    Episode 40: One Last Drink on Holiday: Matt’s Journey Back to His Family

    Matt lost his dad at 17 and started grieving at the bottom of a can. For the next three decades every week looked the same. Good intentions Monday to Thursday. Friday comes round... ‘I’ve worked all week, I deserve a beer.’  He tried to stop more than once. It never stuck. Today he’s 13 months alcohol-free, out on his bike by 7 on a Saturday morning, and his 20-year-old son has told him he wants to be exactly like him. Matt’s a construction worker, a dad of three, and an old school mate of mine. Last year he messaged me and we started working together. In this episode he takes us back to the weekend away when he walked round a corner holding a four-pack of Stella and saw the look on his daughter’s face.  He talks about the drinking culture on site, the voice that tells you you’ve earned it, and why the hardest part wasn’t the first fortnight but the month that came after. Then there’s the holiday. Halfway through our work together, he told himself he’d have one last drink.  What happened next is the reason we’re sat here a year on. We finish with Christmas Eve over the fields with his daughter instead of in the pub, the morning conversations he has with the man he wants to become, and the message his son sent me that I’ll never forget. If you keep telling yourself you’re not that bad, or you can do it on your own... Matt said exactly the same. This one’s for you. What you’ll hear: Why the first two weeks are easier than you think, and what to expect when the feelings hitHow one slip on holiday became the thing that shut the door for goodThe simple fridge exercise that helped Matt choose his kids over a can every timeHow to get through a holiday, a concert and the Friday banter on site without a drinkWhat changes at home when the rows stopWhy asking for help isn’t weak, and why doing it alone kept Matt stuck for yearsChapters: 00:00 Intro  00:55 Who is Matt Hobbs?  01:07 Growing up around drink  02:17 Losing his dad at 17  04:06 Good intentions Monday, back on it Friday  05:15 The drinking culture on the buildings  06:09 How do I do a wedding without a drink?  06:50 The freedom of a sober holiday  11:40 Grieving at the bottom of a can  12:47 What Saturday mornings used to look like  14:01 Coldplay at Wembley, sober  15:52 No more rows at home  18:00 ‘You’ve worked all week, you deserve a beer’  20:21 Why white-knuckling it never worked  21:25 Drinking for confidence  22:44 What his kids saw  24:28 The four-pack and the look on his daughter’s face  25:50 Why he picked up the phone  28:24 COVID and the morning four-pack  30:16 What he expected from coaching  32:20 The first month and beating himself up  34:08 ‘You stayed calm, Dad’  36:09 His whys on the fridge  39:54 One last drink on holiday  42:24 How the slip shut the door  46:25 Meditation and meeting his future self  54:06 The message from his son  58:00 Christmas Eve over the fields  58:55 How the house has changed  1:00:44 Handling Christmas, weddings and the big match  1:04:12 To the bloke who thinks he can do it alone  1:07:48 Advice to his younger self  1:09:32 The next chapter for Matt If Matt’s story sounds like yours, DM me on Instagram with the word READY for a free Alcohol-Free Clarity Session.

    Episode 39: Boxing Saved Him, His Son Saved Him Again: Sean's Journey to Winning Back His Son

