Alex Talbot: Rising from Addiction to Champion Sobriety

I had to be willing to feel all of the things that I had been running from for so long and it was really hard, but it was also really rewarding. And it was also a way for me to build a life that I never really thought was possible for myself.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others? In this episode of 'Having A Cuppa with Chris Nell', Chris travels to Montreal to chat with the vibrant and candid Alex Talbot. Alex, a health and lifestyle coach and the founder of Sober Active Canada, opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction, identity crises, and her eventual path to sobriety.
For nearly three decades, Alex led a double life—by day, a successful government bureaucrat; by night, entangled in a web of drugs and chaos. It wasn't until she hit rock bottom that she realized something had to change. Through sheer determination and the support of a newfound community, Alex managed to rebuild her life.
She didn't just stop at getting sober; she became a competitive athlete representing Canada and started Sober Active Canada to help others find their way to a healthier, sober life. Throughout their conversation, Chris and Alex delve into the importance of self-acceptance and vulnerability in recovery. Alex shares how facing her deepest fears and feelings was both challenging and incredibly rewarding.
The episode sheds light on how recovery isn't just about quitting substances but about crafting a fulfilling life that feels worth living. Alex's story is a testament to the power of community and support systems in overcoming addiction. Her journey from addiction to sobriety is not just inspiring but also a powerful reminder that change is possible. Tune in to hear Alex's compelling story and gain insights into the sober community-building movement.
