Breaking Free from Britain's Drinking Culture: Sam Delaney's Journey
“I suppose you probably might get a lot of clients like this. I just let it all get on top of me: the pressure, exhaustion, a complete inability and lack of desire to ever talk about it or admit it, the way that I was feeling, and, quite simply, I started to self-medicate in My Mid To Late 30s with alcohol and cocaine, quite secretively.”
Sam Delaney, a well-known journalist and broadcaster, opens up about his tumultuous relationship with alcohol in this episode of the 'Soberful' podcast.

His reflections offer a raw and honest look at the challenges of addiction and the path to recovery. For anyone feeling trapped in a cycle of alcohol use, Sam's story provides a beacon of hope. He talks about finding support, smashing harmful belief systems, and the surprising benefits of sobriety.
