About this episode

Ash shares his journey of sobriety and the emotional challenges he faced along the way.

 It's a heavy ep today but an important one.  Ash opens up about his sobriety journey now he's made it to day 100... a milestone he and Matt weren’t sure he’d reach. Ash stopped drinking simply to have a break - but what it unleashed is something bigger than he could've ever imagined and now he's not sure he can go back. It’s a really honest and, at times, emotional chat. We touch on mental health and some of the struggles he’s faced along the way. Importantly though, Ash is in a really good headspace right now and this is him reflecting on some of the tougher times. As always, we’re super proud of him and grateful he felt comfortable sharing it with you all.
