Alasdair Gill on his journey to rehab and finding comfort in his father's words

Hurt to Healing: Mental Health & Wellbeing - A podcast by Pandora Morris - Tuesdays

Today, I'm speaking to chef and writer Alasdair Gill, the son of the well-known journalist AA Gill, about his own battle with addiction. Ali has spoken openly about how the words of his late father helped him to overcome his own addiction to drink and drugs. He explains how he hit rock bottom before finding the strength he needed to become sober two years ago with his father, Adrian, playing a crucial role in the breakthrough from Beyond the Grave. There were similarities between AA Gill’s personal struggle and Ali's, which were reflected in his father's memoir, which he penned after giving up alcohol aged 29. It was when Ali was presented with his memoir at a rehabilitation center near Edinburgh, which then instigated his own journey to sobriety. Find Ali Gill: Instagram: @aligill421Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram: @hurttohealingpod--A big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.
