    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 Ep66: Shaun Weiss: The Mighty Duck Jul 04, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we link up with Hollywood as actor Shaun Weiss joins us from Los Angeles!
    Shaun rose to fame in the 90s as a child actor when he had a starring role in The Mighty Ducks movies as Greg Goldberg, the team's tough but loveable goalkeeper. He'd acted before this but it was these movies that cemented his love for the profession, and he made friends for life who still play a big part in his story to this day.
    Shaun's addictions started in his early 30s after his mother died, something that absolutely devastated him. He talks to us about the day he knew that he was in for a long journey as he walked to the liquor store and heard that little voice in the back of his head - the accessibility of alcohol meant that this was the first thing he turned to, but it soon led to an addiction to other substances too.
    Shaun hit rock bottom, and was sitting in a jail cell when one of the deputies came in with a picture of him on his phone as one of the Mighty Ducks - and a few days later Shaun was all over the news. What happened next was extraordinary - an army of fans from 30 years ago sent Shaun their love and their support, and made him realise that there were people out there who wanted to see him do well.
    This moment was the start of Shaun's stunning recovery, and today he is thriving. We'd like to thank Shaun for spending an hour with us and being so honest about some extremely difficult times in his life - and as you'll hear, we're hoping to see him in a bell tent at the bottom of Snowdon soon!

    S3 Ep65: Charlie & Joey (Young & Sober): AF Holidays Jun 27, 2022
    Show notes On the last Monday of every month, Over The Influence is being taken over by Joey Duckworth and Charlie Martina, two people in their 20s who've decided to ditch booze and live life alcohol-free.
    In this episode, Charlie is dialling in from Spain as she's been away for a couple of weeks - and, of course, she's done it all alcohol-free!
    She talks about her experience in Morocco, where it's very rare to see people drinking alcohol - and how that made her reflect on our culture.
    Charlie and Joey also give some great tips for those who are AF but have a holiday coming up that they may be worried about - and of course, as always, its full of inspiration for people who are young and sober.
    Safe travels home Charlie!

    S3 Ep64: OTI Adventures: The Yorkshire Three Peaks Special Jun 20, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to FOUR of our OTI Community members who took part in our Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge: Danny, Kerry, Neil and Sara!
    This challenge was the start of many more events to come from OTI, and it was a magical day of friendship, conversation and connection. Members came from all over the world to take part, with one member even travelling from BRISBANE to Yorkshire to meet up with her fellow OTI Community members for a 25 mile hike through the Yorkshire Dales.
    When you give up alcohol, your world gets bigger - and you do things you'd never expect that you'd either want or be able to do! The Yorkshire Three Peaks isn't a walk in the park, but every member completed it with a smile on their faces - we absolutely got each other through in the same supportive way we approach going alcohol free every day as part of the online community.
    If you think that connection is the missing piece of the puzzle for you, then we'd love for you to join us! You can find the info below, and yes, as the Y3P was so successful we're already planning our next real-life meet up event!
    Thank you to Danny, Kerry, Neil and Sara for coming on to the podcast to share their experiences of the day - and for being fabulous members of our community. We built the platform, but our members built the environment - it really is one of the happiest corners of the internet!

    S3 Ep63: Ian Thurlbeck: Two Years AF Jun 13, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we catch up with Ian Thurlbeck, an OTI Community member who's now over two years alcohol free!
    The last time Ian was on the podcast he talked about his first year of sobriety, as we spoke to him on the day of his 365 days milestone - in this conversation we talk about how things continued to change for him since, and how his second year of sobriety has given him so much more than he ever could have expected.
    For the vast majority of us, the first year AF is spent focussed on not drinking - it's ticking off the first wedding, the first birthday, the first sober Christmas - and that's absolutely the right thing to do. However, if you carry on past the year mark, that's when the really exciting stuff can start to happen... When the rewards for your efforts really start to come in.
    Ian talks about the rewards he's found in his second year of sobriety, and very honestly reflects back on how far he has come. Ian is an incredible role model for men, because he isn't afraid to be vulnerable - he's modest, he's kind and he's inspirational.
    If you're inspired by Ian's story, then we're sure he'd love to meet you! We're very lucky that Ian hosts regular Zoom calls for us in our OTI Community, and you can find all of the details below if you think connection could be the missing piece of the puzzle for you.

    S3 Ep62: Andy Garwood: Breaking The Habit Jun 06, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to Andy Garwood, who's over 4 years alcohol free and someone who Shazza has known since the very start of her own AF journey!
    Andy was a daily drinker and gave up alcohol because he had some very strong reasons why - he wanted to be the best man he could be for his young children. One day he was showing them how to do burpees when he snapped his ankle - he was overweight, and knew that things needed to change.
    Andy's social circle were all drinkers, and he had some challenging moments in the early days of his sobriety - but he knew that he wanted to give alcohol free like a go so stuck to his guns. Interestingly, he talks to us about how the change he has made has impacted on some of his friends - he's no longer the only one who's changing the way he drinks.
    Andy has achieved some incredible things since going alcohol free, from taking part in ultra marathons to climbing Kilimanjaro. Not only that, but his ultra marathons inspired two very important people in his life to give their own physical challenges a go - his two children.

