Rich & Ben are back for episode 2 & this week they’re flying without wings.

The Sober Men, or as Ben says, the podcasting Westlife, continue to share the positive impacts of living a sober life.

They dive into the stages of denial plus the honesty & accountability needed entering early sobriety & beyond.

It’s a big week for Rich, as he celebrates 5 years of sobriety, boom! And how being able to recognise & admit the need to make change, is so important.

Rich & Ben share the mental clarity & energy they now enjoy & how support networks are vital for sustained sobriety.

Ben’s growing his hair; Rich think’s he more Patrick Swayze than Barry Gibb. And Ben tells Rich why the actor, Anthony Hopkins is a big sober inspiration & the subject of this week’s “Who’s in the Frame?”
