Hearing his son say "Dad, I need you" spurred Alex into recovery and became his 'why'. From heavy drinking in his younger years through to the grips of addiction, Alex admits he turned to alcohol in order to avoid connection and dealing with difficulties in life so when he was faced with potentially losing his sight, he only knew one way to cope and that was to drink to zone out. Fast forward to today and he's just celebrated two years sobriety, volunteers at his local gym and runs 'Club Claritee' to show people you can still have fun and attend brilliant events sober.

In the past Hadley was known as the fitness coach who 'loved her wine' and so when she decided to go sober she really had to rethink her identity.

This is an amazing conversation with Sam who has completely turned his mindset and attitude around in going sober. His path to sobriety wasn't straightforward, but when is it ever for anyone?

He talks of how connection was vital for his sobriety to have firm foundations, how he decided to throw himself into the north sea every day for a year (and where that led him) and also his exciting plans for the future.

It's an episode full of emotion and also of great advice from someone who really has been there.

Diane has just celebrated 6 months of sobriety after a 'stop/start' relationship with alcohol and by her own confession not feeling that she had an off switch. She didn't have a rock bottom moment, she'd just had enough and felt it was time to retire from drinking.

What she's discovered in sobriety is improved mental and physical health, she's completely shifted her mindset around alcohol and doesn't feel like she is missing anything at all.

Feeling tired of the daily 'detox to retox' loop that Meg found herself in with alcohol, she decided to do something about it but it wasn't an instant fix as you'll hear in this episode. Along the way she uncovered so many intoxicating lies about alcohol that she even went on to write a book about it.

Now she is nearly 5 years sober and embraces how connected she feels in sobriety, how she is now listening to her intuition and has found a way to really be okay with the peace that surrounds her rather than the hustle and grind she used to know.
