I had to cut the umbilical cord between me and my relationship with alcohol, because being with it for years is I'm institutionalized into that I've done everything in my life is my decisions being based on alcohol.
David Wilson, affectionately known as 'Sober Dave', sits down with host Beth Bowen in this episode of Sober Stories to recount his journey from heavy drinking to sobriety. Once dubbed 'Glugs' at the tender age of 14, David's early years were marked by a tumultuous relationship with alcohol, heavily influenced by his childhood experiences.
As he navigated through life, his drinking habits took a toll on his mental health, leading to a pivotal moment in his 50s when he decided it was time to quit for good. In their candid conversation, Beth and David explore the significant impact that community support can have on maintaining sobriety. David emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with a supportive network, sharing how this played a crucial role in his own recovery journey.
