In this gripping episode, Jacky and Pete sit down with Alastair Stewart, who shares his tumultuous journey through the highs and lows of addiction and his eventual path to recovery. Alastair recounts his early struggles with ADHD and how his relentless pursuit of a high-flying lifestyle led him to heavy drug use and managing a nightclub, which only amplified his destructive habits.
Alastair opens up about the stark realities he faced—from near-fatal injuries to the dark solitude of using substances alone during lockdown. His turning point came when he realised he had lost the status and life he had fought so hard to maintain, leading him to seek help and ultimately achieving over two years of sobriety.
Today, Alastair is not only maintaining his sobriety but also helping others on their journeys. He co-founded Clear Minds, a hypnotherapy and meditation app/resource that has aided thousands in overcoming their struggles through the tools that helped him transform his life. His story is a powerful reminder of how embracing a new identity can radically reshape one's future, proving that change is possible, no matter the past.
