Dave Wilson: From Solitude to Sobriety

<p><strong>We’re kicking off 2021 and Season 3 of Pivot Points, with Dave Wilson aka </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/?hl=en"><strong>@soberdave.</strong></a></p> <p><strong>In January 2019 Dave made the decision to go sober after 40 years of excessive drinking.</strong></p> <p><strong>He charted his new found sobriety on instagram, and quickly found himself part of the most incredible online support community.</strong></p> <p><strong>This conversation covers so much ground, from sobriety, the impact of alcoholism, cancer, love, abandonment, taking on someone else's children, to being a geezer in Wandsworth amongst all the 'yummy mummy's'!</strong></p> <p><strong>We learn:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>That connection is the opposite of addiction<br> </strong></li> <li><strong>Alcohol is like an abusive relationship<br> </strong></li> <li><strong>How to look at consequences. Wind it forward - past the first 30 mins of drinking onto what happens next<br> </strong></li> <li><strong>To look at alcohol like an allergy - you don’t just “get over it”.</strong></li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Find Dave on </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/?hl=en"><strong>Instagram </strong></a><strong>or via his </strong><a href="https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/"><strong>website&nbsp;</strong></a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>You can get hold of us here:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/pivotpointspodcast/?hl=en"><strong> @pivotpointspodcast<br> </strong></a></li> <li>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/pivot-points-podcast/?viewAsMember=true"><strong> </strong><u><strong>www.linkedin.com/company/pivot-points-podcast/<br> </strong></u></a></li> <li>Twitter:<a href="https://twitter.com/PivotPoints1"><strong> </strong><u><strong>@PivotPoints1<br> </strong></u></a></li> <li>Email: pivotpointspod@gmail.com<br> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Cast &amp; Crew</strong></p> <p>Gabi Miller:<a href="https://anchor.fm/pivot-points/episodes/www.gabriellamil
