Your podcast was the first thing I ever picked up about being sober curious and I just took to it like a duck to water.
In this episode of 'Sober Stories from Everyday People', we meet Gareth, a 38-year-old from Hollyport, Berkshire. Gareth opens up about his journey to sobriety, having been alcohol-free for 129 days. Living with his partner and two dogs, Otis and Isla, Gareth shares how his life was once dominated by drinking and smoking. His story takes an interesting turn when he reveals his recent ADHD diagnosis, which he pursued after recognising traits discussed in this very podcast.
Gareth's candid discussion about the challenges and triumphs of sobriety is both relatable and inspiring. He talks about the pressures of his high-stress sales job, the initial struggle to break free from alcohol, and the newfound clarity and self-awareness that sobriety has brought him. His reflections on how ADHD played a role in his past behaviours add another layer to his story, making it a compelling listen for anyone dealing with similar issues.
By sharing his experience, Gareth hopes to offer support and encouragement to others on their own sober journeys. Tune in to hear Gareth's heartfelt story and gain insights into the transformative power of sobriety.
