Rich Evans spent 25 years in the fashion industry. He was a stylist, then fashion editor, then fashion director of FHM. He worked at Nuts and Front. He sat at desks where girls in bikinis dropped off crates of Carling and the editor's rule was that the work didn't start until everyone had a three-pint buzz. He loved every minute of it.
And then, around 35, the same routine that built his career started to feel like a computer game he'd finished. The hangovers were turning into come-downs. He was at his son's football match wrecked from a Friday he couldn't remember the point of. The lads he was drinking with kept getting younger.
In this conversation with Sober Dave, Rich talks about why his sobriety story doesn't have a movie rock bottom, what grieving the drinking version of yourself actually feels like, how anxiety hid underneath the loud shirts for thirty years, and why \"I don't drink\" is the most powerful sentence he's ever heard a colleague say.
