Don't be afraid to be the one that says: fuck that, like. Now I'm and I've been sober Three And A Half Years.
Ever wondered why someone starts drinking in the first place? In this episode of 'Better Today', John Leaver opens up about his own journey into and out of alcoholism. Growing up in a mining village in South Yorkshire, John felt immense social pressure to drink, party, and fit in. This pressure led him down a dark path of excessive drinking, drug use, and weight gain. But John's story doesn't end there.
After years of unhealthy living, he made a life-changing decision to quit drinking and turn his life around. Now, he's been sober for over three years and shares his candid story to inspire others facing similar struggles. John’s narrative isn't just about the pitfalls of alcohol; it's about reclaiming one's health, mental well-being, and authenticity. He talks openly about the physical and mental toll that excessive drinking took on him and the liberating benefits of an alcohol-free life.
With his raw honesty and a touch of humor, John encourages listeners to be true to themselves and break free from societal expectations. If you're curious about the real reasons behind alcohol addiction or seeking motivation to start your own journey to sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
