Jason was a 13-year-old kid on the Hatfield Mead estate in Morden when he washed his first car for £7 and used the money to buy another bucket and sponge. Within four weeks he had four mates washing cars while he made the sales. By forty-two he was an angel investor and twenty-six months sober, having quit drinking with his wife.
This is the recovery story of a self-made entrepreneur from a south London council estate who stopped drinking because he wanted his life back. Jason tells Sober Dave about being babysat by a Kray-era gangster, the depressive 3am thoughts that followed every drinking night, and the calculation that finally tipped the scales.
You'll hear about: how poverty mindset drives drinking; productivity and sobriety; the maths of seventy-five lost days; quitting drinking with your partner; and why escape is just a sign you have not built the life you actually want.
If you have ever wondered if drinking is holding your life back, this one's for you.
