The conversation kicks off with Thom sharing his personal health update, injecting a dose of humour about the quirks of aging.
From there, the trio explores the concept of 'doomscrolling' and its impact on mental health, drawing parallels to addictive behaviours. They share candid anecdotes about their own struggles with procrastination, unrealistic expectations, and the importance of taking that first step towards recovery. You'll hear Patrick's raw reflections on his journey through rehab and how a simple questionnaire became a pivotal moment in his recovery process.
