If you're not getting leathered This Weekend, you must be that sort of person. Well, probably be more fun actually, because you know I'll be a bit more alert and I won't be a gibbering wreck.
Imagine facing a year without a single drop of alcohol and emerging stronger, happier, and more confident. That's exactly what Ian Thurlbeck has achieved, and in this episode of 'Sobriety Unplugged', he sits down with hosts Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson to share his remarkable journey. Ian, hailing from the North East and approaching his 50th birthday, opens up about the social pressures and personal fears that kept him tethered to drinking for years.
He candidly discusses how alcohol was a crutch he leaned on to numb emotions and fit in with societal norms. As Ian celebrates 365 days of sobriety, he reflects on the newfound confidence and joy that have come with living alcohol-free. He talks about the pivotal role that the Over The Influence Zoom groups have played in his journey, providing him with a supportive community that has been instrumental in his transformation.

This episode is a heartfelt conversation that delves into the challenges and triumphs of going sober. Ian's honesty and openness offer a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with alcohol dependency.
Whether you're contemplating sobriety, already on your journey, or supporting a loved one, Ian's experience underscores the power of community and the profound changes that come with embracing an alcohol-free life.
