    239. When your marriage doesn't survive your sobriety, acceptance and change at 5 years in with Kath Elliott

    239. When your marriage doesn't survive your sobriety, acceptance and change at 5 years in with Kath Elliott

    In this episode I catch up once again with Kath Elliot, who on the day of this recording was celebrating 5 years of no alcohol. The five years has not been without it's ups and downs. Her marriage suffered because of the difference in lifestyle choices, Kath had to grieve and let go of the old version of herself and her marriage. Her husband also grieved the old Kath and unfortunately their lifestyle choices no longer aligned and they have decided to seperate. Kath believes strongly in acceptance of change, although it can be sad, but realising it's also part of the process and being able to let go.
    Kath is a wonderful sober coach who works with men and woman, and who as a Breast Cancer survivor can really relate to women and loved ones who have decided to change their relationship with alcohol to support their health in their diagnosis.

    238. The alcohol helped me to fit in and feel accepted with 19Twenty's Kane Dennelly

    238. The alcohol helped me to fit in and feel accepted with 19Twenty's Kane Dennelly

    In this episode, I catch up with Kane Dennelly, the frontman and guitarist of the dynamic band 19Twenty. Known for his energetic stage presence and wild antics, Kane has transformed from the "life of the party" to embracing his inner "quiet guy." Join us as we delve into his profound journey of self-discovery and sobriety.
    Kane opens up about his transition from wild antics on stage, including drinking from bras, to finding peace in sobriety. We explore how a toxic relationship masked his feelings of not fitting in and led to excessive alcohol use. Kane candidly shares the incredible impact of two years of sobriety on his life, career, and personal relationships, providing a heartfelt look into his path of transformation.
    We also discuss how Kane's journey has influenced the music and dynamics within 19Twenty, highlighting the positive changes that have come from his decision to become sober. Kane reflects on the importance of embracing one's true self and the strength found in quiet introspection, offering valuable insights for anyone struggling with similar issues.

    235. When you feel like you are sinking past the point of no return with Osher Gunsberg

    In this episode I was so stoked to talk with much loved Australian TV host, radio presenter, podcast host and author Osher Gunsberg (formerly Andrew G). We talk about Osher's relationship with alcohol which was masking anxiety which he has suffered with from a young age. We chat about his history with alcohol, how like many of us, once he starts he can't stop, his rock bottom era and how he turned around just going day by day.

Keeping me sober

I’m newly sober and devouring this amazing, honest and very down to earth Aussie podcast! I love that it’s not just talking to celebs or public figures about their journey- Danni talks to ‘normal’ everyday people which is so much more relatable. So inspiring. Thanks Danni you legend!

Canfs ,

Thank you

Just started listening and am on ep 4 already after 3 days! It’s really really helping my journey (which started as cutting down but feel like it’s evolved)!! and feel like it’s giving me some real support. Thanks, Neil x

One of the best

I listen to a lot of recovery podcasts and this is one of the best ones out there. The show manages to stay really positive and entertaining, despite covering some very serious topics. Highly recommend listening.
