It's a shelf that my wife can reach, but not easily. So that was that, so ok, because when I'd read this before, I had visions in my head of every time that you wanted a drink and you're hiding it in the shed, that you were popping out down the shed over the course of an evening for a big swig or something like that, and then it kind of dawned on me that you might be walking back up the garden just increasingly more pissed at the more journeys that you take, and that would be hard to hide.
Ever thought about the lengths someone might go to hide an addiction? In this gripping episode of 'Henry Weston's Old Mate', Stuart Butler pulls back the curtain on his own struggle with alcohol dependency. He doesn't hold back, sharing the extreme measures he took to keep his addiction under wraps.
From stashing bottles in the car to taking detours just to avoid using the same dustbin twice, Stuart's story is a stark reminder of how far addiction can push someone into deceit. But it's not just about hiding bottles; it's about the toll it takes on relationships and the constant fear of being found out. Stuart even opens up about the dangerous moments of drunk driving, making it clear how perilous addiction can be.
Despite the heavy topic, there's a silver lining. Stuart wraps up with a message of hope, underscoring the importance of seeking help and showing that recovery is within reach. This episode is a raw and honest look at addiction, perfect for anyone grappling with similar issues or supporting someone who is.
