Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain, and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support. Their message is clear: you don't need alcohol to have a good time.

In this episode of 'One For The Road', David Wilson, also known as SoberDave, sits down with Ollie Ollerton, a star of SAS WHO DARES WINS and a best-selling author. Ollie opens up about his journey towards positive change, highlighting the importance of support and the need to rewire the brain for sobriety.
He delves into how childhood trauma influenced his addiction and how finding purpose has been crucial in his recovery. Ollie also addresses the dangers of binge drinking and its impact on creativity and productivity, shedding light on the cultural issues surrounding alcohol consumption. He emphasizes that sobriety is not just about giving up alcohol but about gaining a better quality of life.
