Ian Thurlbeck: Mr 365
Season 3, Episode 8, May 31, 2021, 10:52 AM
In this episode we chat to Ian Thurlbeck, someone that we've got to know really well over the last few months as he's been a bloomin' wonderful member of one of our bloomin' wonderful OTI Zoom groups!
We're Sharon, Freddie and Ben, three normal people who decided to give up alcohol to see how our lives would change. We're not medical experts but we are expert ex-drinkers, and our podcast brings people together who are on their own alcohol-free journeys by celebrating just how wonderful life without booze can be!
Ian is from the North East and is approaching 50 years old. He has been thinking about stopping drinking for years... And today we're delighted to chat to him as he hits his 365 days!!!
Ian talks about confidence and peer pressure when it comes to alcohol, and how one of the things that stopped him from stopping was tied up with his fears of what other people might think.
As you will hear from this chat, those fears are fading as Ian grows in to his new alcohol-free confidence. He is a hugely valued member of our community who not only uses it to help his own alcohol-free journey, he is also always giving back and helping new members learn the ropes.
He's a top man, and this is a top episode!
