  • 285. Navigating Celiac Disease, addiction and a new life with Ben Hampton
    Jan 25 2025

    In this conversation, Ben Hampton shares his journey of overcoming alcohol addiction and the impact of his celiac disease diagnosis. He reflects on his early relationship with alcohol, the culture of drinking in the music and hospitality industries, and the realisations that led him to quit drinking. Ben discusses the emotional growth he has experienced since becoming sober and how he navigates parenting while modeling healthy emotional responses for his children. We discuss the challenges and transformations that come with sobriety, particularly in the context of being a musician. They explore the societal pressures surrounding alcohol consumption, the influence of rock icons, and the journey of self-discovery that follows the decision to cut out alcohol. Ben shares his personal experiences with celiac disease and how eliminating gluten and alcohol has positively impacted his physical and mental health. The discussion also touches on the importance of vulnerability, redefining masculinity, and identifying true friendships that support personal growth.

I haven't drank in 47 days....

I spent my "Sunday Funday" bingeing the podcast instead of dancing drunk in the kitchen!

I enjoy the stories and appreciate how the people are her friends.

it's hard having sober friends these days!

How to navigate early sobriety

Dani is clearly a kind soul with a purpose - to help others get more from life and reach their full potential. I started listening to her and this podcast when I first had the inclination to give up drinking. This podcast shared tools and how to change your mindset and so much more to help anyone with giving up any unhealthy habits really but obviously the emphasis is on alcohol here. It has been instrumental for me and my journey with sobriety thus far. I could go on and on but to keep it brief - I definitely recommend!
