146. Do I have a Drinking Problem with Sam Church
Description
“I remember laying face down shirt ripped, phone gone, money gone and thinking if I lay here long enough il just die”
Totally relating to Sam’s story of his descent into alcoholism and the shame associated with it, I just HAD to get Sam Church on the A2A podcast to share his journey with me.
Sam is a Mental Health Advocate, Sales Professional and Co-Founder of MENtality.
Having lived the majority of his life with poor mental health and still having to work on this on a daily basis Sam knows first-hand what it’s like to feel the pain of poor Mental Health.
Battling addiction, not sleeping, poor nutrition and closing off from the world was a daily routine for over a decade. Essentially Sam could not see a way out and fundamentality didn’t know how.
Today Sam leads a different life. Overcoming this adversity and changing his life completely Sam now wants to give others the education that he didn’t have.
