Horseman's journey to sobriety is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of the Sobertown Podcast, Drifter sits down with Horseman, a South African who has faced numerous challenges, including losing his hearing at a young age due to a freak accident. Despite the bullying and ridicule he endured, Horseman persevered, supported by his loving family and driven by his desire to live a better life.
His story is filled with heartfelt moments and valuable lessons for anyone on the path to recovery. Horseman shares how the COVID-19 lockdowns in South Africa became a turning point in his life. Faced with the reality of limited access to alcohol, he decided to use the time to get healthier and more clear-headed. His candid recounting of stockpiling booze and the subsequent realisation of the need for change is both relatable and eye-opening.

He talks about the importance of authenticity in recovery and how being genuine can make a significant difference. His story highlights the power of visualisation and having a supportive community around you.
One of the most touching parts of the episode is when Horseman reads a letter from his daughter, Nadia, expressing her pride in his sobriety and the positive changes in their relationship. This moment underscores the profound impact that recovery can have on family dynamics. Horseman's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of fighting for a better life.
