Emily Horwood

Thanks for joining me for this weeks episode of One For The Road. This week i am joined by Emily Horwood. Emily grew up in the noughties, amongst the parties of the primrose hill set and the carnage of Camden Town. The drink and the drug scene was in full swing and Emily's relationship with alcohol was off and running. As the people around her started to 'grow up' and have families, Emily continued to do what she knew...searching for the next 'high,' travelling, partying and jumping from job to job. Emily's life changed when she found herself in an abusive relationship, fuelled by alcohol. After seeking help to leave, Emily found that she was now drinking to 'escape' her reality, more than ever.  Emily's story, describes the 'grey-out' years from her mid 20's - mid 30's, she talks about having children as a way to 'fix' herself, she shares her darkest times and how she finally hit her emotional rock bottom. Emily shares her story of courage and determination to change her relationship with alcohol for good. We hear how she found the support she needed, her journey into Alcoholics Anonymous, her relapse and her comeback. We talk about the value of connection, accountability, maintenance and helping others and how the Sober Community is now one of the key tools that Emily uses to change her life for the better and to support others who are considering or trying out a new sober way of life.  Emily posts daily on her instagram page, @stepping_on_the_sober_train .... She shares nuggets of wisdom and lessons she is learning along the way on her Sober 'Journey.' http://www.emilyhorwood.com/http://www.womensaid.org.uk/http://www.thespeedomickfoundation.org/If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezhttps://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/ Hosted on Acast.
