How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In the latest episode of 'Breaking The Habit', Kristian Clark sits down with his friend Gaz, who shares his compelling story of recovery. Gaz, a fellow traveller on the path to sobriety, opens up about the ups and downs of his journey, including the pivotal role that support from others played in his transformation.
With humorous banter and heartfelt honesty, Gaz recounts how he was guided into his first AA meeting and the impact of lockdown on his drinking habits. He candidly discusses the importance of finding one's rock bottom and how it can lead to a desire for change. The episode highlights how crucial it is to have support systems and coping mechanisms in place, like reaching out to fellow sufferers or taking time out when life gets overwhelming.
