Season 6 Episode 8 with Sam Phillips

We are back for season six episode eight of our podcast. Alex and Lisa chat with Sam (Aka Dare to dip) about cold water therapy and how it can be a fantastic addition to sobriety and therapy for mental health!
Sam struggled with his Mental Health for years, specifically anxiety and depression. The anxiety started in school and Sam had no idea what this feeling was in his chest. He soon learnt that it was not physical pain but a mental one.
Later in life, he turned to alcohol and drugs, which soon escalated leading him to go off the rails. This only heightened his anxiety and escalated his feelings of depression.
Sam discovered Cold Water Therapy, and decided to train his body with 30 days of cold water showers.
And then like everything else he does in life, he wanted to take this to the next level.
Sam decided to take a dip in the North Sea every day for a year and is now asking people to support him by joining in or donating to his charity of choice, Anxiety UK!

Two call her Nanny Barbie, one calls her Mum, one calls her Wifey and some call her Bea. Her relationship with booze - social>binge>grey area drinker literally that quick, it just hit her. Barbara needed to think about this before it became too late, so she did. On 7th February 2021 she decided to ditch the booze and focus on herself and the more important relationships in her life.

Season 6 Episode 3 with Sarah Williamson

We are back for season six episode three of our podcast. Alex and Lisa chat with Sarah Williamson, a Bee Sober Head Coach and Ambassador for Surrey about sober life, friendships and sober adventures.
When Sarah was 41, she made the decision to quit alcohol for a year, she told a few friends that she was going to do it and once she had said it out loud she knew She’d have to see it through or lose face! Sarah started to count down to her start date, still binge drinking and wondering how she was going to pull it off when she realised she was stalling for time, so she quit there and then. Sarah had her last drink – nothing monumental, out with a few friends and no hangover the next day and that was that. No crushing rock bottom – just a feeling of relief about a decision well made.

Season 5 Episode 10 with Kim Bellas aka Sober Is The New Cool

On today’s episode we speak to Kim Bellas, aka Sober is the New Cool.
In 2013, her 15 -year-old started having seizures. Like most teenagers, he enjoyed going to parties and socializing. A significant aspect of these parties was the consumption of alcohol, and her son was unable to drink due to his seizures.
As a mother, it was instinctive to make him happy by assuring him that alcohol wasn't necessary for him to enjoy himself. It IMMEDIATELY dawned on her how hypocritical she was being as she found herself frequently drinking wine.
To prove a point to her son, she stopped drinking for 3 months. The time went by quicker than she anticipated, and she decided to remain sober for another 3 months. Following 6 months of sobriety, she found herself happier than she had been in a while. What started as an example for her son became something she decided to commit to for her son and herself.
It's now 2022, and she is proud to announce that she has been sober for 8 years. Sobriety has changed her outlook on life for the better and has improved both her physical and mental well-being.
Her goal is to demonstrate that a SOBER LIFE is an exhilarating one, and anyone can reap the benefits.
