I suppose you probably might get a lot of clients like this. I just let it all get on top of me: the pressure, exhaustion, a complete inability and lack of desire to ever talk about it or admit it, the way that I was feeling, and, quite simply, I started to self-medicate in My Mid To Late 30s with alcohol and cocaine, quite secretively.
Sam Delaney, a well-known journalist and broadcaster, opens up about his tumultuous relationship with alcohol in this episode of the 'Soberful' podcast. Having been deeply immersed in the British binge drinking scene, Sam thought he was living the high life—until reality hit hard. He candidly discusses how the 'toxic' and 'dysfunctional' drinking culture in Britain affected him and what led him to finally walk away from it all.
Sam doesn't just share his struggles; he also delves into the role of media in perpetuating drinking habits and how he used alcohol and drugs as a form of self-medication. His reflections offer a raw and honest look at the challenges of addiction and the path to recovery. For anyone feeling trapped in a cycle of alcohol use, Sam's story provides a beacon of hope. He talks about finding support, smashing harmful belief systems, and the surprising benefits of sobriety.
Tune in for an episode filled with eye-opening insights and practical advice on breaking free from alcohol dependency.
