Once opening their own low-sensory hair business, which led to being headhunted to be a lead stylist, Alexi moved into their own home. The sudden loss of her stepmother to a long relationship with alcohol caused the family home to be lost, and Alexi’s flat was filled with everything from the past. Overwhelmed, drinking came back as a coping mechanism — it all got too much. Waking up on the floor of the bathroom, two black eyes and a blackout, she knew that could have been her last day earth-side. Enough was enough. The victim of all things leading to that point had to be fully accepted with love. A late diagnosis of ADHD, self-work, and support from work, family, and friends — community really is key.

Love is and can be peaceful. The search for chaos or comfort doesn’t need to be the constant switch anymore. Chaos is now just an amazing tool and can be something powerfully productive. Being the love she needed will always be a reminder that we are our own remedy.

Brad Garrett on Sobriety, Surrender, and Being a Better Dad

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 06:00:00 GMT

Brad Garrett has been making people laugh for decades, but behind the comedy was a man who loved numbing more than anything. In this conversation Brad opens up about growing up with a mother addicted to sleeping pills and a bipolar father he adored, being bullied as a giant awkward kid, and turning to comedy just to survive. He was a high functioning alcoholic and daily weed smoker who could do a bottle of vodka and ask what's next. After wrapping the first season of Everybody Loves Raymond, he hit his bottom on a beach in Hawaii and decided he wanted to be alive and be a father more than he wanted to keep numbing. Brad shares how sobriety unlocked a creative fearlessness he never had while using, why surrender is not the same as giving up, and how his wife IsaBela was the first person who never held up a mirror but never judged him either. 28 years sober and happier than ever at 65, Brad reminds us that the window between wanting to quit and wanting to continue is painfully small, so if it opens, take it.

Alex Leigh

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 05:00:00 GMT

On this weeks episode of One For The Road I am joined by Alex Leigh, a former 90s international fashion model who once lived a life of excess, glamour, and indulgence. But it wasn’t the runways or wild nights that finally brought her down — it was the “mummy needs wine” culture that quietly stole her peace. Now over two and a half years sober, Alex has reclaimed her life and uses her social media platforms to inspire mid-forties mums who feel they’ve lost themselves. Drawing on her own journey of transformation, she trained as a certified sleep coach — after years of missed sleep herself — and now helps others unlock rest, resilience, and the best version of themselves.

Justin Bone

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 05:00:00 GMT

On this weeks episode of One For The Road I am joined by Justin Bone, a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for more than 3,000 days. Once one of the fastest young athletes in England, setting a county sprint record that still stands, his early life was full of promise, discipline, and success. But when his athletic career ended, he filled the void with drink, drugs, and the nightlife industry, spending 25 years running bars, clubs, and restaurants while slowly losing control.

At his lowest point, Justin was homeless, living in a garage with no water or electricity, drinking multiple bottles of wine a day. That’s where his recovery began, attending 135 AA meetings in 100 days, starting each morning at the gym, and gradually rebuilding his self-respect. In that garage, he rebuilt not just his body but his life.

Today, Justin is over seven years sober, vegan, and passionate about fitness, yoga, and plant-based living. Alongside his partner Natalie, he founded Vetomeato, a plant-based food brand, and Super Sober Life, an initiative to inspire others to choose health, self-care, and purpose over addiction. His story is one of redemption, resilience, and the power of starting again.

Nina

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Welcome back to this weeks episode of One For The Road. I am starting the season off with the lovely Nina. Nina grew up between Hong Kong and London in what felt like a happy family life. It wasn’t until she returned to Hong Kong after boarding school that she became aware of her mother’s drinking, which had started to escalate. Her teenage years were turbulent, marked by her parents’ divorce and the beginning of her own drinking journey. Boarding school offered comfort and structure, but being away from home also gave her greater freedom to drink.

After travelling, Nina went on to university before living and working in London, where the workplace drinking culture was strong. Following a breakup at 29, she found herself living alone, and her drinking increased significantly.Life took a turn when she met her husband, who lived abroad, and together they eventually settled in London. Motherhood brought both joy and deep challenges — including the heartbreak of losing a child and the isolation of COVID — all against the backdrop of “mummy wine time” culture.

When perimenopause began last year, Nina noticed how alcohol was worsening her hangovers and fuelling crippling anxiety. In January, she decided to stop drinking, and since then her life has transformed. Today, she describes herself as calmer, more joyful, open to new experiences, and truly in love with her sober life.

This week on One For The Road I am joined by Annie Knowles who is a certified sobriety, confidence, and life coach who helps busy women, especially those in healthcare and public services, rethink their relationship with alcohol, without pressure or shame. After more than 33 years working in the NHS, Annie experienced post-pandemic burnout and decided in 2021 to step away from alcohol. That decision changed everything. Her coaching brand, Sober Rainbow Rider, was inspired by the pandemic rainbows and the spirit of cheering each other on from our doorsteps. That same spirit runs through her work today, encouraging clients to find their own ‘pot of gold’ on the other side of alcohol. Now alcohol-free for over three years, Annie supports others through the ups and downs of midlife, burnout recovery, and navigating stress without relying on a glass to unwind. She co-hosts the Blue Light Emergency Services and NHS Live Alcohol Experiment, and she collaborates with the NHS drug and alcohol services to deliver alcohol awareness talks to medical professionals, introducing grey area drinking. She works one-on-one and in groups to guide clients toward greater balance, calm, and clarity.

On this weeks episode of One For The Road I am joined by Kate Annetts who is a journalist, disability rights advocate and community engagement facilitator who lives in Brighton. In her early 20s Kate was partying hard every weekend and some weeknights when her physical health began to decline. She appeared drunk even when she wasn't (although she admits that wasn't often). It took seven years for her to be diagnosed with friedreich's ataxia, by which time her mental health was much worse and as a result she was self-medicating daily with alcohol. Kate is just coming up to two years sober and in that time she has completed a masters degree in journalism. Her physical and mental health have improved more than she could ever have imagined.

