In this Christmas special of One For The Road, I’m joined by William Porter, author of Alcohol Explained, for an honest, grounded conversation about navigating the festive season without losing yourself to drinking. We talk about staying sober when the pressure is high, family dynamics are charged, and routines are out the window. And importantly, we also explore how to navigate Christmas if you’re not quite ready to stop drinking yet, but want to avoid going too far, waking up with regret, or falling back into old patterns.</p><p>This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness, choice, and self-respect during a season that can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or just questioning your relationship with alcohol, this one’s for you.</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/alcoholexplained/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;William Porter (@alcoholexplained) • Instagram photos and videos instagram.com&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</a></p><p><br></p><p>If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/</a></p><p>or via my website&nbsp;<a href=\"https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/</a></p><p>Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.</p><p><a href=\"https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services</a></p><p><a href=\"https://nacoa.org.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://nacoa.org.uk/</a></p><p>Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-Martinez</p><p>Instagram - @TheDaniellaMartinez</p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/</a></p><p><a href=\"http://www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.instagram.com/grownuphustle</a></p>","author_name":"David Wilson"}
