How to Manage Stress: A Health Scare and a Break-up with Alcohol
How to Manage Stress with Tricia WoolfreyShow Notes
A health scare is bad enough at the best of times. But when you find out that alcohol - something you enjoy too much of and too often, is the cause? Denial almost killed my guest Angus Grady who speaks honestly about how an emergency visit to A&E resulted in a 3 week stay in hospital with a life-threatening case of artrial fibrilation. This caused his abuse of alcohol. This made him face the truth about his problem with alcohol. It affected his business and his relationships. And of course his health.
He has been sober now for 17 years and in this video he talks about how he achieved it and how he is a changed man - in the best of ways - because of it. He was, as he puts it, given the gift of a new start and he wasn't going to waste it This is a really honest, no holds barred interview from someone who had reached the bottom but made his way out.
Do comment, like and share: you never know who else might be in denial and whose life you might save by this inspiring story.
