Stacey Heale: Finding Strength in Sobriety Amidst Grief

Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain, and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.
Grief and sobriety are tough roads to travel, but Stacey Heale's story shows us the power of resilience. In this episode of 'One For The Road', David Wilson chats with Stacey, a writer, speaker, and campaigner who has faced some of life's most challenging moments. When her husband, Greg Gilbert, the lead singer of indie band Delay, was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer, Stacey found herself grappling with immense loss and the pressures of caregiving.
The pandemic only added to her struggles, pushing her to reevaluate her relationship with alcohol as a coping mechanism. Through a heartfelt conversation, Stacey opens up about how she navigated these turbulent times, leaning on community support and finding solace in writing. Her candidness offers a beacon of hope for anyone dealing with similar challenges.
Whether you're on your own sobriety journey or supporting someone else, Stacey's story is a reminder that healing and strength can be found even in the darkest times.