    Fifteen years ago, boxing gave Sean what drink and cocaine never could. A focus. A way through. Twenty-six fights and nine years sober later, his ex stopped him seeing his son, and three weeks back on it took him to the lowest point of his life. Twenty months of family court later, he's raising his boy full time. And to do it, he's walked away from the sport that saved him. Sean was released by Rovers at 16, the same year his mum was diagnosed with cancer. Drink came first. Cocaine wasn't far behind. He always felt something was wrong with him and couldn't put his finger on it, so he numbed it. In this episode Sean takes us from the pubs and the police cells to the boxing gym that humbled him, and to the night he sat alone reading court papers about his son and said out loud... 'If you love him as much as you say you do, you'll stop.'  He hasn't touched it since. We talk about faith, the friends who never gave up on him, leaving a bad day in that day, and why he hung up the gloves after the head scans came back. A mate told him he'd already won the biggest fight of his life. He was right. If you're in the thick of it right now and can't see a way out... this one's for you. What you'll hear: • Why drink and drugs felt like the answer, and what they were really covering up • The one decision that ended a relapse overnight • How to stop one bad day turning into a bad month • Why the right people around you matter more than willpower • How to flip an addictive personality into something that builds you up • Why 'once is a mistake, twice is a choice' changed the dad Sean is today Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:53 An energetic kid always in trouble 02:07 Released by Rovers and the first drink 03:10 Feeling like something was wrong with him 04:22 Drink, cocaine and the comedown cycle 05:10 Fights, the police and a chip on his shoulder 07:15 From kickboxing to boxing 10:34 Sparring a future world champion 13:07 What boxing gave him 16:20 Why he got sober the first time 17:32 Relapsing after nine years 18:30 The night with the court papers 20:56 Managing mental health without the crutches 21:33 Faith and finding God 23:25 Belief, manifestation and Conor McGregor 26:57 Leave a bad day in that day 28:42 His lowest point 30:53 The friends who pulled him through 35:26 Walking away from boxing for his health 38:19 Flipping addiction into a superpower 41:36 Ricky Hatton and men's mental health 45:01 Coaching and giving back 46:49 Learning to like himself 48:03 A second chance with his son 50:45 What a good dad really is 56:13 Hope for any dad in the thick of it 1:00:06 Advice to his younger self 1:02:16 The next chapter for Sean Connect with Sean: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/seanminall88/ Ready to write your next chapter?

    Episode 38: No Rock Bottom Needed: Matt's Journey to Living Alcohol-Free...

    For 20 years Matt's drinking looked completely normal. Then COVID turned it into four or five nights a week. There was no rock bottom. Just a Champions League night with his son, three or four pints he never planned on, and a car he had to leave behind.  Five months later he's alcohol-free, back on the golf course, and his 14-year-old son has told him he doesn't plan on drinking when he's older. Matt started where most of us did. A bottle of cider in the park at 15, sending the tallest lad into the offy. From there it was pubs, then habit, then lockdown, when there was nothing to get up for and a crate of craft beer arrived every week.  In this episode we talk about the Tuesday cave-in, the voice that says you've earned it, and why his first four months off didn't stick. He'd kept it anonymous, and that left the door open.  This time he put his name and his face on it. Matt opens up about 'no man's land'... the strange gap between drinker and non-drinker. He talks about how he handled a free-bar 60th one week sober, a cruise and his first ever sober concert, and he explains the simple technique that stops the 'go on, you deserve it' voice in its tracks. We finish on the stuff that matters most. His kids. Evenings that belong to them again. And why men need to start talking. If you've ever planned a quiet one and woken up wondering how it turned into four... this one's for you. What you'll hear: • Why you don't need a rock bottom to decide enough's enough • How boredom quietly builds a drinking habit, and how to spot it before it sets in • Why going all in with your name, your face and real accountability worked where going anonymous didn't • Playing the tape forward: the technique that shuts down the 'I deserve it' voice • How to prepare for a free bar, a cruise and a concert without a drink • What changes at home when your evenings belong to your family again Chapters:  00:00 Intro: no rock bottom, just a night at the football  01:09 Cider in the park at 15  03:37 What 'normal' drinking looked like for 20 years  04:43 How COVID turned boredom into most nights  09:02 The night he had to leave the car behind  14:02 Four months off, moderation and the Tuesday cave-in  17:29 Why last time didn't stick, and going all in this time  19:36 Accountability and putting his name on it  22:45 Switching off after work and the fridge ritual  27:09 No man's land: if I'm not a drinker, what am I?  29:09 'Sobriety is boring' and getting old hobbies back  32:03 Anxiety, confidence and taking the edge off  34:42 Playing the tape forward  37:05 A free-bar 60th, a cruise and a first sober concert  40:43 The feeling of leaving the pub sober  42:26 Evenings with his kids now  45:04 When his son found his Instagram  49:44 Advice to his younger self: talk to someone  50:55 Why men don't talk  54:52 What success looks like now  59:12 The next chapter for Matt Connect with Matt: https://www.instagram.com/walkthesoberline/ Ready to write your next chapter?

