When I was drinking, I was someone that you couldn’t trust…But we came back to England, and since then I’ve done lots of other things as well, always in sobriety.
Roger Davies’ life story reads like an adventure novel. At ten, he was told he'd never enjoy physical activities again. Fast forward to New Year’s Day 2020, and Roger found himself staring at two Guinness World Records with his name on them. In this episode of 'Beyond Recovery', host Matt Gardiner sits down with Roger to unravel his incredible journey from a violent criminal and alcoholic to an entrepreneur, charity worker, and record-breaking adventurer. Roger’s path wasn’t straightforward.
He faced addiction, crime, and even cancer, yet he emerged stronger each time. His tale is a roller coaster of highs and lows, from pulling a sled over desolate terrains to playing in the highest rugby games on Mount Everest at the age of 71. Through all these experiences, Roger highlights the power of support, self-discovery, and an unyielding mindset. He discusses how trauma often fuels addiction and how fellowship can be a lifeline for those in recovery.
This episode is not just about the adventures; it’s about the resilience and perseverance that turn life’s harshest trials into stepping stones for a brighter future. Whether you’re on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Roger’s story is a testament to the incredible heights one can reach with determination and support. Tune in for an inspiring chat that underscores the importance of community and inner strength in overcoming life’s toughest battles.
