My Story

From Worthless to Limitless

Broken, alone, desperate, lost, hopeless and completely worthless. That’s how I felt when I was in the depths of my addiction. Drinking until I blacked out, vomiting in my sleep, going missing, fighting in the streets, being arrested and causing misery to myself and my family. The continuous feelings of shame, guilt and sheer horror at the person I’d become. Trying to look cool by drinking ridiculous amounts of alcohol, ravaging my body with other substances, staying out for days on end with no sleep, thinking I was impressing people by doing so.

In fact, I had moved so far away from myself that I didn’t know who I was. I never had a dream as a child to become an addict. I had become this character who was a million miles from my true self, and the pain of being so fake was hard to accept. My decision to get involved with substances led to countless other bad decisions and took me to the point of despair. 

“How the fuck did I end up here?” 

I knew if I didn’t make changes, I would continue to repeat the same cycles of worthlessness, desperation and loneliness.  Something had to give. I had to release all the bullshit in order to bring out the real me who had been trapped behind all these costumes and masks I was wearing.

I’ve gone from being that guy who had zero purpose, no confidence in himself, feeling like I was a failure and letting everyone down; to now using my story and my skills to help others, embodying confidence, knowing I’m making a difference, and making myself and my family proud. From being a terrified person who seized up at the thought of sitting alone with my own thoughts, to a guy who loves sitting in his own company - sober! Embracing the peace from the madness of modern living, and creating a positive inner dialogue with myself that generates positivity throughout my life.

My mindset is relentless, I don’t let fear hold me back and I face difficult challenges head on. I embrace the things I once felt were too difficult for me to achieve and go out and smash them. I have a huge sense of inner calm now where I once had chaos and turmoil inside. People always used to comment on how calm I was as a person - which was true on the outside. But it was a front I was putting on, as inside it was an utter catastrophe. Once I was able to take the first step towards making a change, the possibilities for other areas to change became limitless. Everything has to start with a step in the right direction and without taking that first step into coaching, none of the above would have been possible.

My initial goal was to get a hold of my addiction and to stop feeling worthless. Little did I know that I would not only achieve both of those things, but I would also get all these other incredible benefits to go along with it and completely transform my life.
