In this episode, Louisa is joined by John to talk about what life has looked like since he stopped drinking, and the things he’s come to value far more on the other side of it.
John has lived with OCD for many years and, after getting sober, was diagnosed with ADHD. He talks about what it's been like to understand his brain differently, particularly without alcohol in the mix, and how drinking would completely wipe him out every time, affecting far more than just the hours he spent drinking.
His three benefits of sobriety are clarity, his creativity and his mornings.
