Matt Pink's Journey: Finding Light After Darkness

Personally, I don't necessarily miss drinking, but I do sort of worry too much about what other people think, and I think, therefore, just to be able to sort of sound off with other people about how you feel about that and get a common sense response is just vital.
Imagine facing the darkest period of your life and emerging stronger, more vibrant, and dedicated to helping others. That's the story of Matt Pink, affectionately known as the Better Life Guy. In this heartfelt episode of 'Over The Influence', hosts Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson sit down with Matt to uncover his incredible transformation. After the tragic loss of his young son, Matt found himself spiraling into despair, with alcohol and drugs becoming his crutches.
His journey to sobriety wasn't straightforward, but a chance spiritual encounter became the turning point he desperately needed. Matt shares candidly about how his skepticism turned into a life-changing moment, leading him to embrace a sober lifestyle. But sobriety was just the beginning. Matt dives into the various wellness practices he's adopted, from personal development to spirituality, all contributing to his newfound purpose.
He also touches on the challenges of socializing without alcohol and breaking free from drinking culture, offering practical advice for those on similar paths. This episode isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about rebuilding a life from the ground up and finding joy in unexpected places. Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about living alcohol-free, Matt's story is a beacon of hope and resilience.
