On the surface of it, Paul Sculfor was living the dream. He fell into modelling (his Mum signed him up to a competition without him knowing) and soon became Britain’s first supermodel when he was still in his early 20s. He travelled the world, earnt a huge income and was seemingly ‘living the dream’. But underneath it all, Paul’s partying was covering up some deep rooted trauma. As you will hear, Paul’s childhood was far from straightforward. Although he only discovered drinks and drugs relatively late, they would immediately fill the gaps in his personality that he felt he was lacking.Paul didn’t know he had a problem - until it was almost too late.After another drugs and booze fuelled night out, Paul had a panic attack whilst driving and would soon end up in rehab.Although it wasn’t a straightforward path from there - he has now been sober for over 20 years and has used his experience to try and help others. His wonderful Stride Foundation has been helped people get the professional help they need for a decade.Today, he splits his time working with the Foundation, modelling, podcasting, acting and TV presenting - not to mention being a husband and father of two.We cannot thank Paul enough for his honesty and wisdom during this conversation.Show NotesPaul's Website: http://www.paulsculfor.com/Stride Foundation Website: https://stridefoundation.com/Paul's Instagram: @paulsculfor'This is Powerful with Paul Scolfor' Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4nLXwFf6c2D2iRExDigfmj?si=31c9ec427c1c4244Vic's book is out!

In today's retrospective episode, Hame looks back over the trip that he was dreading the most in his sobriety. A long awaited return home to his old haunts and drinking friends and no less than 3 weddings and dancefloors.

This was the day that Hamish took Vic to the Cricket. Vic doesn't like cricket - as you can tell, but she went along with Hamish and followed through with all the ridiculous traditions - which (unfortunately for her) included dressing up as a frog.But, these two rebellious little green amphibians did break one major cricketing tradition that day - They did not drink. Not a Pimms and Lemonade in sight! Did the world stop and point accusatory fingers? No - in fact it was very liberating!So, is it ok to break traditions? Even if it offends your host?And, are some of the drinking traditions just peer pressure from dead people? Is it possible that we just go along with them because we always have?Yes, you've guessed it. Today is all about custom. Vic and Hamish take a look into some drinking traditions all over the world and some that happen on their doorstep. Everything from kidnapping brides in Germany to rugby games in Australia and St Patricks day in Ireland. How have these events become so synonymous with drinking and why do we feel the need to partake in the celebrations?When something is a tradition it seems so much harder for a sober person to say no - so today's episode is here to set you up and make you feel strong when faced with a long ingrained drinking custom.It's time to change the course of traditions and stop them in their rather wobbly tracks!Ribbit!#alcoholfree #sober #soberlife #sobercurious #sobriety #soberliving #cricket #recovery #sobermovement #alcoholfreelife #soberlifestyle #recoveryispossible #soberawkward #nonalcoholic #hangoverfree #addiction #sobrietyrocks #sobercommunity #wedorecover #addictionrecovery #sobermom #boozefree #mentalhealth #dryjanuary #onedayatatime #soberwomen #alcoholicsanonymous #noalcohol #cleanandsober #alcoholShow NotesVic's book is out!

Like many people around the world we were hugely shocked and saddened by the recent news of the 6 tourists who lost their lives to suspected methanol poisoning in Laos. As sensitive and raw as this seems, we felt compelled to use our platform to try and educate and warn others about the risks of methanol and how best to avoid it. This episode is a tribute to all of the friends and family who are grieving at the moment. We sincerely hope that their lives were not given in vain and that they become the catalyst for change so that nobody else needs to lose their life in this way again.We are sorry we even had to record this episode, but we hope you agree that its as important as any we have ever had to record.Show NotesVic's book is out!
