Episode description

In this week’s episode I’m chatting with AOD support worker and sober human Ian Burchall.

Ian made the decision to get clean and sober on the 15th of December 2016 after his dependence on substances took him to his darkest hour. In recovery, Ian found what he’d been searching for all along, a spiritual solution and a deeper connection to self.

From living a life driven by fear to finding himself on a continual path of growth, Ian’s story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.

We covered a number of topics including:

  • Shifting your perspective – 7:00
  • Being in collision with your values – 21:05
  • Switching the witch for the bitch – 28:00
  • Calling off an engagement – 39:39
  • Seeking spirituality – 49:51
  • Clearing up the wreckage 58:36

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics including suicide, which may be distressing to some listeners.

If you or someone you know if struggling with mental health or addiction, please reach out for support. Some support options include:

• A healthcare professional

• Alcoholics Anonymous

• Lifeline or Beyond Blue (Australia)

• CheckPoint (global)
