    S3 Ep175: Caroline Evers-Endacott: cee-change.com
    Jul 29 2024
    In this episode we are delighted to welcome Caroline Evers-Endacott to Over The Influence!

    In 2018, the loss of a loved one led Caro to rethink the way she was living her life. She left her fast-paced city career behind, and along with it an unhealthy drinking habit that was part of the job.

    Caro started her training in therapy and today, she is an integrative therapist working with common mental health presentations and has a special interest in addiction treatment.

    Thanks so much to Caro for so generously sharing her time and story with us, if you'd like to find out more about Caro then you can visit cee-change.com

    S3 Ep174: John Whaite: Ruff Puff Brownies
    Jul 22 2024
    It's one of our faves, the wonderful John Whaite is back on the pod!

    Since we last spoke to John on the pod, he has been diagnosed with ADHD. He talks to us about how he thinks his drinking and ADHD were related to one another, and how life is so much more manageable now that he has both under control.

    We're so grateful to John for coming on to the pod and sharing his time with us. He's always great to chat to and we wish him all the best for his new business Ruff Puff Brownies.

    See you next time John!

  • S3 Ep173: Pippa Morris: AF In The Goldie

    S3 Ep173: Pippa Morris: AF In The Goldie
    Jul 15 2024
    This week we welcome the wonderful Pippa Morris onto the podcast!

    Pippa gave up drinking around the same time as our Ben after the first lockdown in 2020. She tried out moderation too and then decided that after successfully completing her first year with no alcohol, that the sober life looked good on her.

    It's an open and honest conversation about life's stresses and how we think that alcohol is helping us cope with them, when really alcohol is at the root of many of the problems.

    We want to thank Pippa for coming on to the pod and I don't know about you, but I think an OTI away day to the GC to go and say hi sounds pretty good!

    S3 Ep171: Sarah O'Mara: Red Rose Recovery
    Jul 1 2024
    This week we welcome the fantastic Sarah O'Mara onto the podcast!

    Sarah is the Drug and Alcohol Lead for Lancashire (our Shaz's neck of the woods!) and in her role with Red Rose Recovery she and the rest of the organisation provide a support platform to individuals from vulnerable groups to reduce their dependency on drugs and/or alcohol so that they can develop themselves and create thriving, sustainable communities.

    In this episode, Sarah opens up about her struggles with alcoholism and the personal tragedies that it led to for her. Now she's taking the negative that was that struggle and turning it into a positive by turning other people's lives around too.

    Thanks so much to Sarah for coming on the pod! The world needs more people like you. You can find out more about Red Rose Recovery at www.redroserecovery.org.uk

    S3 Ep170: Ellie Webb: Caleño
    Jun 24 2024
    This week we welcome the wonderful Ellie Webb to the podcast! Ellie is the founder of one of our favourite AF drink brands, Caleño.

    While taking a break from alcohol in 2017, Ellie was shocked at how limited the drinks options were for people who didn't drink. We've all had the conversation with the bar person where they've looked back at us blankly after asking about their alcohol free options to hear "yeah, do you want a coke?". Well, Ellie decided enough was enough.

    Now in 2024, Caleño is flying off the shelves in the supermarkets and bar are stocked full of it. If you'd like to stock your fridge full of it too, you can visit calenodrinks.com

  • S3 Ep169: Ian Thurlbeck: Four Years AF!

    S3 Ep169: Ian Thurlbeck: Four Years AF!
    Jun 17 2024
    Our community member Ian Thurlbeck is back for his third round in the OTI ring!

    We spoke to Ian after one year, then two years and so now we're catching up with him again after four years to find out what alcohol free life is like for him further down the road.

    We chat about the new habits he has formed as a result of ditching alcohol and how the integration into alcohol free wasn't the shock he suspected that it might be.

    If you're inspired by Ian's story, then we're sure he'd love to meet you! We're very lucky that Ian hosts regular Zoom calls for us in our OTI Community, and you can find all of the details below if you think connection could be the missing piece of the puzzle for you.

    S3 Ep168: Alex Clapp: Claritee
    Jun 10 2024
    This week Shaz and Ben are joined by Alex Clapp, a sober events organiser with his company Claritee based in the North West of England.

    Alex chats everything from pickles to pandas on this episode (it'll make sense) and shares his story of how sobriety has opened a whole new world to him that he didn't know could exist on the other side of ditching alcohol.

    If you would like to take a look at what events Club Claritee have coming up, visit clubclaritee.uk or you can follow @clubclaritee.uk on Instagram.