    Episode 37: The Man Who Rebuilt His Life After Building His Own Prison | Russell Grant

    Russell Grant had the business, the money, the six-pack on the gym floor — and privately, he was £30,000 in debt, binge drinking three or four nights a week, and building what he now calls 'his own prison.'  Nobody could see it. Everyone thought he was winning. In this episode, Luke talks to Russell about the moment everything had to change — becoming a father, doing the deep internal work on beliefs and self-worth, and rebuilding his business and his life from the ground up.  They get into self-sabotage, emotional leverage, gratitude, and why most people aren't lazy, they're just doing their best with the tools they've got — and what happens once you realise you can pick up new ones. If you're grafting flat out right now and telling yourself it's all for your family — this conversation might change how you see it.

    Episode 36: The Floor Layer Who Became a Full-Time Trader | James Russell

    James Russell laid floors for a living, working every hour going because he never knew when the next job would come. Then a motorbike accident put him in a hospital bed next to a stranger who was still earning money from his laptop — and that was the moment everything started to shift. In this episode, Luke sits down with his old friend James to talk about the decade of "all hours" tradesman graft, the slow burn from flooring to affiliate marketing to full-time trading, and the four years of sobriety that changed everything underneath it.  They talk peer pressure, self-doubt, what trading actually is beneath the hype, and why James still gets up two hours early to learn something new even now. If you're on site right now wondering whether a different life is possible for someone like you — this one's for you.

    Episode 35: From Party Animal to Ultra Marathoner: Andrew's Journey to 1,000 Days Sober

    Andrew's weekends used to start on a Thursday. Five, six, seven, eight beers in, and he'd have no idea where the night would end up. Now he's over a thousand days alcohol-free and training for his first ultra marathon, often with his son by his side. In this episode Andrew opens up about the years he spent telling himself he wasn't doing anything wrong. Just having a laugh, not harming anyone, living his life. The real shift came when he was diagnosed with ADHD and started to see the connection between his mental health and his drinking.  No coach, no programme. Just a bloke who got sick enough of who he was to do something about it. If you've ever told yourself the same thing Andrew used to, that it's not that bad, that you're not hurting anyone, this one's for you. What you'll hear: Why Andrew's weekends started on a Thursday and where that pattern actually came fromThe moment he realised drinking wasn't the real problem, it was what was underneath itHow an ADHD diagnosis changed the way he understood himselfThe role discipline, faith and mindset played in staying soberWhy he channels his energy into fitness now, including training with his sonHow he's turned his sobriety into a charity ultra marathon for Great Ormond Street HospitalChapters:   00:00 Introduction to Andrew's transformative journey  02:45 Andrew's life before sobriety and the turning point  18:32 The moment Andrew decided to quit alcohol  20:14 Discipline, mindset, and the role of fitness  22:34 The influence of books, faith, and spirituality  25:23 Channeling energy into healthy habits  28:37 The importance of honesty and self-awareness  35:37 The rewards of sobriety and personal growth  57:10 Andrew's charity ultra marathon for Great Ormond Street Hospital  01:00:06 Next challenges and giving back  01:02:22 Advice for those considering sobriety or lifestyle change Connect with Andrew:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/activedad_ajt/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@andrews_healing_journey Support his ultra marathon: https://www.justgiving.com/page/andrew-tinkler-2 Great Ormond Street Hospital — the charity Andrew is running his ultra marathon for.

    Episode 34: He Drank Because Nobody Taught Him What Else to Do: Michael 'The Chavvy Hippie's' Journey to Two Years Sober

