S9 Ep116: Simon Thomas - How His Alcohol Dependency & Struggles Almost Led To Him Taking His Own Life + Archie Calls Out Bill Sweeney!
Today we're joined by one of our greatest friends of the show in Sky Sports & Amazon Prime Broadcaster Simon Thomas for somewhat of a 'Dry January' special. Simon has recently passed his 1 year anniversary of being sober and in this deeply personal interview he takes us through the horrendous struggles and relationship he's had with alcohol over the years. After suddenly losing his wife, his life was flipped upside down and like so many in desperate situations, he took refuge in the bottle and this sparked a sudden downfall which almost led to his death on multiple occasions. He opens up about his inspiring journey over the last couple of years and gives advice to those who maybe struggling from similar issues. We also discuss the premature arrival of his daughter and the terrifying events surrounding that. However it's not all seriousness as Archie manages to inject a ridiculous amount of stupidity and laughter into the podcast as always. -------- BUY YOUR TICKETS FOR OUR LIVE PODCAST WITH SIMON SHAW ON 9th FEB https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/live-rig-biz-pod-networking-with-england-legend-simon-shaw-tickets-516148412797 DOWNLOAD ATHLO NOW! https://athlo.app/ The way you train and use your gym membership is about to change thanks to Athlo.
