Well, there've been a number of them starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. And then in one of these episodes, rob Brydon said to him: yeah, you weren't an alcoholic, were you?
Why do the people closest to us sometimes deny our addiction, even when we’ve finally acknowledged it ourselves? In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle this perplexing question head-on. They dive into the concept of 'denial by proxy', where friends and family might refuse to see the reality of your addiction, often out of misunderstanding or their own vulnerabilities. The conversation is peppered with humor and honesty, making it both engaging and deeply relatable.
Graham and Martin also share their personal experiences, shedding light on the crucial role of support in recovery and the dangers of ignoring someone's addiction. They emphasize the need to challenge the drinking culture that often complicates recovery. From a candid quote by Rob Brydon on alcoholism to their light-hearted banter about guilty pleasure songs, this episode is packed with insights and real talk.
Whether you’re battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives on overcoming denial and moving towards a healthier life.
