Quit Drinking After 25 Years: Trevor Toohig, Ex Bar Owner

Trevor Toohig was the bar owner pulling his own pints. Ten a day. Sometimes more, with spirits on top.He started at 13. Diamond White and Thunderbirds in the park. Stella in his bedroom by 16. By his late twenties, nine pints in a Sutton pub ended with his bright green Nissan in the Carshalton Ponds and a drink driving charge that almost ended his teaching career.Marriage. Divorce. A second chance. Then a bar in Folkestone where it all kicked off again. The turning point came at a Beyoncé concert, getting thrown out drunk in front of his wife.Now in recovery, diagnosed with ADHD, and running Liquid Choices, a campaign pushing UK pubs to offer real alcohol-free options, Trevor talks to Dave about the long climb back, slip-ups included, and what 25 years of drinking actually costs.www.liquidchoices.com or follow liquid_choice on InstagramFor Don't Look Back Hungover and other books:www.trevortwohig.comIf 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/This show is in Partnership with disordered eating Coach Helen Bennett.email: [email protected]: https://www.helenbennett.co/TikTok, Facebook, YouTube & Instagram:  @coachhelenbennett Hosted on Acast.
