For years, Kev’s life revolved around drinking, DJing and nightlife. Behind the parties and packed clubs, his relationship with alcohol was becoming harder to control, and the anxiety, shame and mental health struggles that followed were getting harder to ignore.
In this episode of One for the Road, Kev shares how drinking became wrapped up in his identity, why he repeatedly questioned whether he had a problem with alcohol, and what happened when he tried to moderate or take breaks from drinking.
He opens up about the night he broke down crying in the bath and realized, “I can’t keep living like this,” his repeated attempts at sobriety, and the frightening moment in Lisbon that became another wake-up call.
Kev eventually realized he didn’t have an off switch. He shares what finally helped him quit drinking, why this attempt at sobriety was different, and how life without alcohol has changed his mental health, relationships, confidence and sense of self.
