Mike’s story is one of resilience, heartbreak and transformation. ❤️

Growing up around pubs, fighting, alcoholism and substance abuse, Mike shares the experiences that shaped his life, from the loss of his sister to battling a bowel condition while continuing to drink.

Despite being told his drinking could cost him his life, Mike struggled to face reality.

Fast forward to today, and he’s nearly 7 years sober.

An honest and powerful conversation about addiction, denial, loss and finding a way forward.

🎙️ Listen to Mike’s story in our latest episode of ALERT.

In recovery, it’s easy to look back and remember the highlights, forgetting the pain, the consequences and the reality of what addiction was really like.

Becky shares a brilliant analogy: 🎬 You might watch a film trailer that looks amazing, only to sit through the whole film and realise it was rubbish!

Addiction can be the same. Our minds can replay the exciting moments while conveniently editing out the parts that hurt us.
Recovery means reminding ourselves of the whole story, not just the highlights. Because romanticising the past can make us forget why we chose a different future. ❤️‍🩹

From addiction and losing her way to finding recovery and rebuilding her life. ❤️‍🩹

In our latest episode of the ALERT Podcast, Becky shares her incredibly honest and powerful story.

What began as experimenting with substances gradually progressed into the rave scene, other drugs and eventually he**in at the age of 21.

Becky struggled with addiction for many years and we speak about how we related to her experiences to our own and the battles of addiction and substance abuse.

In June 2019, she got clean and began the journey of rebuilding her life ❤️

Thanks for sharing this powerful story with us!

🎙️ In this episode, Becky opens up about the realities of addiction, motherhood, relapse and finding a way forward when everything feels lost.

Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery isn’t always a straight line, but change is possible.

Ian has sold over 40,000 copies of his book "The simple path"

Here we talk a lot around gratitude (and resentments) and what it means to us individually and also our real struggles to put this into practice.

Patrick explains that just changing the word to thankfull or happy for worked wonders.

"Call off the search."
"What do we really need."
"Freedom of a child."

Resistance to a daily practice.

Still holding a grudge against someone that has died 2 decades ago.

What brings you balance? ⚖️

shares an exercise based around the Holistic Model of Wellbeing, focusing on four areas:

Spiritual. Mental. Emotional. Physical.

The idea is simple: look at each one and ask yourself, “What is it in this area that takes care of me?”

🧘 Spiritual might be a few minutes of silence each day.
🤝 Emotional might be connecting with someone you trust.
📖 Mental might be reading something positive away from social media.
🚶 Physical might be exercise, a slow walk in nature or simply moving your body.

For Ian, part of finding his physical balance recently has been pickleball, knowing that every few days he has something that gets him active and connects him with a group of people.
Ian, Nick, Pat and Ronnie also open up a deeper conversation around spirituality, wellbeing and what finding balance really means.

Now try the exercise yourself. NEW EPISODE OUT NOW

What takes care of you spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically? 💭

💜 September is Addiction Recovery Month 💜

Recovery is possible. It might not always be easy, and everyone’s journey looks different, but every step forward matters.

Addiction doesn’t discriminate, and neither should support. Whether you’re taking your first step towards recovery, supporting someone you love, or continuing a journey you’ve already started, you are not alone!

This month, let’s break the stigma, start conversations and remind people that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 🫶

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, reaching out for support could be the first step towards a different future.

💬 Don’t suffer in silence. Talk to someone. Ask for help. Start your recovery.
