Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain, and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.
Have you ever wondered how a life in the spotlight can spiral into addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'One For The Road', David Wilson sits down with Taner Hassan, a man who has worn many hats—head of AAT mental health at NHS Suffolk, psychotherapist, addiction specialist, sex therapist, and presenter.
Taner's story is a rollercoaster ride that begins with his brief stint in the public eye on an early reality TV show, leading to struggles with alcohol and drug addiction. Now, fifteen years sober, Taner opens up about his journey from the depths of addiction to a life filled with purpose and happiness. He candidly discusses the impact of reality TV on his mental health and how public scrutiny exacerbated his issues.
But it's not all doom and gloom; Taner shares the pivotal moments that led him to seek help and the strategies he used to rewire his brain for positive choices. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. From dealing with overthinking and fear to embracing a purposeful life, Taner's experiences serve as a beacon of hope.
Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or simply looking for inspiration, this conversation offers valuable lessons on resilience and the power of reaching out for support.
