DJ FAT TONY - RECOVERY TO DISCOVERY

Sober Sips - Your Weekly Quick FixSeries 1 Episode 1 Our first guest is the legendary DJ Fat Tony. In the late 80’s he was the toast of the London Club Scene. Having DJ’d for big names from Prince, Madonna and Michael Jackson, at the peak of his career he nearly lost it all with his descent into drug and alcohol addiction.. After 28 years of abusing alcohol and drugs and 6 months in rehab he embarked on a life of sobriety. Experiencing somewhat of a re-birth and with his passion for music, he became once again notorious on the global music scene. Throughout this series of Sober Sips we are staying spirited with Lyre’s. They have an amazing range of 13 crafted non-alcoholic spirits so you can make all of your favourite cocktails but alcohol free and it really does give you the freedom to drink your drink your way.  Lyre’s exquisite range was borne from a quest to make the impossible possible. As well as being alcohol free it is also Vegan, gluten free, dairy free as well as low in calories.We discuss;Beginning days of his drinkingEarly days of sobrietySober socialisingStruggles of sobrietyMental health How Tony is coping with isolationHelpful Links;Lyre's - https://lyres.co.ukDiscount code: THIRSTY20Sober & Social - https://soberandsocial.com@sober_and_socialhttps://www.instagram.com/sober_and_social/DJ Fat Tony - @dj_fattony_https://www.instagram.com/dj_fattony_/?hl=enAlcohol Anonymous - UKhttps://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org.ukAlcohol Anonymous - Globalhttps://www.aa.org/pages/en_US/aa-around-the-world
