One For The Road David Wilson

This week on One For The Road i am joined by Andy Stone. After an early ADHD diagnosis in his teens Andy struggled greatly through 2 school expulsions and thus had an early introduction to drugs and alcohol. Through his 20’s and early 30’s unable to hold down a long-term job or to succeed in the classroom the shame
of failure and the guilt of under achieving caused prolonged bouts of victim mindset and poor mental health. Being unable to cope Andy sought help from both private and NHS mental health workers and was prescribed Ritalin, Valium and SSRI’s in conjunction with an ever increasing drinking tolerance and cocaine habit. Until, at the age of 34, Andy’s health reached the point that serious steps needed to be taken! Once through residential rehab and into the fellowships of AA, NA and OA Andy was then able to make a drastic recovery! On his new trajectory not only has Andy been able to educate himself as to the reasons why his neurodiversity caused him to become addicted to drugs and alcohol, but to utilize that same condition to propel him into the record books. Andy has elevated his health and fitness to the level of setting a Guinness World Record in endurance triathlons, swim with 23 species of shark without a cage and he now training to swim the English Channel later this year with plans to go on and become the first person to ‘officially’ swim the Atlantic! With a documentary of his story due out later this year, a budding career in pro speaking and mentoring neurodiverse teens in alternative education Andy is out help others to educate themselves so as no to fall into the same traps he did.

This week i am joined on One For The Road by Allie Bailey who is an ultrarunner, coach, speaker and podcaster who has run in some of the most extreme places in the world. In 2024 she released her first book “There is No Wall”, a brutally honest, sometimes shocking account of alcoholism, depression and severe mental breakdowns that almost cost her her life. She would like it to be known that despite this doom worthy introduction, she is “super good fun.” Allie tends to swear quite a lot. Allie was the first woman to run 100 miles across frozen Lake Khövsgöl in Mongolia and to run the full length of the Panama Canal. She has crossed the inhospitable Namib Desert three times, run the length of the Outer Hebrides and completed a 1,000-mile off-road version of the classic Land’s End to John o’Groats route in just thirty days. Allie has finished over 200 marathons and ultramarathons all over the world, but the most remarkable thing about all of these achievements is that she accomplished most of them while battling depression and alcoholism. Although running ultimately became the vehicle that helped buy Allie the time to recover from a number of severe mental health breakdowns, it did not save her. In fact, there were times when it made her battle all the more difficult. After a seismic mental health crisis in 2021, Allie finally admitted to herself and those around her that she was an alcoholic and started her recovery. She left behind a dream career with major record labels and adventure companies and now works as a coach with a broad range of runners and endurance athletes, helping them unlock their full potential.

On today’s episode on One For The Road I have to issue a trigger warning as there are discussions around child abuse and suicide. My guest on todays show today is Lucy Bruce. Lucy lives in Glasgow with her two daughters and has now been sober for 18 years. Her childhood was impacted by alcohol, violence & sexual abuse and she self-medicated with alcohol throughout her teens and early twenties until suicidal thoughts and panic attacks made her seek help to get sober. Despite removing alcohol Lucy struggled with unresolved childhood trauma & suffered from obtrusive thoughts surrounding her pregnancies until years later when she experienced MDMA Therapy and has never looked back. Lucy is a single parent, has weathered divorce, co-dependent relationships and loss but still lives a life free from alcohol. She is passionate about her children and work as an Alcohol-free coach and wants to share her story with women who may be going through similar experiences to help get rid of the stigma around the issues.

Welcome back to One For The Road. This week i am joined by Sharon and Lauretta, an acclaimed comedy double act who have appeared in numerous TV and stage productions, developed sitcoms with comedy giants, and written plays for the West End. Sharon and Lauretta went from red wine-drinking Chinese take-out aficionados to thriving advocates of a plant-based lifestyle. Sharon's diagnosis of a rare autoimmune disease was a turning point that led them down a path of resilience, determination, and ultimately, transformation. Sharon was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease just before her son was born over 9 years ago. She was covered from head to toe in a chronic rash, and at times was wheelchair-bound. On a concoction of very toxic drugs and steroids, she decided she needed to find another way to get better. Her sister was determined to do everything she could to help Sharon. Her husband left her at six months pregnant, and she was now looking after Sharon, her daughter, and Sharon's son. As two single Mums living together with very young children, they decided they wanted to do everything to get Sharon's health back. After extensive research and a lot of trial and error, together they transitioned into a plant-based diet with lots of nutrient-dense foods, gave up alcohol and processed foods. Lauretta retrained as a natural vegan chef concentrating on nutrition. Sharon is now off all drugs, feels better than ever, and is back running. They decided they wanted to inspire others and in 2018 set up a wellness retreat, The Detox Barn followed by launching their first product, Funki Coffee, and their hugely successful podcast - The Gavin Sisters Wellness Show.
