👉Nick didn’t have a dramatic rock bottom—he just knew alcohol was quietly holding him back. In his 60s, he made the decision to stop drinking and start living with more purpose.

In this episode, we talk about how marathon training gave him the focus to quit, how getting into the gym helped him build structure in retirement, and how he’s found new energy and meaning without the booze.

With decades of experience in the police, Nick also shares his perspective on how alcohol affects frontline services like policing and the NHS—and what life could look like if alcohol stopped draining the systems we all rely on.

A grounded, honest conversation about change, purpose, and the quiet power of saying “enough.”

In this honest and relatable episode, we sit down with Liam from Ireland, who shares what it’s like attending your very first AA meeting. Now 10 months sober, Liam talks us through the highs, the lows, and the awkward in-betweens of early sobriety.

He opens up about his experience with Alcoholics Anonymous—what it’s like walking into the room for the first time, how he’s stayed sober without doing the 12 steps (yet), and why finding the right sponsor has been a challenge. This is a real story of progress, not perfection—of finding balance, support, and sanity one meeting at a time.

Whether you're sober-curious or deep in the journey, Liam’s story reminds us: you don’t have to have it all figured out—you just have to keep showing up.

This week we speak to Warren about how Alcoholics Anonymous saved his life and how grateful he is for attending those meetings in his early sobriety from alcohol addiction.

We speak about what he learnt and how he still uses those tools today, even though he no longer attends meetings and his reasons for not going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings anymore.

We talk about "geographical" alcoholics and how jumping from Chef job to job while drunk and high was what active addiction looked like for him. We also talk about geographicals to other countries and understanding that it doesn't matter where you run to - addiction will always follow if you haven't done the work.

He shares how he is now in therapy, 3 years into his sobriety, to help unravel his past and growing up with an alcoholic father.
