How do you live a fulfilling life after coming to terms with addiction problems?

John speaks to the journalist, author and broadcaster Bryony Gordon about confronting her alcohol and drug addictions, finding ways to quieten the negative voice in her head, and how running and exercise have transformed her life for the better.

Bryony talks about her difficult and reluctant journey towards confronting her alcoholism, how even associating herself with the word was a huge challenge. She and John share their recovery journeys, and talk about the importance of reaching out for help.

On Thursday in our bonus episode The Gratitude List, Bryony shares the 5 things that she is currently grateful for.
