Welcome back everyone to Season 8 of One For The Road, its so great to be back! I've got Kate Taylor joining me for the first episode back of this season.

Kate is a writer who has lived in London, New York and Rome and in her own words, has ‘decided to give sobriety a go because I’ve drunk my share, and half of yours’. After drinking for over 20 years, pretty much on a daily basis, Kate decided she needed to quit and recorded a drunken message to herself one night that would turn out to be instrumental in changing the course of her life.

Thanks for joining me for this bonus episode of One For The Road. I am joined by Louise Morgan from Tweak Life, our sponsor of One For The Road Podcast.

Louise has spent 2 decades in financial services, alongside her day job as a financial adviser. Louise set up Tweak Life which is a platform that brings together well-being providers, research, tools, apps and charities all together in one place. 

Following her experience of post-natal depression and many life events of other people around her, Louise wanted to provide a platform where people could easily find the help they needed for free. Louise stopped drinking 5 months ago, and we discuss on todays episode all of the advantages that not drinking has brought to Louises life. It was not the volume of alcohol that led Louise to spoke drinking, but the anxious feeling it left her with. Louise is now proudly alcohol free, and supports the message that you do not have to be at rock bottom to stop drinking.

Thanks for joining me for the final episode of season 7 One For The Road and for all of your support throughout the season as always. This week I am joined by Paul Drayton.

Comedian, model and actor Paul graduated with a bachelor's in acting from the drama centre London, and starred in several movies and tv shows including the old time favourite, Byker Grove. He met his now ex husband Alan Carr in 2008 and began assisting Alan in his career and being house husband alongside other various roles to support Alan whilst building up a property portfolio. Paul's relationship with alcohol went on a steady downward trajectory and after several stints in rehab, and a turbulent personal year in 2015 Paul became reliant on alcohol, using it as a crutch. Paul is now almost one year sober and currently working on a one man show titled "The evolution of an alcoholic" which he plans to show in small venues across the UK, donating the proceeds to those less fortunate than him self struggling with the same disease.
