Thanks for joining me for the final episode of season 6 of One For The Road; this week I am joined by Mike Faria.Mike is a 37 year old content creator, born and raised in New Jersey. As a teenager, he experimented with drugs and alcohol to deal with his childhood trauma. In October 2019, he went into a major depression and began drinking more than he ever had in his life. He had to take leave from his job to try to function through the drunken hours, and was hoping the break would help him to quit drinking, but sadly it progressed. In January 2020, he was found barely breathing in his house from acute liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, and kidney failure. Two weeks prior he had noticed my eyes turned yellow as toxins had built up in his blood from his liver not functioning; Mike was rushed to the ER and was in a coma for almost 3 weeks. He woke up on January 27 to be told he did not qualify for a liver transplant and that he would have to be sober for 6 months to even make the list. Doctors said there was very little chance of survival even with a liver transplant. Mike was 268 lbs when he woke up, and had to learn how to walk and eat all over again. Within three months, Mikes liver miraculously healed and he was given a second chance at life. Mike shares his story with us, and the gratitude he feels to be able to do so.This episode of One For The Road is sponsored by https://tweaklife.co.uk/ Further information and links attached below.If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice and for Mike.https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRkjTPyn/https://www.instagram.com/jerzeymike/https://alcoholchange.org.uk/https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-Martinezhttps://www.grownuphustle.com/Instagram - @TheDaniellaMartinez@ GrownupHustleThis season's podcast is sponsored by a great new start up called Tweak Life.

Joining us on this weeks episode of One For The Road is Michael Sargood.Michael is the founder of the British alcohol-free news and events website SoberSocials.co.uk.At the depths of his alcohol addiction, he was drinking up to a litre of neat vodka per night and was diagnosed as being alcohol dependent.; despite this he managed to hold down a good job until the last few months of his addiction.He decided to quit alcohol in March 2020 and went to live with his parents for the first three months of his recovery. He was sober seven months before relapsing in October 2020. That "one" drink lasted four months and saw him placed under the care of the local mental health team. On 17 February 2021, after losing over 24 hours to blackout, he went sober again. That was the last time he drank. This time round, he is trying to recover differently. Instead of just "subtracting" substances, people and places, he is focussing on adding things to his life: new friends, interests, ambitions.This episode of One For The Road is sponsored by https://tweaklife.co.uk/ Further information and links attached below.If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice and for Michael.https://www.instagram.com/happywithoutthehooch/https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=happywithoutthehoochhttps://alcoholchange.org.uk/https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-Martinezhttps://www.grownuphustle.com/Instagram - @TheDaniellaMartinez@ GrownupHustleThis season's podcast is sponsored by a great new start up called Tweak Life.
