I suppose it's very important to just get over that little bit of fear that you have of speaking to someone. I realised that when I came into recovery and you chat to people in meetings and I thought I was the only one that ever done this or the only one that this ever happened to me- and there's people in the room.
What does it take to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? In this episode of 'The Two Norries', hosts James Leonard and Timmy Long sit down with Mikey Olden, a man who knows the answer all too well. Mikey opens up about his harrowing battle with addiction and mental health, sharing raw and heartfelt stories of his darkest moments, including suicide attempts. But his story doesn’t end there.
Through sheer determination and the support of a strong community, Mikey found a path to recovery. He delves into how Brazilian Jujitsu played a crucial role in his healing process, offering not just physical discipline but also mental resilience. The conversation is an eye-opener for anyone grappling with similar issues or supporting someone who is. Mikey's journey highlights the importance of seeking help, maintaining a structured routine, and the transformative power of mindset shifts.
His message is clear: 'I'm living proof that no one is alone out there'. Tune in for an episode filled with hope, resilience, and practical advice on overcoming life's toughest challenges.
