Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.
What happens when a professional golfer's dream turns into a nightmare? For Louis Harrington, the pressures of the sport led him down a dark path of alcohol and gambling addiction. By the end of 2018, he found himself lost and contemplating suicide. But in January 2019, Louis made a pivotal decision to quit drinking and start sharing his experiences. This choice not only saved his life but also set him on a new path as a sober coach and mentor.
In this episode of 'One For The Road', hosted by David Wilson, Louis opens up about his struggles and triumphs. He talks about the mental and emotional battles he faced, and how embracing vulnerability and seeking support played crucial roles in his recovery. Now, Louis works with elite golfers, sports professionals, and retired athletes, helping them understand their emotions and reach their full potential.
His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how bleak things may seem, there's always a chance for a brighter future. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on overcoming addiction and finding purpose, this episode is a must-listen.
