Back On Track: Redefining Sobriety with Sam West

In this episode, I sit down with Sam West (@sambackontrack) to explore his powerful sobriety journey and the lessons he’s learned along the way. Sam opens up about hitting rock bottom, finding clarity through alcohol-free living, and the moment he tried to reintroduce drinking back into his life—only to realize that alcohol simply isn’t something that works for him.

We also dive into:

• The UK’s definition of an “alcoholic” and why Sam believes this label can keep people trapped in a negative cycle.
• How shifting the language around addiction and recovery can help more people break free and make lasting change.
• The tools and mindset shifts that have helped Sam stay grounded, including running, fitness, and community support.

Sam’s honesty and insight make this an episode for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol or seeking to build a healthier, more empowered lifestyle.