While UnashamED began by supporting young people and educators, Sarah’s work has expanded to focus strongly on the alcohol-free community. As someone who lives alcohol-free herself, she specialises in helping individuals explore and untangle the often-hidden shame connected to drinking culture, sobriety, and identity. Through coaching and training, she opens up vital conversations that empower people to thrive without alcohol.Sarah holds an MSc in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, with research centred on the lack of shame-awareness in education systems. Her work is rooted in the belief that shame resilience is a foundational skill—not just for students and teachers, but for anyone navigating life, especially those choosing to live alcohol-free. Based in the UK, Sarah champions compassionate, shame-free education and transformation in schools, workplaces, and everyday lives.

Olivia Taylor

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Welcome back to another season of One For The Road. We are kicking this season off with Olivia Taylor who is a 30-year-old mother, recovered addict, and certified coach specialising in addiction recovery and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). After spending years trapped in cycles of trauma, mental illness, and alcohol dependency, Olivia knows firsthand the pain, chaos, and isolation that come with addiction and the strength it takes to heal.

Following countless failed attempts at sobriety, she reached a turning point that led her to true recovery not just from substances, but from the patterns and beliefs that kept her stuck. Through radical honesty, emotional work, and a complete mindset shift, Olivia learned how to live in the present, embrace discomfort, and build a life grounded in purpose and connection. Today, she uses her lived experience and professional training to guide others on their path to healing.

Olivia is passionate about breaking shame, building community, and helping others reclaim their lives. Whether through speaking, coaching, or podcasting, her mission is to remind people that recovery is possible and that it goes far beyond just putting down the drink.”

Millie Macintosh Opens Up About Her Alcohol Journey, Bad Drunk, and Finding Freedom in Sobriety

Fri, 31 Jan 2025 06:00:00 GMT

In this episode, Sober Dave sits down with model, TV personality, and author Millie Macintosh to talk about her raw and honest journey from her first drink at 12 years old to getting alcohol free on August 25, 2022.

Millie opens up about how bullying and unresolved trauma in her teens led to years of drinking to blackout, the shame spiral that came with it, and how her time on Made in Chelsea only made things worse. She talks about using alcohol and Xanax to cope with anxiety, the moment motherhood made her confront the real cost of her drinking, and the panic attack on holiday that finally made her say enough.

But getting sober was only the beginning. Millie shares how she hit a wall months in, experienced burnout and health anxiety, and had to go back to therapy and medication before she was truly ready to do the deep work and face the trauma she had been running from since she was a teenager.

She also talks about her book Bad Drunk, how writing it brought everything back to the surface, the medical insight from Dr. Ellie Cannon on what alcohol actually does to your brain and body, and why she now uses her platform to help other people feel less alone in their own drinking struggles.

If you have ever felt trapped in that cycle of drinking, shame, anxiety, and trying to quit but not quite getting there, this one is for you.

Bad Drunk by Millie Macintosh is available now:

Alison Calder

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 06:00:00 GMT

On this weeks episode of One For The Road we are joined by Alison Calder. Alison shares her journey to sobriety from walking into AA at the age of 24, to finally stopping drinking at the age of 39, and everything in-between. Alison talks about how working in the wine industry, and then owning her own wine company impacted her own drinking, and how she finally managed to remove alcohol completely. She puts her sobriety down to finding acceptance, creating a life she doesn’t want to escape from, bringing in strong daily non-negotiables, finding joy in the little things and living in alignment with her values. Alison has re-trained as a positive psychology coach, specialising in helping people to stop drinking, and to re-discover themselves. This involves the deep exploratory work around the reasons that people drink, how to deal with cravings and triggers, and uncovering and working through any ambivalence that people may have around alcohol. She then works to guide clients to rediscover themselves, answering the bigger questions around who they really are, what they really want, what their values are, and what brings them joy. She does this through 1-1 coaching, group coaching, group programmes and workshops. She also works with community alcohol services which has given her even more insight into alcohol, and the impact that it has on people's lives.

Lee Anderson

Fri, 17 Jan 2025 06:00:00 GMT

On this weeks episode of One For The Road i am joined by Lee Anderson, an experienced Mindset and Wellbeing Coach, he was brought up in and around pubs where drinking was an expectation, having his first drink at 11 years old. Growing up in an environment without a dad meant he was expected to be responsible at an early age and throughout his teens and early twenties alcohol helped suppress his feelings, mask his emotions but also to make him feel more socially confident and accepted. Lee struggled with his sexuality, eventually coming out as gay in his mid twenties, got into a relationship where alcohol was a way of coping with the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour from his then partner. The breakdown of that relationship led to him losing everything he worked hard for and having to move back in with mum. He stopped drinking for a 18 months, met his now husband and outwardly life was good. Drugs and alcohol started to filter back in and life began to unravel, leading to two suicide attempts and eventually a mental breakdown. After relocated to France to start a new life his drinking became heavier and his behaviour was starting to impact his relationship and that was when he decided to go sober and repair his relationship with alcohol, he’s been sober for 4 years now and life couldn’t be better. He uses his personal and professional experience to coach, educate and support others mentally and emotionally to unlearn learnt behaviours to achieve better for themselves. Lee also hosts his own podcast called The Struggling Mind podcast where he chats to everyday people who have overcome adversity. He’s an ambassador for The Lighthouse Charity where he travels the whole of the country delivering talks to people within the construction industry about the free support available from the charity and sharing his story to inspire others to reach out for support.

Abigail Burrows

Fri, 10 Jan 2025 06:00:00 GMT

On this weeks episode of One For The Road i am joined by Abigail Burrows, a professional flute player, admits that she’s never had a healthy relationship with alcohol and started drinking at a very young age. She was an exceptionally talented child and was offered a place at a specialist music school aged 8. She had a busy international performing career throughout her childhood but in her late teens, she was drinking very heavily to cope with burn-out and guilt, unable to play the flute anymore and dropping out of the Royal College of Music.

Later in life she returned to music and even managed to stop drinking for 5 ½ years. Celebrating this achievement with a glass of champagne, she believed her bad drinking habits had been due to being young and stupid, but after that drink, her life unravelled almost immediately, and it took her 10 years to get sober again. Her drinking took a particularly dark turn after her father died of alcoholism.

Abbie is now over 1 year sober and she’s never been happier. She owes her recovery to an amazing charity called Music Support who help people working in the music and live events industry.

