In this raw and honest conversation, Chris takes us all the way back to the beginning - underage drinking in pubs, legal highs and how alcohol became the reliable trigger for everything else. 

Because for Chris it was never just a drink. Every time he drank, cocaine followed, then the gambling, the pornography, the compulsive sexual behaviour -  a cluster of destructive habits that fed each other and kept him locked in a cycle he couldn’t see a way out of.

We talk about what it actually feels like to be several times a week deep in substances while holding a life together on the outside. The shame, the rituals and the false logic that tells you it’s still under control.

Chris then shares exactly what shifted, what he did differently and how he built a life that looks nothing like the one he was living. - two years completely substance-free. 

Goals achieved that once felt impossible by a version of himself he didn’t know existed.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like the drink was just the door that opened to everything else. Chris’s story is proof that closing that door changes everything behind it.
