Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain, and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.
What happens when a successful journalist decides to face her battles with alcohol head-on? In this episode of 'One For The Road', Sobriety Coach David Wilson, known as SoberDave, welcomes Bryony Gordon, an award-winning journalist and mental health campaigner. Bryony opens up about her journey from the depths of alcohol addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for many through her advocacy work.
With five Sunday Times Bestselling books under her belt, including 'Mad Girl' and 'Glorious Rock Bottom', Bryony has never shied away from discussing her struggles with OCD and mental health. She shares how she rewired her brain to seek support rather than turning to alcohol. Her candidness is both refreshing and inspiring, making this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with similar issues.
Bryony also talks about founding Mental Health Mates in 2016, a peer support group that has grown nationwide. This initiative has created a community where people can connect and find solace in shared experiences. Throughout the conversation, Bryony emphasizes the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and sobriety. Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of seeking help.