Donna Francis

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 06:00:09 GMT

Happy New Year and welcome back to One For The Road. We are kicking off 2025 with Donna Francis who is an award-winning British Beauty Editor living in Florida with her family. Growing up in Islington, North London, Donna's happiest memories were at her family friends' pub, where she would celebrate new year's eve and birthdays. She wasn’t a heavy drinker in her teens or twenties, but continued the family tradition of making sure everyone’s 'glass was full’ - it was how she expressed her love. Drinking became a problem during perimenopause which hit during the pandemic. The stresses of family issues and freelance life encouraged Donna to drink more, even though she knew that couldn’t tolerate it. After experiencing too many intoxicated nights that finished with vomiting and blackouts she had enough. Donna is now 6 months sober and loves sharing her sober stories and advice to her community on social media.

Will Gordon

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:00:40 GMT

On this weeks epsiode of One For The Road i am joined by Will Gordon and below he shares his story.

Hey there, I'm Will, I grew up in the suburbs of Boston, youngest of four brothers in a pretty normal family. We were all athletic and fiercely competitive, which shaped a lot of who I am today. But beneath that seemingly perfect exterior, I was fighting a battle that started way too early.

At just 14, I found myself grappling with crippling anxiety and an overwhelming desire to fit in. That's when I first turned to alcohol. It became my crutch, my liquid courage that allowed me to express the person I wanted to be without the overthinking that came with being sober. Little did I know, this "solution" would nearly cost me everything.As the years went by, my drinking got worse and worse. I lost all my close friends, my job, and my life was spiraling out of control. It all came to a head when doctors gave me the ultimate wake-up call: I had just two weeks left to live.In what I can only describe as a miracle, I received a life-saving liver and kidney transplant. Followed by what felt like endless medical complications. When I woke up, I made a solemn vow to my wife and myself – alcohol would never again control my life.But here's the thing: just because my body got fixed doesn't mean my brain and soul were magically healed. The pull to drink is all-encompassing, and staying sober is a daily practice. That's why I've dedicated my life to sharing my story and helping others avoid the same pitfalls. Now that you've seen my episode, I enthusiastically encourage you to follow my brand new YouTube channel "TheWillpowerPodcast," I'm opening up about my ongoing journey. I share the mindfulness routines, healthy habits, and goal-setting strategies that help me maintain my sobriety every single day.

If you feel so inclined, please subscribe to my YouTube channel and follow me on Instagram for daily inspiration, insights, and a reminder that you're never alone in this fight.

On this weeks episode of One For The Road i am joined by Melissa McGovern. She is a wife, Mother and most importantly a proud sober New Yorker. As a grey area drinker, who could never moderate, she found her drinking habits escalating after some deep personal losses. As the pandemic rolled on so did her drinking. At a routine doctors visit, her blood tests revealed some staggering results. She was advised to make “drastic behavioural changes” or be prescribed a slew of medications to combat her health issues. She chose to make those changes and completely turn her life around. Today she thrives as an alcohol free woman, coach and podcaster.

Phil Briggs

Fri, 25 Oct 2024 05:00:15 GMT

On this weeks episode of One For The Road i am joined by Phil Briggs who is a 54 year old make-up artist living in London who stopped drinking alcohol in April 2024. Phil was born and raised in Liverpool during the 70s and 80s and moved to live amongst the bright lights of London when he was 21 years old. Phil, like many, discovered alcohol at a young age of 15 and it soon became part of all social life both in Liverpool and following the move to London. He remembers being frequently drunk from the age of 16 when he left school and began working for a large bank. Socialising with the Liverpool banking colleagues whilst at the same time regularly having nights out on Liverpool’s gay scene, alcohol featured heavily several times per week. This continued following the move to London with new banking colleagues and a busy London gay nightlife. Social drinking continued for many years and in his 30s, Phil found drinking wine with meals indoors became an additional regular time to imbibe. In 2012, Phil was hit with a series of life-changing events including job loss, divorce, financial difficulties and bereavement. While not directly responsible for these incidents, alcohol, which had previously been reserved for socialising and enjoying with a meal, became the go to coping mechanism for difficult life events. By the time the pandemic hit in 2020, Phil was already drinking every night in increasing amounts and being alone during the pandemic it escalated to whole new levels of drinking. When a very close friend of 30 years died of Covid, Phil found dealing with the grief without being able to see anyone else, cemented very heavy, nightly drinking in place. Phil knew something had to change and after months of procrastination decided on a three month break from alcohol which turned into a realisation that the only option for him was to stop completely. It hasn’t been a simple path, with extra health problems coming to the surface and dealing with living alone where most of the heavy drinking had taken place. But research on the subject and connection with others going through the same has enabled Phil to remain alcohol free. Phil now uses his make-up skills to help those with skin conditions which cause them a loss of confidence, to use specialist skin creams to cover the conditions. Now, more than six months alcohol free, he is beginning to notice subtle but vital changes in his life and for the first time in many years is very excited about the future and finding out what he is capable of.

I was hiding my drinking from my family | This is how I quit - Simon Maguire

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 05:00:02 GMT

At 15 years old, Simon Maguire lost his mom and alcohol became how he coped.

What started as relief slowly turned into years of drinking, weight gain, and hiding how bad things had become.

By 38, everything was catching up and something had to change.

Story-Based Episode Summary

Simon’s story begins with loss. After his mother passed away, alcohol quickly became more than something social. It became a way to numb emotions he did not know how to process.

Through his teens and into adulthood, drinking became a constant. On the outside, life looked normal, but behind the scenes it was escalating. Alcohol, food, and later painkillers all became ways to cope. By his late 30s, he was drinking heavily, taking codeine, hiding it from those around him, and feeling the impact on his family, especially his kids.

The turning point came from a moment he did not expect. A simple comment from someone at work forced him to face the truth. That led to a conversation with his wife that changed everything.

What followed was not instant, but it was real. Step by step, he began to quit drinking, rebuild his habits, and take control of his life. From early mornings in a boxing gym to completing an Ironman, his journey shows what is possible in sobriety.

This is a real story of alcohol addiction, recovery, and choosing to live alcohol free.

Key Topics Covered

Using alcohol to cope with grief and trauma
How alcohol addiction develops over time
The connection between drinking, food, and emotional coping
Hiding alcohol use and recognizing the signs
The moment that leads to quitting drinking
Early sobriety challenges and building new habits
Fitness and transformation in recovery
Life after alcohol and building an alcohol free identity

Barbara Williams

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 05:00:57 GMT

Im joined on One For The Road this week by Barbara Williams who ditched alcohol in February 2021.

