Derham Tutton: From Glamour to Grit and Sobriety
“Life is such a beautiful thing, huh isn't it?”
Imagine going from the glitzy world of modelling to living in sand dunes. That’s exactly what happened to Derham 'Tutty' Tutton, and his story is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', host Danni Carr chats with Derham about his incredible journey. Once a top model rubbing shoulders with Elle Macpherson and Andy Warhol, Derham's life took a dramatic turn as he spiraled into addiction.
Drugs and alcohol soon led him to rock bottom, estranged from his family and living in isolation. But that wasn’t the end of his story. Derham found his way to rehab and has been sober for 18 months. Now, he's back doing what he loves—surf coaching—and living a life full of gratitude and self-love. This episode is packed with raw honesty, resilience, and hope, making it a must-listen for anyone battling their own demons or supporting someone who is.
Derham's transformation from a glamorous yet destructive lifestyle to one of peace and purpose offers valuable insights and inspiration for all.
