We all have this. Even if you have a life that superficially seems like the best life in the world, you're still going to have good days and bad days. And if you try to pretend that you're not having those bad days, then the bad feelings will fester inside of you.
What happens when the party stops and reality sets in? In this episode of 'Soberful', Veronica Valli sits down with Sam Delaney, a former British 'jack-the-lad' whose world turned upside down when his mental health took a nosedive. Sam, known for his new book 'Sort Your Head Out: Mental Health Without All the Bollocks', opens up about the pressures men face in expressing their feelings and the cultural barriers that often prevent them from seeking help.

This episode isn't just for men; it's for anyone who wants to understand the complex relationship between mental health and sobriety. Sam's reflections challenge the stereotypes surrounding masculinity and mental health, making this conversation both eye-opening and relatable.