She grew up in the UK in the university city of Cambridge, with her parents and four sisters. Remembering that alcohol was mostly used happily at family celebrations. Barbara remembers thinking ‘I can’t wait to go out, like my older sisters’, who were going out at the weekends dancing enjoying themselves. The first time she was drunk was at 14 years old, throwing up in the street, blacking out and feeling embarrassed, being out of control drunk was not part of her teens after that incident. She recalls going to pubs in the 80s without ID ordering a malibu and coke and cycling to the pub every Friday with friends for the pub disco. After becoming a young mum shifting Barbara’s priorities meant that alcohol wasn’t prevalent during the rest of her teens. Barbara found the rave scene in the 90s, followed by noughties ‘Sex and the City’ and ‘Ladette’ culture where her drinking consumption increased from going out at the weekend binge drink to drinking at home during the week. Barbara sprinkles sober inspiration sharing her colourful posts and stories on IG @sober_in_colour

She is soon to be launching a Facebook group exclusive to women of colour www.facebook.com/groups/soberincolour

Andy Stone

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 05:00:09 GMT

This week on One For The Road i am joined by Andy Stone. After an early ADHD diagnosis in his teens Andy struggled greatly through 2 school expulsions and thus had an early introduction to drugs and alcohol. Through his 20’s and early 30’s unable to hold down a long-term job or to succeed in the classroom the shame

of failure and the guilt of under achieving caused prolonged bouts of victim mindset and poor mental health. Being unable to cope Andy sought help from both private and NHS mental health workers and was prescribed Ritalin, Valium and SSRI’s in conjunction with an ever increasing drinking tolerance and cocaine habit. Until, at the age of 34, Andy’s health reached the point that serious steps needed to be taken! Once through residential rehab and into the fellowships of AA, NA and OA Andy was then able to make a drastic recovery! On his new trajectory not only has Andy been able to educate himself as to the reasons why his neurodiversity caused him to become addicted to drugs and alcohol, but to utilize that same condition to propel him into the record books. Andy has elevated his health and fitness to the level of setting a Guinness World Record in endurance triathlons, swim with 23 species of shark without a cage and he now training to swim the English Channel later this year with plans to go on and become the first person to ‘officially’ swim the Atlantic! With a documentary of his story due out later this year, a budding career in pro speaking and mentoring neurodiverse teens in alternative education Andy is out help others to educate themselves so as no to fall into the same traps he did.

Allie Bailey

Wed, 29 May 2024 05:00:13 GMT

This week i am joined on One For The Road by Allie Bailey who is an ultrarunner, coach, speaker and podcaster who has run in some of the most extreme places in the world. In 2024 she released her first book “There is No Wall”, a brutally honest, sometimes shocking account of alcoholism, depression and severe mental breakdowns that almost cost her her life. She would like it to be known that despite this doom worthy introduction, she is “super good fun.” Allie tends to swear quite a lot. Allie was the first woman to run 100 miles across frozen Lake Khövsgöl in Mongolia and to run the full length of the Panama Canal. She has crossed the inhospitable Namib Desert three times, run the length of the Outer Hebrides and completed a 1,000-mile off-road version of the classic Land’s End to John o’Groats route in just thirty days. Allie has finished over 200 marathons and ultramarathons all over the world, but the most remarkable thing about all of these achievements is that she accomplished most of them while battling depression and alcoholism. Although running ultimately became the vehicle that helped buy Allie the time to recover from a number of severe mental health breakdowns, it did not save her. In fact, there were times when it made her battle all the more difficult. After a seismic mental health crisis in 2021, Allie finally admitted to herself and those around her that she was an alcoholic and started her recovery. She left behind a dream career with major record labels and adventure companies and now works as a coach with a broad range of runners and endurance athletes, helping them unlock their full potential.

On today’s episode on One For The Road I have to issue a trigger warning as there are discussions around child abuse and suicide. My guest on todays show today is Lucy Bruce. Lucy lives in Glasgow with her two daughters and has now been sober for 18 years. Her childhood was impacted by alcohol, violence & sexual abuse and she self-medicated with alcohol throughout her teens and early twenties until suicidal thoughts and panic attacks made her seek help to get sober. Despite removing alcohol Lucy struggled with unresolved childhood trauma & suffered from obtrusive thoughts surrounding her pregnancies until years later when she experienced MDMA Therapy and has never looked back. Lucy is a single parent, has weathered divorce, co-dependent relationships and loss but still lives a life free from alcohol. She is passionate about her children and work as an Alcohol-free coach and wants to share her story with women who may be going through similar experiences to help get rid of the stigma around the issues.

The Gavin Sisters

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 06:00:20 GMT

Welcome back to One For The Road. This week i am joined by Sharon and Lauretta, an acclaimed comedy double act who have appeared in numerous TV and stage productions, developed sitcoms with comedy giants, and written plays for the West End. Sharon and Lauretta went from red wine-drinking Chinese take-out aficionados to thriving advocates of a plant-based lifestyle. Sharon's diagnosis of a rare autoimmune disease was a turning point that led them down a path of resilience, determination, and ultimately, transformation. Sharon was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease just before her son was born over 9 years ago. She was covered from head to toe in a chronic rash, and at times was wheelchair-bound. On a concoction of very toxic drugs and steroids, she decided she needed to find another way to get better. Her sister was determined to do everything she could to help Sharon. Her husband left her at six months pregnant, and she was now looking after Sharon, her daughter, and Sharon's son. As two single Mums living together with very young children, they decided they wanted to do everything to get Sharon's health back. After extensive research and a lot of trial and error, together they transitioned into a plant-based diet with lots of nutrient-dense foods, gave up alcohol and processed foods. Lauretta retrained as a natural vegan chef concentrating on nutrition. Sharon is now off all drugs, feels better than ever, and is back running. They decided they wanted to inspire others and in 2018 set up a wellness retreat, The Detox Barn followed by launching their first product, Funki Coffee, and their hugely successful podcast - The Gavin Sisters Wellness Show.

