Do you sometimes have a drink to get more confidence or get the dutch courage to socialise?

Today it is my great delight to bring you one of Australia’s best comedians Fiona O’Loughlin.

I admire her so, so much - not just because she’s insanely funny… but so beautifully honest about the toxic trap of her battle with alcohol addiction. 

In her book, Truths from an Unreliable Witness, Fiona shares just how bad it really got. 

Passing out on stage. Drinking herself into a coma. Chugging down hand sanitiser while on I’m a Celebrity get me out of here. And living in a drug den with a kooky healer. 

“We’ve got to get really open … really honest about what alcohol is.”

In this episode Fiona shares how she got the confidence to finally go public with ALL of it and advice for anyone else who wants to change their own relationship with drinking. 

So here’s the incredible Fiona O’Loughlin on Claiming Her Confidence.
