Hosted by Paul Churchill, the episode dives into the age-old debate: Is alcoholism a disease or a product of one's environment? Johan candidly shares how he recognized his problem, sought help, and now thrives in sobriety.
His story is a testament to the power of support groups and the positive changes that come with living alcohol-free. Johan also discusses the stigma around alcoholism and how he overcame it, offering valuable insights for anyone on a similar path. Additionally, he highlights the unexpected joys of sober travel, recounting how it has opened up new and exciting opportunities for him.