Matt Busbridge

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 06:00:51 GMT

Thanks for tuning into this weeks epsiode of One For `The Road. This week i am joined by Matt Busbridge. Matt started drinking when he was 17 - it was something that wasn’t really of interest to him before that and he began mainly going to clubs etc and drinking maybe once a week . Drink gave him the confidence and a whole new lease of life at that age. He struggled , and still does, with confidence . He reckons it all stems from where he used to be quite a big lad and that hasn’t really left him since . Matt then started taking drugs around the age of 22 - the drug of choice was cocaine . He dabbled with others - mdma / ecstasy / ketamine and he took drugs all the way up to his 30s … it was pretty much a weekly occurrence with him; with these actions he self sabotaged relationships, but alsonused it as a form of self medicating . When living in London Matt was drinking and using around 3 days a week and he used to also do something called ‘Monday club’ where it was a case of just getting messed up after work . Matt went through Mega lows; chromic depression and anger towards people who wanted to help whuch was very selfish Matt went sober last January, he didn’t attend AA - he mainly just listened to podcasts . Matt is doing really well now and hopes that by sharing his story it will help others to look at their relationship with drugs and alcohol.

Emily Horwood

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 06:00:31 GMT

Thanks for joining me for this weeks episode of One For The Road. This week i am joined by Emily Horwood. Emily grew up in the noughties, amongst the parties of the primrose hill set and the carnage of Camden Town. The drink and the drug scene was in full swing and Emily's relationship with alcohol was off and running. As the people around her started to 'grow up' and have families, Emily continued to do what she knew...searching for the next 'high,' travelling, partying and jumping from job to job. Emily's life changed when she found herself in an abusive relationship, fuelled by alcohol. After seeking help to leave, Emily found that she was now drinking to 'escape' her reality, more than ever. Emily's story, describes the 'grey-out' years from her mid 20's - mid 30's, she talks about having children as a way to 'fix' herself, she shares her darkest times and how she finally hit her emotional rock bottom. Emily shares her story of courage and determination to change her relationship with alcohol for good.

Kim Bellas

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 06:00:05 GMT

Kim’s journey began in 2013 when she decided to make the commitment to stop drinking in order to support her son Matthew who had been diagnosed with epilepsy. Sober is the New Cool was created as she soon realised the social pressures surrounding not only herself but her son too. Connection is the key to hope, health and happiness. She quickly realised that sending messages of hope and inspiration every day has the potential to brighten someone’s world. Kim feels blessed to have reinvented herself at the age of 52, and to be able to have filled her life with passion and something she can be proud of, and if we can remember that no act of kindness no matter how small, is ever wasted.

Only by giving can we receive more than we already have.

Harrison Ward

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 06:00:23 GMT

Welcome back to One For The Road this weel ia ma joined by Harrison Ward, perhaps better known as Fell Foodie, an outdoor cook who loves to recreate restaurant style meals on minimal equipment (usually a campstove) in remote locations. He has a strong following across various social media platforms and has featured regularly in the media inc Countryfile Magazine, Men's Fitness, Metro etc. He is a brand advocate for Volvo Car UK, recently featured on the BBC in Dame Mary Berry's latest series ‘Love to Cook’, Channel 5 on ‘Winter on the Farm’ and has been an Ordnance Survey Champion since 2020. His life was very different just some short years ago. Struggling with a clinical depression first appearing in his adolescence, Harrison's life spiralled out of control. At its worst he was consuming in excess of 20 pints daily, was a full time smoker and had ballooned in weight to over 22 stone. The end of a relationship and a personal breakdown led to a major life change. Harrison is now over 7 years sober, has thrown himself into fitness and hiking and merged his passion for food into his new routine. He takes modern practices back to their primal roots and shows what can be cooked in the mountains as well as sharing the importance of time outdoors for physical and mental wellbeing. He now regularly delivers talks at festivals, on podcasts, workplaces and as a keynote speaker about his personal battle with depression, suicidal thoughts and journey from an overweight, alcoholic, smoker to the fit, fell loving foodie he is today.

His debut cook book, ‘Cook Out’ has been published by Vertebrate Publishing in 2023.

Jimmy Weir

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 05:00:36 GMT

Thanks for joining me for this week's episode of One For The Road. This week I am joined by Jimmy Weir as he shares his story with us.

Alcohol was everything to him – his best friend, his saviour, the thing he turned to and would ultimately favour over everything and everyone. It all eventually came to a head February 2020 when he was living with his girlfriend and her two children. When he was sober, life was great and they were one amazingly weird little family. He had moments of sobriety but each time he slipped it seemed to get worse than the cycle that went before. He honestly wanted to help himself or let people help him but all the while, he could feel it slipping away from him and each time he picked up, it spiralled.

He checked into a rehab in Blackpool, his family helped him get there. He is very lucky to have their support in his life and he knows there are people out there who have none. In Blackpool he learned many tools to combat craving's and avoid picking up that first drink. He now lives on the Isle of Man close to his family and he has his own gardening business. He can finally say that he has turned a corner and has been touched by a miracle or higher power, but whatever it is he is proud to say that he is in recovery, that he is a recovering alcoholic. Saying that out loud is something he never thought he would say but he is proud to say it now.

Louisa Evans

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 05:00:39 GMT

Thanks for joining me for this week's episode of One For The Road. I am going to be taking a Summer break for the next couple of weeks but I will be back in August with more brilliant shows and guests.

On this week's show, I am joined by Louisa Evans. As a therapist and hypnotherapist, Louisa was no stranger to helping others quit unwanted habits but when it came to her own relationship with alcohol, she struggled. After spending more than a decade attempting moderation, she finally declared that enough was enough and embarked on a sober life, and that’s when the fun started. She found herself in a resetting loop with far too many "day ones" before making the necessary mindset shifts that changed everything. Even with all the tools at her disposal, she realized she was self-sabotaging. Fast forward to today, and she is delighted to have booted alcohol out of her life having created a sober identity that is far more appealing than her old drinking one. Louisa is now on a mission to spread the message far and wide that you don’t need to hit any sort of rock bottom to walk away from alcohol and that if you struggle at the start it doesn’t mean you won’t succeed eventually. It’s all about mindset. She’s now written a book which is also available as an audiobook, Becoming a Sober Rebel, on the subject of early sobriety and mindset where she talks about her experiences with going sober and shares tools that she uses in therapy when it comes to habit breaking.

