    Over The Influence: The Alcohol Free Podcast

    Welcome to Over the Influence, the podcast where sobriety isn’t just a choice – it’s a celebration! Hosted by Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson, both BBC professionals by day and passionate advocates for alcohol-free living by night, this is your go-to space for real, raw, and uplifting stories of what life looks like on the other side of alcohol.

    Each episode shines a light on inspiring, often hard-hitting journeys to sobriety. From personal struggles to incredible triumphs, we bring you heartfelt conversations with guests from all walks of life – whether they’re celebrities, experts, or everyday heroes. Their stories might trigger deep emotions, but they’ll also inspire hope, empowerment, and a renewed sense of what the human spirit can overcome.

    Whether you’re sober curious, walking your own path to sobriety, or simply looking for some inspiration, you’re in the right place. Let’s talk openly about the highs, the lows, and everything in between – and most importantly, let’s celebrate the joys of a vibrant, alcohol-free life together.

    Disclaimer: The views expressed in this podcast are those of the participants and not necessarily those of Over The Influence (OTI) Ltd. The information shared is for general purposes only and should not be taken as professional advice. If you are physically addicted to alcohol – or even think you might be – it’s essential you seek qualified medical advice from your doctor or other medical professional. Stopping drinking suddenly can be very dangerous and in some cases fatal. You can find links to support services on our website here.

    S3 Ep96: Dry January with Thomas Hartley (MAFS UK): Starting Out Jan 16, 2023
    Show notes In this episode we catch up with Thomas Hartley, one of the stars of last year's Married at First Sight UK!
    We spotted a social media post from Thomas on the 1st January this year and we had to slide in to his DMs... He posted a picture of his sober app, showing that it was his first day.
    Thomas talks to us about how he has had periods of sobriety since the TV show finished last year, and why he's now starting out again in January with the intention of not drinking again.
    Thomas is a mental health nurse by trade, and talks about how being on TV and being catapulted to fame lead to an increase in his drinking. He's also very honest about how it felt to watch himself back on TV, which has lead to him wanting to make a more lasting change with sobriety - he knows how he wants to represent himself and move forwards with his life and career, and he doesn't want alcohol to hold him back.
    If you enjoy listening to Thomas as much as we enjoyed chatting to him, and you want to follow him on Instagram or TikTok, he's @thomashartleyofficial!

    S3 Ep95: Dry January with William Porter: Alcohol Explained Jan 09, 2023
    Show notes In this episode we catch up with friend of the podcast William Porter, the author of Alcohol Explained!
    William talks us through what happens to your body and brain when you decide to remove alcohol... And the reasons why it doesn't feel very good at first. He talks us through the science (both physiological and psychological) to give us an understanding of why we feel rubbish at first, but then also talks to us about how you start to feel better - and why.
    If you're doing Dry January and feeling like you might want to pack it in... This episode is absolutely for you! If you've already started on your sobriety adventure, this chat is a great reminder about the important reasons for staying on track.
    If you'd like to find out more about William and his book, go to alcoholexplained.com!

    S3 Ep94: Dry January with Michael Brown: The TikTok Superstar Jan 02, 2023
    Show notes In this episode we catch up with Michael Brown, aka Misha, aka Don't Cross a Gay Man (@dontcrossagayman) on TikTok, two years after we first spoke to him on the podcast!
    Michael is over four years sober after deciding to remove alcohol from his life on Christmas Eve 2018 - and he credits all of his success over the last few years back to this moment.
    When we first spoke to Michael he had a few thousand followers on social media... Now he has a few million after deciding that he didn't want to settle for good enough anymore and that instead he should pursue his dreams.
    Of course, a lot of hard work has gone in to growing his online presence but Michael knows that he wouldn't be doing it if he'd still been drinking alcohol - and now new opportunities are presented to him nearly every day.
    If you're doing Dry January, then this episode might just convince you to see if you can go for a bit longer... Who knows how your life could change if you just take it one day at a time?!

    S3 Ep92: Davina: Freedom from Moderation Dec 26, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to the fabulous Davina, one of our very own OTI Community members!
    When Davina joined Over The Influence she was a moderator... But on one of our community Zoom calls, Ben convinced her to give 100 days completely alcohol-free a go and since then she's never looked back! Davina is now well over a year AF, and talks to us about how it's completely changed her life.
    She talks about her journey to becoming alcohol-free, and how she realised that things had started to change for her as she got older - whenever she'd done breaks from booze in her 20s it had been relatively easy, but in her 30s she started to find it more difficult. This set off the warning bells, but it still took her nearly a decade to go fully AF - something that lots of our listeners and community members can relate to.
    Davina has taken the approach that its her decision if she ever wants to have a drink again - but so far, nothing has come along that can convince her to - not holidays, not events, not even celebrating her 50th birthday!
    She is a huge inspiration, and a brilliant example that when you give up one thing, you gain so much more. Davina, thank you for your openness and your honesty - you said on email to us privately that even if it helps one person, you'll be happy - and we're sure it will help a lot more people than that!

