Summary
In this episode of the Sober Motivation podcast, we have Sam. Originally from the UK, Sam talks about suffering from health anxiety from a young age and turning to alcohol and later drugs to alleviate his fears and anxieties. Sam talks about his gradual descent into full-blown addiction which eventually cost him his home, and job and nearly resulted in his death. However, Sam turns his life around through cold water therapy, connection, joining fellowships and immense support from his family. Sam credits openness and connection with others as major contributors to his progress. Today, 27 months sober, Sam uses his experiences to inspire others and raise awareness about sobriety and mental health. His message is that it's never too late to start the journey towards sobriety and personal growth.
