Can you really live a healthy life and still drink and take drugs?In this raw and eye-opening chat, former British soldier and ex-Ibiza DJ turned health and fitness coach Sean Willers shares how he went from a decade of chaos - fuelled by booze and recreational drugs-to finding clarity and purpose through fitness.We unpack how drink and drug culture is deeply ingrained in British nightlife, why “going sober” gets such a bad rep, and why so many people assume there’s something wrong with you if you don’t drink. Sean opens up about how even “occasional” drinking or drug use might be holding you back more than you think-and what it really takes to cut back or go sober for good.Whether you’re questioning your relationship with partying, or just curious about what life looks like without it, this one’s worth a listen.Follow Sean WillersPodcast: https://www.instagram.com/seanwillerspodcast/IG: https://www.instagram.com/willersfitness/YT: https://www.youtube.com/@willersfitnessFollow Adam for BTS and more Trying to Adult contentInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/adam_tryingtoadult/?hl=en-gbTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@Adam_tryingtoadultYoutube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Adam_tryingtoadult
