This is an amazing conversation with Sam who has completely turned his mindset and attitude around in going sober. His path to sobriety wasn't straightforward, but when is it ever for anyone?

He talks of how connection was vital for his sobriety to have firm foundations, how he decided to throw himself into the north sea every day for a year (and where that led him) and also his exciting plans for the future.

It's an episode full of emotion and also of great advice from someone who really has been there.
