Product Information

The author writes about their personal experience with drugs and alcohol which is that once they started they couldn’t stop. This isn’t everyone’s experience BUT the messaging and overall takeaways are still the same. I was born into a family that struggles with abusing alcohol. Generations of struggles from grandpas to great uncles to parents and husbands. Alcohol used to revolve around every activity that we ever participated in! Work events, traveling, meals, events, picnics - alcohol was everywhere and hard to stay away from. I speak with the amazing Olivia this week as we discuss growing up, getting sober and how battling our demons was the best life choice that we made. There’s nothing revolutionary about the book. It’s mostly the good old truths we all mostly know, but have forgotten because we live in a world where a sober life isn’t the most easily accessible. Rob shares his story about how he was watching a star is born on a flight whilst drinking two bottles of wine and that started the process in which he gave up for good. We talk about how rugby (he's a kiwi) and booze go hand in hand, how men get social anxiety as well and how stoicism is a great way to live life.

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.This weeks guest is Anthony, who is a personal trainer making the most of life without the booze. He is eight weeks sober and we catch up to find out more about his motivation to get sober, what life was like when he was drunk and how he has noticed powerful changes in only 8 weeks.

I speak to Tia about her journey from party girl to attending alcoholics anonymous. We discuss our pre-conceptions of what we thought Alcoholics anonymous was but the surprising turn of events that helped us both become sober. How many times have you told yourself ‘never again’ but found yourself repeating the same negative actions of drinking, hangover, regret and repeat? Sober On A Drunk Planet provides an easy 3 step solution to quit drinking alcohol for good.Shannon highlights how difficult (and unfair) life can be, even during his sobriety he has had to overcome so many painful events in his life, how he stayed sober during this time is truly inspiring. He speaks about what sobriety has given him, the support he got from his husband and how he didn't go to AA but use an addiction counsellor to help him to become sobriety. I just wanted to celebrate the fact that I have got my first business loan approved after going through debt relief in 2016. Something that at the time, I couldn't see past, but the last 4.5 years have been incredibly challenging from a financial perspective as it's a daily reminder of my troubled past.
