Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain, and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? In this episode of 'One For The Road', David Wilson, also known as SoberDave, sits down with comedian, model, and actor Paul Drayton. Paul's story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, from his early days starring in TV shows like 'Byker Grove' to his tumultuous relationship with alcohol.
After several stints in rehab and a particularly rough year in 2015, Paul found himself using alcohol as a crutch. Now, almost one year sober, he's sharing his journey and the lessons he's learned along the way. Paul opens up about the mental health struggles that accompanied his addiction and the toll it took on his relationships. He emphasizes the importance of support systems and the power of self-reflection and honesty in overcoming addiction.
But it's not just about the struggles; Paul also talks about his upcoming one-man show, 'The Evolution of an Alcoholic', and his commitment to donating proceeds to help others facing similar battles. This episode is a raw, heartfelt conversation that offers hope and practical advice for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Paul's inspiring story and discover the transformative power of sobriety.
