Quitting alcohol and all drugs allows you to...
What happens when a young man's casual drinking spirals into a full-blown struggle with alcoholism? Meet William Porter, who began his journey with alcohol at just fourteen. Growing up in the UK, binge drinking seemed almost a rite of passage. But as the years passed, William found himself drinking more and more, his tolerance rising along with his intake. After serving a tour in Iraq, he faced the harsh realities of adjusting to civilian life, and his drinking only worsened.
The breaking point came when he was given an ultimatum: get sober or lose his family. Choosing sobriety, William didn't just stop drinking; he immersed himself in understanding alcohol's grip on the mind and body. This led him to write 'Alcohol Explained', a book that debunks common myths about drinking and offers insights into the true nature of addiction.
In this episode of 'Sober Nation FM', hosted by Jonathan Sylvester, William opens up about his personal battles, the turning points in his recovery, and the strategies that helped him stay sober. He also shares valuable advice for those contemplating quitting alcohol and highlights the importance of avoiding triggers. Whether you're struggling with alcohol yourself or supporting someone who is, William's story is both enlightening and encouraging.
Tune in to hear a raw and honest account that sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the hope that comes with recovery.
