Be open, be honest. If you're still listening to this now, I've said it numerous times: reach out, talk. There's no point if you're drinking a bottle of vodka a day, there's no point going to your GP and telling him you're drinking half a bottle of vodka every three days because it doesn't work like that. Try and be happy, try and seek that happiness that we talked about in episode one and two. It is out there.
Imagine realizing that better communication could have eased your struggle with sobriety. That's exactly what Stuart Butler unpacks in this episode of 'Henry Weston's Old Mate'. Stuart takes listeners through his own journey, emphasizing the crucial role of honesty and consistency in overcoming addiction. He shares how opening up about his struggles might have made a world of difference, not just for him but for those around him.
This episode dives deep into the often-ignored issue of isolation, especially among men, and the reluctance to discuss mental health. Stuart's candid reflections offer a refreshing take on why seeking support and being open about one's struggles are vital steps towards recovery. If you're navigating sobriety or know someone who is, Stuart's story is both a beacon of hope and a call to action.