    S3 Ep91: James Moon: Fancy A Walk Mate? Dec 19, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to James Moon from #FancyAWalkMate about his journey to sobriety.
    James talks to us about how he grew up in an environment where alcohol was normalised, and how this impacted him as he got older. For James, drinking alcohol led on to taking drugs socially and then more regularly - until he decided that enough was enough and he went to his first AA meeting. This then made him aware of CA (Cocaine Anonymous) too, and following the twelve step programme has helped him to become alcohol and drug free for over two years.
    James is hugely passionate about helping other men to remove alcohol and drugs from their life so that they can embrace who they really are - and he's created a group called #FancyAWalkMate which gets men outside in to nature as a way of healing through connection.
    This isn't a group that's solely focussed on removing alcohol or drugs, though - James and his #FancyAWalkMate partner Dan want to help men who are struggling with anything at all by encouraging them to join them outside and chat through their problems.
    If you're interested in finding out more, search for Fancy A Walk Mate on Facebook - or connect with James directly through his Instagram page, @luna_mountains

    S3 Ep90: Molly Desch: Determined AF Dec 12, 2022
    Show notes Trigger warning: this episode contains discussions about attempted suicide and abortion. We fully understand if this week's episode isn't for you - and if you're affected by anything you hear, please see the support links below.

    In this episode we chat to Molly Desch who tells us her story about going completely alcohol-free - which, like it is for many of us, was a long journey.
    Molly talks to us about how things became so unbearable that at one point she drove in to the middle of nowhere with the intention of ending her life: and it was only a phone call from her son at the right time that kept her alive.
    Molly is brave, she's honest and she's thriving: she's now completely alcohol-free and has never been happier. She tells us about how she's found her purpose by coaching women to help them remove alcohol from their life, and if you'd like to find out more about what she does, go to asyouarelifecoaching.com

    S3 Ep89: The AF Christmas Q&A Dec 05, 2022
    Show notes This is the AF Christmas Q&A where Shaz and Ben answer your questions about how to thrive during December without the booze! This will be Shazza's fifth AF Christmas and Ben's fourth - both were nervous about their first one, but quickly realised that being alcohol-free at Christmas is a gift in itself!
    This is a slightly different format to our normal podcast, as we never intended to publish it on the main podcast channel... The original plan was that this episode would be exclusive for our community members and subscribers.
    However, the questions we got sent were so good - and the voice notes from our community members at the end of the episode were so fabulous - that we thought that everyone should hear it.
    Yes, a sober Christmas is a different experience... And absolutely wonderful for so many different reasons!
    If you're in the early days of your AF adventure and a bit nervous about the festive period, just stick with it - it will surprise you, it will delight you, and if you can stay AF it will give you such a huge confidence boost as you embark on the next steps of your journey.

    S3 Ep88: Janet White: The Grandmother Nov 28, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to the lovely Janet White in Florida who decided to give up alcohol when she became a grandmother.
    In this episode she talks to us about how removing alcohol from her life when she was in her 50s completely transformed it, and how its meant that she is now present and active for her growing family.
    She also talks very honestly about her difficult past, and how she used alcohol to cope thinking that it was offering her an escape - despite being a nurse and understanding that alcohol is a depressant.
    Janet is open, she's warm, and she's very very funny! If you'd like to find out more about Janet or buy her book, search for Bliss Beyond The Buzz.

    S3 Ep87: Ryan Dusick: The Maroon 5 Drummer Nov 20, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to the fabulous Ryan Dusick, one of the founding members of Maroon 5.
    Ryan talks to us about how the band went from being friends playing in a garage to Grammy Award winners who headlined stadiums across the world - and how alcohol insidiously crept up on him when injury meant that he couldn't perform.
    He talks to us about how he didn't talk about his issues with alcohol, and instead tried to laugh it off, or hide it - until it got to a point that he had to face his addiction head on after leaving the band in 2006 and struggling with alcohol for the next decade.
    Ryan is now a trained therapist and has just released his first book. It's called Harder To Breathe and it tells the story of the band's incredible rise - and his devastating fall - before finding recovery.
    We'd like to thank Ryan for his time, and for being so honest about his history with alcohol. His story shows that alcohol doesn't discriminate - it doesn't matter if you have it all, or nothing at all - it can creep up on anyone and take its hold.
