You Don’t Have It All Figured Out – Lessons from Charlie’s Path to Sobriety

In this powerful and honest conversation, I sit down with Charlie to dive deep into his recovery journey. Charlie shares how his relationship with alcohol shifted from being a weekend offender to wanting to use on his own, until one day he made the life-changing decision that enough was enough and took his first steps into sobriety.

He opens up about his first attempt at staying sober, which lasted for a while, until one day at the races he decided to have a pint of Guinness. That single drink led him right back to where he had left off, reminding him how quickly things can spiral.

This time around, Charlie is fully committed to his sobriety. He talks about the deep inner work he’s doing every day, and the importance of staying connected to community. You can hear and see the difference his recovery has made—the glimmer in his eyes and the positivity radiating through his story speak volumes about the power of change.

This is an honest, raw, and real episode full of valuable takeaways. One of my personal favourites was Charlie’s reminder to listen and to accept that you don’t have it all figured out—a truth that applies not just to recovery, but to every area of life.
