I Thought I Was Only Hurting Myself featuring Arron Crascall

I went into this episode with no script and no plan. Just an old mate, a lot of history, and the truth we both spent years running from.

We talk about the lie I told myself for a long time. That my drinking was only hurting me. That as long as I paid the bills and showed up sometimes, it didn’t really count. It did count. It cost me moments I’ll never get back, trust I had to earn again, and years of being half-present in my own life.

This conversation goes places I didn’t expect. Fatherhood. Shame. Addiction. Resentment. Sobriety. Faith. The voice in your head that tells you you’re fine, right up until you’re not.

If you’re drinking and telling yourself it’s under control, this might be uncomfortable. If you’re sober and still dealing with the fallout, you’ll probably recognise a lot of this. And if you’re struggling right now, I want you to know you’re not broken and you’re not alone.

This isn’t a polished episode. It’s an honest one.