Dr Rebecca Lewis

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 05:00:00 GMT

Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of One For The Road. This week I am joined by doctor and menopause specialist Rebecca Lewis, as we discuss the links between alcohol consumption and the exacerbation of the symptoms of menopause. Rebecca qualified from Guy’s Medical School and initially pursued a career in Anaesthetics gaining FRCA in 1996. She then changed specialty to General Practice (MRCGP 2000) having been interested in women’s health and gained DRCOG in 1998. During her time in General Practice, she became interested in menopause and by how dramatically it could affect individuals. She found this the most rewarding area of medicine to be involved in as once a woman is correctly diagnosed and treated with the right type and dose of HRT their life can be transformed and needless suffering stopped. As a result, she is now passionate about improving education and knowledge about menopause, not only within medicine but in the workplace and society as a whole. Her aim is to make menopause a positive experience not hampered by symptoms so that women can be allowed to get on and enjoy healthy, active lives for many years ahead.

Mom Drinking Too Much? Sarah Rusbatch Story of Alcohol, Shame & Sobriety

Wed, 24 May 2023 05:00:00 GMT

Sarah Rusbatch was always the new girl. Moving between Edinburgh, the south of England, and Manchester meant Sarah never quite felt like she belonged. When she discovered alcohol at 14, it solved that problem overnight. It would take another 25 years to realise the cost.

In this episode, Sober Dave sits down with Sarah, a health and wellness coach now based in Perth, Australia, who shares one of the most honest sober stories you will hear on this sobriety podcast. She talks about grey area drinking, the two wake-up calls in 2017 that should have stopped her, two years of stopping and starting before she finally quit drinking alcohol for good in April 2019, and the nervous system work that has been the real foundation of her alcohol free life.

If you are stuck on that hamster wheel wondering how to get off, this one is for you.

Sarah is a certified Women's Health and Wellbeing Coach, an accredited Grey Area Drinking Coach, and a Key-Note speaker.

Thanks for joining me for this weeks episode of One For The Road. This week i am joined by Dan O'Reilly. Daniel is one of the UK’s Largest Influencers, a comedian, actor, musician, viral video star and social influencer. Daniel grew up on a council estate in Weybridge and did performing arts at Brooklands college, before moving out and living on his own from the age of 15.

With a portfolio of businesses Daniel enjoys a busy lifestyle mixed with business and pleasure. Daniel is a father to two beautiful girls and enjoys spending quality time with them and his wife Shelley. After being diagnosed with severe ADHD and beginning his sobriety again, Daniel also set up a page on Facebook and Instagram called 'Men And Their Emotions' (M.A.T.E) an accessible, open and supportive group for MEN to post their feelings, thoughts and current life issues. Upon seeing the responses from men around the world to some of the posts on the group he was blown away and continues to be touched by the kindness and support offered by strangers. This all led to Daniel wanting to start up his own podcast and invite guests to join him in opening up about past experiences and talk about all things mental health, family & sobriety. The podcast, Menace 2 Sobriety has not only helped the 32,500 members in the M.A.T.E Facebook group, but has also received incredible feedback from viewers across all platforms.

Helen Bennett

Wed, 10 May 2023 05:00:00 GMT

Welcome back to One For The Road. This week I am joined by Helen Bennett. If you'd met Helen 10 years ago you would likely have never guessed that she was fighting a two-decade-long battle with bulimia. While she looked like a trim, confident, and successful small business owner on the outside, she was in fact silently trapped inside a daily vicious cycle of losing control of food and then doing whatever it took to get rid of the excess that she'd consumed. Nothing that she'd tried - no diet, no meal plan, no willpower, no therapy - had the power to help her stop. Fortunately, when her business closed in 2015, she made the decision to focus on her recovery again - but this time more intelligently - which meant doing things totally differently than how she'd been doing them before. And slowly, with many bumps along the way, she began to create a truly nourishing and carefree relationship with food. Now, Helen is the founder of BulimiaFreedom.com, and works with people all over the world to help them break free of the nightmare that is disordered eating ... and cultivate a deep sense of their own worth and lovability along the way. In this week's episode, we discuss the links between addiction, alcohol, and food.

Welcome back to One For The Road. This week I am joined by Jodi Clark. Jodi was a grey area drinker with no off switch to the booze. After being sober curious for around 2 years, in August 2022 Jodi set herself a 100-day challenge to initially shift the weight that drinking in excess during covid and not treating herself as a priority had left her with. In a bid to keep her focused on the sobriety challenge discovered a whole world of soul-destroying secrets that big marketing have been keeping from us through various podcasts & audiobooks & vowed at just 30 days sober, to never drink alcohol again. Looking back at over 20 years of drinking, Jodi reflects on the endless red flags & is now committed to helping others ditch the drink too.

Thanks for joining me for another great episode of One For The Road. This week I am joined by Simon Thomas.

Simon first came to prominence when he became a Blue Peter presenter back in the late 90s. After six years on the famous children’s show, he went on to become one of the country’s best-known sports broadcasters on Sky Sports presenting the Football League and then the Premier League. In late 2017 Simon’s world was turned upside down after his first wife Gemma died from a rare form of blood cancer just three days after diagnosis at the age of just 40, leaving him and their eight-year-old boy Ethan behind. After years of having an all-or-nothing attitude to alcohol, Simon descended into a two-year battle with the bottle as he struggled with grief and mental health problems. Having finally decided enough was enough, Simon has now been sober for over a year. As well as returning to sports presenting with Amazon Prime and Sky Sports, Simon is now a well-respected speaker on mental health, grief, and sobriety and is also the president of Blood Cancer UK. He has also found love again and married Derrina in the summer of 2021 and they now have a daughter called Talitha together.

Thanks for joining me for this week's episode of One For The Road; on this week's show I am joined by Jenna Hewitt. Jenna is a Mum, Wife and runs her own company as a professional Wedding and Event Planner. I’ve known Jenna for over 2 years when she approached me for help with her drinking. Having grown up in the nineties and noughties binge drinking era, Jenna started really questioning her relationship with alcohol after having children. From the outside, Jenna was thriving – a successful businesswoman and Mum to two beautiful children. But, behind closed doors, and hiding behind the “mummy wine culture,” she felt that alcohol really started to impact her life and her relationship with herself. This led her to her own breaking point. Speaking from the heart, Jenna’s story will resonate with many people struggling the in the grey area when it comes to their own drinking.

