“I think some of us often lose quite a little bit in terms of the city based lifestyle, which I don't think we're really designed for.”

What started as a 'medicine' quickly became a 'poison', leading him to consume up to twenty pints a day. His candid discussion reveals the dark days of his addiction and the pivotal moment when he decided enough was enough. After moving back to Cumbria, Harrison found unexpected support from friends who encouraged him to take up hiking.
One friend even gifted him a pair of walking boots and took him up a fell in the Lake District, sparking a newfound love for the outdoors. This shift not only helped him stay sober but also ignited a passion for cooking in nature, earning him the nickname 'The Fell Foodie'. Harrison shares some of the lighter moments and challenges he's faced along the way, offering practical advice for anyone struggling with alcohol dependency.
