On this week’s episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast Patrick is joined by Sam Ortyl. Sam is a mental health instructor and speaker.
Sam shares his honest, raw and inspiring journey about hitting rock bottom and then making a choice to no longer have alcohol as part of his life.
Some of the amazing topics we cover are:
- Recognising a dependence to alcohol
- Using alcohol to cover up anxiety
- Unhelpful, outdated male conditioning around being strong
- Sam’s rock bottom moment
- The power of your story, how the impact of where you are now can help others in the future
- Reframing your mindset - How is this happening for me?
- Conversations around mental health, suicidal thoughts and how to get support
- The power of having conversations around what you’re thinking and feeling, talking to yourself and journaling
- Your environment creates your reality
