Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.
Ever wondered how someone can navigate the intense scrutiny of the public eye while battling personal demons? In this episode of 'One For The Road', David Wilson, also known as SoberDave, sits down with Denise Welch, a beloved figure who has faced more than her fair share of challenges. Denise candidly discusses her journey with alcohol and drugs, the struggles she endured with postnatal depression, and the mental health battles she fought along the way.
Her story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about reclaiming her life from the clutches of public and media intrusion. Denise opens up about being bugged and having her personal information exposed, revealing how these invasions exacerbated her struggles with substance abuse. Celebrating nine years of sobriety, Denise shares the pivotal moments that led her to seek help and the importance of a strong support system.
She emphasizes the need to 'rewire' the brain to maintain sobriety and discusses how living alcohol-free has transformed her approach to life's challenges, including her father's illness. Denise also touches on the broader impacts of alcohol on domestic violence and the benefits of alcohol-free social events. This episode offers a raw and inspiring look at Denise's path to sobriety and mental wellness, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking hope and resilience in their own journey.
