08 Scott (The Boy Who Drank Too Much) AKA Proud and Sober

Scott, also known as AKA Proud and Sober (Was The Boy Who Drank Too Much when this was recorded), is a sober activist and LGBTQI+ advocate and this week I’m talking to him about all things sobriety. At just over one year sober, Scott’s mission is to support others in their journey to sobriety and be of value to the LGBTQI+ community. We discuss everything from self medicating to when drinking gets too much, through to whether sobriety affects friendships and how to deal with your emotions when you get sober. Essentially we let you know what happens when you remove alcohol from your life for good and have to mourn the death of drinking you and embrace the sober you underneath.

ABOUT THE SHOW

TIWIK is a love letter to my younger self. A conversation about all the things we were told not to talk about. A sharing of knowledge, emotions and laughs.

A potential handbook (or the audio equivalent) on how to master your mental health and fall back in love with yourself! Nothing is off limits. We talk about everything from dating, suicide and mental health through to make up, skin care, magic and spirituality.

It's all the things I wish I'd known when I was younger so hopefully me and my guests will save you some heartache, provide some laughs, and inspire you to try something new helping you to grow from the inside out.
