Alasdair Gill: How My Late Dad Saved Me From Addiction

This week on the pod, Alex and Em are joined by chef and writer Alasdair (Ali) Gill. Ali and Em - whose parents were close friends - have been mates for years. Ali’s late father is the renowned journalist, author and critic A. A. Gill. Like his father, Ali has suffered with addiction, which led him on a journey to rehab; it was there, during his recovery, that he sought comfort in his father’s memoir, which details his own struggles with alcohol. Though this moment came after his father’s death, Ali felt seen, and finally understood that he wasn’t alone.You can follow Ali on Instagram @aligill421 and check out his catering business @gordonandgillFollow us on Instagram @shouldideletethatEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
