Laurie Haynes On Growing Up With Alcoholism, Trolling, And Therapy

Laurie Haynes had three father figures before he was ten years old. He left school at 14 with no GCSEs after setting the art corridor on fire. He spent most of his twenties partying, working hard, ordering a rope off Amazon one night, and walking away from a relationship with his own mum.Laurie is a NACOA ambassador, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate building a wellbeing platform called Shara. He grew up a child of alcoholism in Portsmouth, name-changed more than once, watching his mum cycle through partners while social services circled the family.This week on One for the Road, Laurie opens up about it all. The chaos at home. The teachers who quietly kept him in their offices because home was worse. The press story that broke him at his lowest. The therapy that rebuilt him. The decision to cut his parents out so he could break the cycle for his own kids.A raw conversation about what childhood does to a man, and what it takes to refuse to pass it on.If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezhttps://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/  Hosted on Acast.
