You don't have to, uh, drink or do drugs to get a high, because the high is in the actual action of doing the sport, you know, and there's so much freedom.
What happens when you mix poetry, snowboarding, and a relentless quest for sobriety? You get Steve Matthews, the guest on this episode of 'Having A Cuppa with Chris Nell'. Chris heads to the East Coast to sit down with Steve, a man whose life story is as diverse as his interests. Growing up middle-class and feeling like an outsider, Steve's path took a dark turn into alcoholism and drug addiction. But that's not where his story ends.
After achieving sobriety, he found new highs in snowboarding and writing poetry, using these passions to replace the destructive habits of his past. Steve's journey is a testament to the power of finding solace in unexpected places. He shares how the thrill of sports and the creative outlet of poetry helped him reclaim his life.
The conversation also veers into the fascinating world of mythology, a subject close to Steve's heart, and even touches on the relevance of using the F-word. With Chris's engaging style and Steve's candid storytelling, this episode offers a raw and honest look at the struggles and triumphs of overcoming addiction. For anyone grappling with similar issues or supporting someone who is, Steve's story is a beacon of hope.
He emphasizes the importance of seeking help and building connections, reminding us that freedom and joy can be found in the most unexpected activities. Whether you're into sports, poetry, or just love a good comeback story, this episode is a must-listen.
