Sam Ortyl: Conquering Rock Bottom and Embracing Mental Health

Being radically human is being perfectly imperfect. Being human and accepting that without judgment will help you live a life without so many internal conflicts.
Ever hit rock bottom and wondered how to climb back up? This episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast features Patrick Fox chatting with Sam Ortyl, a mental health instructor and speaker, who has been there and back. Sam opens up about his lowest point and the moment he decided to remove alcohol from his life for good. This isn't just another sobriety story; it's an honest look at recognizing alcohol dependence and using it to mask anxiety.
Sam dives into the often-overlooked issue of outdated male conditioning that pushes men to appear strong, even when they're struggling inside. Sam’s journey is a testament to the power of sharing personal stories. He discusses how deep conversations and journaling can help you understand your thoughts and feelings better. Sam also touches on the importance of changing your mindset and seeing challenges as opportunities for growth. He emphasizes that your environment plays a crucial role in shaping your reality.
The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like suicidal thoughts and mental health struggles. Instead, it offers practical advice on how to seek support and start meaningful conversations about what you're going through. Sam’s message is clear: being radically human and accepting yourself without judgment is key to living a fulfilled life. If you're looking for inspiration to make a change or just want to hear a raw, uplifting story, this episode is a must-listen.
