We Recover Loudly – Unfiltered Stories, Unapologetic Recovery
S2 Episode 026 - Anthony Hammond - From Boozing in Pubs to A Pub with NO Booze!
In this new episode of We Recover Loudly, Shell is joined by Aussie entrepuneor Anthony Hammond, who is the brains behind Pub with NO booze. Anthony, a second generation publican, had always been immersed in the world of hospitality since his childhood in country pubs. In 2013 he first had glimmers that his drinking was causing problems, but it was not until 2021 that he went to rehab and has since been enjoying a sober life, with a mission in the industry.
Anthony Hammond shares his experiences growing up in a pub environment, where drinking was normalized both at home and in the community. He describes how drinking culture was prevalent during his childhood and continued into his time working in hospitality, where after-shift drinks were a common social practice among staff. However, he now recognises how ingrained this culture can be and the challenges it poses, particularly as it can blur the lines between social enjoyment and problem drinking. Through his initiative "Pub With No Booze," he aimsed to provide alternatives and challenge these associations, promoting enjoyment and camaraderie without the reliance on alcohol.
This is a fun-filled and informative conversation with poignant moments, that explore the glamorous side of bartending and working in drink venues, while also touching on the challenging moments when things take a darker turn.