Welcome back for this week's episode of One For The Road. This week I am joined by Rich Evans. Rich was at the forefront of 90's youth culture progressing from Fashion Editor to eventually associate editor of multiple notorious "Lad's magazines" including FHM, Front, and Nuts.

In this week's episode, we go back to Rich's childhood and address where his use of alcohol all began and how it came to play such a large role in Rich's adult life, and what events made Rich decide to embark on a journey of sobriety.

Ceri Walker

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 05:00:00 GMT

Thanks for joining me for this week's episode of One For The Road. This week I am joined by Ceri Walker as we discuss what it is like as the child of an alcoholic. Six years ago, Ceri found the support group Nacoa after she made a film about her Mum's addiction for the Recovery Street Film festival. Finding them has been life-changing for her, as finally she understood that being a COA is a thing, and she felt that she could be herself, with all of her broken bits. She became a media volunteer, doing radio, newspaper, and tv interviews, in the hope of helping others feel less alone. This year Ceri had the huge privilege of speaking at the David Stafford Memorial lecture at the House of Commons. Helping support Nacoa and being the voice of children of alcoholics has become Ceri's purpose, and she really feels she's found who she is meant to be. All the work Ceri does is in loving memory of her Mum.

I Thought Alcohol Helped My Anxiety… It Made It Worse

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 06:00:00 GMT

Sam Phillips shares his story of how drinking started young and slowly took over his life.

Growing up with anxiety, overthinking, and constant fear, alcohol felt like a solution at first. It gave him confidence, helped him fit in, and quieted everything going on in his head. But over time, that relief didn’t last.

What started as weekend drinking turned into daily drinking, isolation, and eventually losing everything — including his home, relationships, and sense of self.

In this conversation, Sam opens up about:

using alcohol to cope with anxiety
how drinking made his mental health worse
blackouts, risky behavior, and losing control
drinking alone and hitting rock bottom
relapse after trying to quit on his own
how community, meetings, and connection changed everything

Sam is now over 17 months sober and focused on helping others through sobriety, mental health awareness, and building real connection.

If you’re struggling with alcohol, anxiety, or feel stuck in the cycle, this episode will hit home.

Mike Faria.

Wed, 27 Jul 2022 05:00:00 GMT

Thanks for joining me for the final episode of season 6 of One For The Road; this week I am joined by Mike Faria.

Mike is a 37 year old content creator, born and raised in New Jersey. As a teenager, he experimented with drugs and alcohol to deal with his childhood trauma. In October 2019, he went into a major depression and began drinking more than he ever had in his life. He had to take leave from his job to try to function through the drunken hours, and was hoping the break would help him to quit drinking, but sadly it progressed. In January 2020, he was found barely breathing in his house from acute liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, and kidney failure. Two weeks prior he had noticed my eyes turned yellow as toxins had built up in his blood from his liver not functioning; Mike was rushed to the ER and was in a coma for almost 3 weeks. He woke up on January 27 to be told he did not qualify for a liver transplant and that he would have to be sober for 6 months to even make the list. Doctors said there was very little chance of survival even with a liver transplant. Mike was 268 lbs when he woke up, and had to learn how to walk and eat all over again. Within three months, Mikes liver miraculously healed and he was given a second chance at life. Mike shares his story with us, and the gratitude he feels to be able to do so.

Michael Sargood.

Wed, 20 Jul 2022 05:00:00 GMT

Joining us on this weeks episode of One For The Road is Michael Sargood.

Michael is the founder of the British alcohol-free news and events website SoberSocials.co.uk.

At the depths of his alcohol addiction, he was drinking up to a litre of neat vodka per night and was diagnosed as being alcohol dependent.; despite this he managed to hold down a good job until the last few months of his addiction.

He decided to quit alcohol in March 2020 and went to live with his parents for the first three months of his recovery. He was sober seven months before relapsing in October 2020. That "one" drink lasted four months and saw him placed under the care of the local mental health team. On 17 February 2021, after losing over 24 hours to blackout, he went sober again. That was the last time he drank. This time round, he is trying to recover differently. Instead of just "subtracting" substances, people and places, he is focussing on adding things to his life: new friends, interests, ambitions.

Alcohol, Addiction & Hitting Rock Bottom | Abi Feltham’s Recovery Story

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 05:00:00 GMT

In this episode, Sober Dave sits down with Abi Feltham to talk about her journey through alcohol addiction, mental health struggles, and recovery.

Abi Feltham shares what it was like growing up feeling disconnected, struggling with low self-esteem, and using alcohol from a young age to cope. What started as a way to feel more confident quickly became something much deeper.

Over the years, her drinking escalated into daily use, working in bars, travelling across Southeast Asia, Australia, and North America, and surrounding herself with environments where heavy drinking was normalised.

Abi Feltham opens up about:

drinking to cope with self-hate and depression
living abroad while alcohol and drugs became part of daily life
hitting rock bottom, including a suicide attempt and time in a psychiatric ward
how addiction continued even after returning home
the moment everything changed and she realised she had to stop drinking

Now over two years sober, Abi Feltham talks about recovery, the challenges of early sobriety, and how working on herself has changed her life.

This is an honest conversation about addiction, mental health, and what it really takes to rebuild your life from the ground up.

The shows were cancelled, and the band didn’t have to think about their future for a long time. It took until April 2021 after several failed attempts, for James to take the leap and attend an AA meeting and he has been sober ever since.On this weeks episode James shares with us what that journey looked like for him, and how by removing just one thing from his life, alcohol, he was able to rebuild the damaged relationships and breathe new life into Deaf Havana once more, as the band re grouped and created a brand new album within three weeks.

Philip Barantini

Wed, 30 Mar 2022 05:00:00 GMT

Thanks for tuning in to this weeks episode of One For The Road.

This week I am joined by film director Philip Barantini.

After 20 years of performing in front of the camera - including roles in the massively successful Band of Brothers, Chernobyl, Ned Kelly and

Humans, Philip Barantini transitioned into directing in the late 2010s, marking his first short film with the award-winning Seconds Out, written by and starring Robbie O'Neill.

