Our guest today has a very powerful story, which started when she woke up in a cemetery on the morning after our London Palladium Show in 2023. Laura is a listener, who doesn't drink any more. She is a former pub manager, who now works as a peer mentor, helping others on their sobriety journey. This episode has some laugh out loud moments, and some more serious ones as well. Alcohol is an engrained aspect of our society, and this is not an episode telling people not to drink. But, it's healthy to assess our relationship with it from time to time and we're grateful to Laura for sharing her story with us.
