Because being alcohol free is having a superpower.
What if your morning walk could change your life? That’s exactly what happened to Nigel Jones. In this engaging episode of 'Over The Influence', hosts Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson sit down with Nigel to chat about his transformative journey from alcohol dependence to a life of clarity and purpose. Nigel, who gave up drinking in December 2020, shares how he embraced a new mindset that helped him navigate the early days of sobriety.
Instead of turning to alcohol, he turned to walking, a simple activity that became his daily meditation and a cornerstone of his recovery. Nigel’s story is not just about ditching the booze; it’s about adopting a lifestyle that promotes mental and physical well-being. His 9km by 9am challenge, which started as a fun competition with his sister, has now become a significant part of his identity and even inspired the title of his book, 'Walking Back To Happiness'.
Throughout the episode, Nigel opens up about how walking has improved his mental health, providing him with a sense of peace and purpose that alcohol never could. Sharon and Ben also explore the importance of community in maintaining sobriety. Nigel recently joined their community and has already become an active member, finding support and camaraderie among others on similar journeys.
This episode is a testament to the power of simple yet profound changes in our daily routines and the incredible impact they can have on our lives. If you’re looking for inspiration or practical advice on how to start your own journey towards an alcohol-free life, this episode is a must-listen. Nigel’s story highlights that sometimes, the path to happiness is just a few steps away.