Following this, Barantini helmed the BIFA nominated short film Boiling Point, starring Stephen Graham, which was then adapted into the hotly anticipated one-shot feature of the same name in 2021; both movies were co-written with Barantini's frequent collaborator James Cummings.

Boiling Point saw its international debut in competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, and premiered in the UK at the BFI London Film Festival in October 2021. The film has garnered glowing reviews from both critics and audiences, who have called the film "dizzying" [The Guardian] and "utterly compelling" [Variety], commending the film for its "piano-wire tension" [Time Out] and performances - "Stephen Graham is phenomenally mesmerising" [HEYUGUYS]. It recently won 4 BIFA's including best supporting actress (Vinette Robinson), best cinematography, best casting and best sound. and was nominated in 11 categories.

Cat Sims

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 06:00:00 GMT

Welcome back to another season of One For The Road.

To launch season 5 I am joined by the wonderful Cat Simms.

Cat is a content creator, podcaster and soon-to-be-author who is still trying to figure the whole ‘adulting’ thing out.

She’s made a living out of documenting her failures and successes as a 40 year old woman, a mother and a wife across various social media platforms.

Her mission in life is to make as many women as possible feel ‘seen’ and to make them realise that they are never, ever, ‘the only one.’ She’s honest AF, sober, wonderfully self-deprecating and willing to say all the things the rest of us hide away and, in doing so, manages to make us all feel a little bit better about our perfectly messy lives.

Sober spring special with Richard Piper

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 06:00:00 GMT

Thanks for joining me for this bonus sober spring special of One For The Road.

Today’s episode is with Richard Piper, CEO of Alcohol Change UK.

We discuss Stigma, Sober shaming and the start of Sober Spring, and of course my 24 hour Liveathon on the 26th of March.

Alcohol Change UK work to end the harm caused by alcohol. Helping tens of thousands of people take control of their drinking and provide vital advice for families desperate to help a loved one. They are not anti-alcohol; they are for a future in which people drink as a conscious choice, not by default. They want those who drink too much, and their loved ones, to have access to high-quality support whenever it’s needed, without shame or stigma.

They help people to find alcohol services in their area and support tens of thousands of people and their families online via our peer support groups and advice hub. Over 200,000 people used their Try Dry app to monitor their drinking this year alone, and many of them were able to successfully reduce or stop drinking.

Through their Blue Light programme they work with some of the UK's most vulnerable people, who are too often considered to be ‘beyond help’. They train local services to support them, saving the NHS and other frontline services money, and more importantly changing and saving lives.

Johnny Lawrence.

Wed, 23 Feb 2022 06:00:00 GMT

Thanks for joining me for the last episode of this season's One For The Road. This week I am joined by The self Development Coach, Jonny Lawrence.

Johnny’s journey is one that started with complete rejection in all areas of his life. The biggest source of rejection was from his Father. Johnny is a witness to domestic violence and a survivor of physical child abuse, and this trauma defined his life for quite some time. He used alcohol as a method of coping for many decades until one day his addiction and his trauma, collided and created the biggest shift in his life that he had ever experienced; the shift towards becoming alcohol-free and helping others.

Supporting people to improve and change all aspects of their lives became his passion which led him to become The Self Development Coach. He found from working with a diverse range of people, and also from healing from his childhood trauma, that he had a passion and a talent for supporting people with their self-development.

Johnny is the creator of the Super Self program and the founder of the School Of Self Development that supports, guides and educates people towards becoming unstuck and achieving what they want from their life. Johnny also hosts a popular podcast called The Self Development Podcast, where he has conversations with industry leaders surrounding self-development in a vast array of areas and topics.

Leanne Bayliss.

Wed, 01 Dec 2021 06:00:00 GMT

Thanks for joining me for the final episode of season 3 of One For The Road.

Today I am joined by Leanne Bayliss, sober blogger, scriptwriter, super mum, and proud Brummie.

After being adopted when she was younger, Leanne found herself on a series of uphill life struggles that in turn led to both an alcohol and drug addiction.

With little self-worth, by the time Leanne was in her twenties, she just wanted to end it all. After giving birth to her daughter Darcey, who was born with complex health needs, Leanne found her drinking increasing, to the point that her thoughts took her to a very dark place and she sat down and wrote a goodbye letter to her daughter

As friends around Leanne began noticing her mental health struggles, they intervened and so began the story of Leanne's recovery.

Leanne is an incredible and strong woman who has never given up in the face of adversity, and who has taken everything she has been through and turned it into a lesson to help others so that no one has to go through what she went through; she is starting conversations that people are dying in silence, and loudly banging the sobriety drum which she plans to make a whole lot louder.

This week I'm joined by Author Jenny Valentish.

Jenny is an English journalist who moved to Australia 15 years ago and she also writes books.

Charlie is an inspirational young man of 25 years old, who left a small village in North Wales and moved across the world to Australia, where he has set up and is currently building a community for young people to help build self-belief and change mindset.

Charlie talks with us about how he used alcohol as a crutch during his breakup when he first arrived in Australia, and how he began losing himself through alcohol and decided to take action and build the future he wanted by addressing what he was using alcohol to hide away from.

He really is an incredible young man, and I hope to help him spread his message far and wide.

Rok Soba.

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 06:30:00 GMT

Welcome back, and thanks for joining me again for Season 2 of One For The Road.

We are starting off the season with my amazing new sponsors Rok Soba.

The boys share with us their journey to sobriety, and how their brand Rok Soba came about.

After an alcohol-fuelled brawl in a pub nearly saw the boys in jail, Lee and Shaun's lives took a drastic change.

They both embarked on a path to sobriety, leaving their corporate careers in the city, and in 2017 the idea for Rok Soba was born after the name came to Shaun in a dream.

The boys have gone from strength to strength with the brand, and after beginning with accessories and merchandise, in 2019 they introduced an alcohol-free beer called "Zero Fear" and their recently launched AF beers “Voyager IPA” and “777 Belgian Triple” to raise enough revenue build an Inspiration Centre, and Foundation to help assist and re-skill recovering addicts.

Rok Soba's mission is to change perceptions about sobriety, and spread the word that just because you don't drink, doesn't mean you can't rock sober!

I am so proud and honoured to have Rok Soba as the sponsor for my show, and I can't wait for you to hear their story.
