You always get to work, you know, and all of these things that are based around this social conjecture- and some of these people didn't witness me as I was in the closing stages of my drinking, because for a lot of the closing stages means closing of doors.
Ever wondered what it's like to transition from a professional football career to becoming an alcoholism consultant? In this episode of the '1000 Days Sober Podcast', host Lee Davy chats with Kieron Brady, who has done just that.

He shares candid insights into the mindset of an alcoholic and dismantles common myths about addiction. This episode goes beyond personal anecdotes, delving into the broader issues of masculinity and addiction, and what it really takes to stay sober. Kieron's passion for recovery is evident as he discusses his work guiding others through their own journeys to sobriety.
He also touches on his advocacy for equality, having spent over a decade fighting against racism and homophobia. Whether you're navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Kieron's story offers a blend of inspiration and practical advice. Tune in for a conversation that sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the resilience required to overcome it.
