S3 Ep126: Jonny Whitehead: Jonny's Journey

In this episode we chat to Jonny from Halifax, who's recently celebrated his first year alcohol free! When you meet Jonny he's a tall bloke with a big booming voice and a huge amount of energy. In this conversation, you'll hear how vulnerable this bloke is confident enough to be.  Jonny talks about why he decided to go alcohol-free whilst on holiday after discovering Annie Grace's podcast and an episode with some Northern lass called Sharon, which lead him to hours and hours of alcohol-free content with Over The Influence! He also talks about how he made the conscious decision to carry on with his life, including socialising within boozy environments, but just with a different number on his bottle - and how being resolute in his decision helped him to do that. The episode ends with Jonny reading a card he received from his late Mum, and how his decision to go alcohol-free gave her pride and peace. Jonny is first and foremost a family man - and being alcohol-free hasn't just had an impact on him, but everyone around him. --- Get In Touch: Of course, you can always get in touch with us (publicly or privately) on our socials - @alcoholfreepod on Instagram, or search for "Over The Influence" on Facebook.