    At 14 he was sending mates into the corner shop in Middlesbrough. By his twenties he was running a charity and a digital agency at the same time, drinking to cope with the pressure of both. Two years ago he stopped completely — and today he runs breathwork and meditation retreats from the Lake District to Crete. Michael's story isn't about hitting rock bottom in the dramatic sense. It's about a bloke who kept the party going through Benidorm, Dubai, and running his own bar in Spain, always telling himself he had it under control — until his body started telling him otherwise. In this episode he talks openly about growing up around a drinking culture that felt completely normal, the moment his throat closed up and he ended up in hospital, and the colitis diagnosis that finally made him stop and look at what he was doing to himself.  We get into why breathwork gave him the same hit he used to chase in the pub, why so many men won't even try it because of pride, and how "never say never" changed his relationship with drink for good. If you've ever used a pint to switch off because nobody ever taught you another way — this one's for you. What you'll hear: Why growing up in Middlesbrough meant drinking was never really a choiceThe physical wake-up call in Benidorm that started shifting thingsHow building a bar in Spain to £4,800 a day nearly cost him everything elseWhy breathwork gives the same dopamine hit alcohol used toThe real reason men avoid vulnerability — and why that's changingHow "never say never" got him through the hardest three months of going alcohol-freeChapters:  00:00 Introduction and guest background  02:11 Growing up in Middlesbrough and drinking culture  04:53 Awareness of alcohol's impact then and now  06:30 Changing perceptions of wellness and mental clarity  09:26 Curiosity and acceptance of wellness practices  13:38 The journey into sobriety and moving abroad  16:13 Experiences in Benidorm and Dubai  21:50 Challenges with alcohol in Spain  24:01 Returning to the UK and shifting focus  27:56 The role of meditation and breath work in recovery  32:28 The evolution of wellness practices over years  36:23 The influence of environment and social groups  40:56 Overcoming social pressures and group dynamics  43:17 The importance of boundaries and identity  50:22 Men's mental health, masculinity, and vulnerability  54:52 The origins of the Chavvy Hippie and retreats  56:57 What happens on a wellness retreat  01:01:29 The purpose and future of the wellness journey  01:04:37 Advice to younger self and embracing change  01:07:53 Next steps and community impact  01:11:54 Reflections on meditation and personal growth  01:12:13 Closing remarks and gratitude Connect with Michael:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechavvyhippy/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575970244259&locale=en_GB TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thechavvyhippy Website: https://thechavvyhippie.co.uk The Next Chapter — because it's never too late to write a better story.

    Episode 33: From The Motor Trade To 5 Million Views: Alex's Journey To Chasing Freedom

    Alex spent two decades in the motor trade earning good money, until one thought wouldn't leave him alone: grind, retire, die — is this really it?  So he emptied his family's entire savings, walked away from the only career he'd ever known, and started a podcast with one rule — every guest gets asked the same question: who are you? Twenty-eight days after posting his first clip, he'd racked up 5 million views. This episode is about what happens when the life on paper looks fine but something underneath knows it isn't. Alex talks about growing up in Nottingham after his parents split, falling into the wrong crowd, and the hustle that eventually carried him into car sales.  He's honest about the fear that came with betting his entire savings on an unproven idea, and about the guilt that sits alongside chasing something new when you've got a family relying on you. If you've ever looked at a life that's "fine" and felt that quiet unease that it should be more than fine — this one's for you. What you'll hear: How a rough upbringing in Nottingham shaped Alex's hustle and work ethicThe exact moment the "grind, retire, die" thought became impossible to ignoreWhat it actually cost him — financially and emotionally — to walk awayWhy he refused to convert his personal social pages, starting from zero followers on purposeHow authenticity and genuine connection built an audience faster than strategy didHis honest take on regret, fear, and backing yourself with no safety netChapters:  00:00 — Introduction and episode overview  01:01 — Alex's childhood and early influences  04:07 — Transition from youth challenges to motor trade  09:12 — The awakening and desire for freedom  11:49 — Starting the podcast and building connections  15:47 — The impact of authenticity and vibe in content creation  19:46 — Monetisation, social media growth, and audience engagement  25:59 — Acting ambitions and future plans  48:06 — Advice to younger self and reflections on life  48:51 — Next steps, legacy, and supporting others Connect with Alex: The Human Mask Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehumanmaskpodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehumanmaskpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thehumanmaskpodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thehumanmaskpodcast Send us Fan Mail Support the show If you got value from this episode, don’t just sit on it—take action.  Like, subscribe, and follow the show—it makes a massive difference and helps us reach more people who need to hear these stories.  Share this with a mate who needs the truth, leave a review, and remember: change doesn’t happen by accident.  It happens when you get honest, do the work, and show up for yourself and your family.
