For me, I knew that I had to get this non-drinking momentum going, the same as if I had to learn how to stand. On the contrary, I've got a really great life, and none of it.
Carrie Carlisle has worn many hats – TV presenter, author, and mental health advocate. In this episode of 'Soberful', she sits down with Veronica Valli to share her compelling journey to sobriety. Carrie, hailing from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, opens up about her struggle with alcohol and the unexpected turn her recovery took when she developed orthorexia, an eating disorder focused on an obsession with healthy eating.
Her candid recounting of physical withdrawal and the challenges she faced provides a unique perspective on the path to sobriety. Carrie’s story doesn’t stop there. Alongside her husband, former professional footballer Clarke Carlisle, she has become a prominent voice in mental health advocacy. Together, they deliver workshops and talks across the UK, raising awareness about mental health and suicide prevention. Their efforts have earned them the Speaking Out MIND Media Award in 2018, highlighting their significant impact.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of personal recovery and the broader mission of mental health awareness. Whether you’re on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Carrie’s experiences and insights offer both hope and practical advice.
