I was lonely, I was carrying shame, and I think I was trying to fill my life with big, cool stories to make me feel something that never really came, until eventually I worked out that it was self-love and self-worth that I needed, and that only came when I stopped drinking.
Ever wondered what it's like to walk away from a glamorous life filled with parties, celebrities, and endless booze? In this episode of 'Behind The Smile', Ash Butterss sits down with Maz Compton, a former MTV VJ and top radio host, to discuss her transformative journey from living in the fast lane to finding peace in sobriety.
Maz opens up about the toll that maintaining a perfect image took on her mental health and how she knew it was time for a change before hitting rock bottom. Maz shares her decision to quit drinking for good in January 2015, a choice that changed her life forever. She dives into the challenges of reconnecting with her true self without the crutch of alcohol and how she learned to lean into discomfort rather than run from it.
From hilarious anecdotes about avoiding certain social situations to heartfelt moments of self-discovery, Maz's story is both relatable and inspiring. This episode is perfect for anyone struggling with their own relationship with alcohol or looking for a candid conversation about the ups and downs of sobriety. Maz offers practical tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle in recovery and emphasizes the importance of self-love and authenticity.
Tune in for an honest and uplifting chat that might just give you the nudge you need to embrace your own sober journey.
