The Rest Is Alcohol - The Rest Is...Sober Curiosity & Running A Business (With Ben Williams)

This week on The Rest Is Alcohol, Jacki and Lyle are joined by friend and former guest of The Rest Is PR - the brilliant Ben Williams. Ben is the Founder & Managing Director of Kiln, a digital transformation agency, and he has previously held positions at Apple, InMobi and Channel 4! Ben is also 5 years sober, having stepped away from alcohol around the same time as he founded Kiln. In an open and incredibly informative episode, Ben opens up about his struggles with alcohol in the past, including how problems with alcohol have sadly led to friends and family members passing away. He discusses how his decision to become sober after years of experiencing a problematic relationship with alcohol occurred at a crucial time in his life, where he had a choice of which direction to head in. Ben talks to Jacki and Lyle about how beneficial the choice he made at that time has been for his life since. He also implores people to have the conversation and decide what is best for themselves, emphasising that he stills goes to the pub with his friends, many of whom still drink. Lyle, Jacki and Ben finish the episode on the message that it is important not to judge people for their choices either way, and how important it is to be kind to one another when it comes to the very complex topic of alcohol.