    S3 Ep61: Charlie & Joey (Young & Sober): Triggers and Tools May 30, 2022
    Show notes On the last Monday of every month, Over The Influence is being taken over by Joey Duckworth and Charlie Martina, two people in their 20s who've decided to ditch booze and live life alcohol-free.
    In this episode, Charlie and Joey talk about the triggers that could catch young people off guard when they decide to go sober, and some of the tools that have helped them in their sobriety.
    When you're young, and especially in an environment like university where you're constantly surrounded by other people, your social circle is hugely important - and it can be harder to keep yourself to yourself. There are always nights out, drinks planned with your course mates, drinks planned with your society friends... It can feel like your sobriety is constantly being tested.
    In this episode Charlie and Joey talk about things like breathing, taking yourself off for a quiet few minutes, and even a sober pre-drinks routine that Charlie does which she finds really helpful when it comes to getting herself ready for a big night out.

    S3 Ep60: Jane Mackenzie: The Mother May 23, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to Jane Mackenzie, a mother who lost her daughter Amy to alcohol.
    Amy struggled with alcohol dependence for her whole adult life, and watching her going slowly downhill - and being powerless to stop the progression of this dreadful disease - was a very painful experience for Jane, their family and Amy's friends.
    Jane talks to us about Share Shrewsbury, the charity she has set up to support people affected by alcohol in her local community. Tragically, Amy died just as the charity was in its very early days, and Jane talks to us about how she found the strength to carry on with this hugely important work whilst grieving for her daughter.
    She also talks to us about the virtual conference she recently put on, called Alcohol: Sharing The Truth. Jane has been working tirelessly to bring together some of the world's leading experts on alcohol research and the treatment of alcohol dependence to highlight just how dangerous alcohol can be and also how drastically underfunded this area is.
    If you would like to watch any of the talks back, we'd urge you to email Jane to request the link - email shareshrewsbury@gmail.com
    Jane spoke to us on the eve of the conference, and we'd like to thank her so much for giving us an hour of her valuable time. Jane is an incredible woman, and we are proud to be able to use our platform to help her spread her message.

    S3 Ep58: Rosie: Alcohol, Drugs & Eating Disorders May 09, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to Rosie, a wonderful young woman from the UK who now lives in New Zealand happily drug and alcohol free!
    We're Sharon and Ben, two normal people who decided to give up alcohol to see how our lives would change. We're not medical experts but we are expert ex-drinkers, and our podcast brings people together who are on their own alcohol-free journeys by celebrating just how wonderful life without booze can be!
    Rosie got in touch with us because she's listened to the podcast for a long time and wanted to talk about something we haven't talked about much before - the link between alcohol and eating disorders.
    Rosie would under-eat and over-exercise in the week to essentially save up calories for her alcohol intake at weekends, and to maintain the "party girl" figure she thought she needed to have to fit in. Rosie talks to us about the pressure she felt to look a certain way, and the detrimental affects that this had on both her mental and physical health.
    Rosie is also an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous, and talks to us about her experiences of attending meetings and being an active part of the AA community which has been overwhelmingly positive. As a Buddhist, she talks to us about how Buddhism and AA have overlapping principles and how both now provide her with the connection she needs to remain drug and alcohol free.
    We are so glad that Rosie got in touch with us, and we're so grateful for her honesty. If you'd like to follow Rosie on social media, search for "Sober Not Boring" on Instagram.

    S3 Ep57: Niamh O'Sheehan: Walking Your Way Sober May 02, 2022
    Show notes In this episode we chat to Niamh O'Sheehan who says she walked her way sober!
    We're Sharon and Ben, two normal people who decided to give up alcohol to see how our lives would change. We're not medical experts but we are expert ex-drinkers, and our podcast brings people together who are on their own alcohol-free journeys by celebrating just how wonderful life without booze can be!
    Niamh gave up alcohol over 3 years ago, but it wasn't plain sailing... Especially at the beginning. She didn't actually make it past the second day AF, after going to a restaurant and being offered a free bottle of wine with dinner. However, she decided to commit to going alcohol-free for a month whilst committing to walking every day too, and slowly things started to change.
    As the alcohol left her system, Niamh stopped talking to herself negatively and started to gain confidence in herself. If she could do 28 days without alcohol... Could she do 90? Could she even do a full calendar year alcohol free?
    As well as giving us some fabulous insights and tips for AF newbies, Niamh also talks to us about her business Walk Your Way Well, about some of the walks she's done, but also in general about how walking can benefit both your physical and mental health. It's simple and it's free, but it can have such a huge affect on your wellbeing that Niamh wants everyone to get their trainers on and regularly get outside!
    If you'd like to follow Niamh on social media, search for "Walk Your Way Well" on Facebook and Instagram.

    S3 Ep55: Charlie & Joey (Young & Sober): Alcohol and Mental Health Apr 25, 2022
    Show notes On the last Monday of every month, Over The Influence is being taken over by Joey Duckworth and Charlie Martina, two people in their 20s who've decided to ditch booze and live life alcohol-free.
    In this episode, Charlie and Joey talk about alcohol and its affect on mental health. This is an area that they're both incredibly passionate about, and one that they believe isn't discussed enough in society. The episode starts with some research that Charlie has done in to the topic, talking about the link between mental health issues like anxiety and depression and alcohol.
    They both also share incredibly personal experiences about their own mental health struggles, and please be warned that this episode does contain a discussion about suicidal thoughts - so if you'd prefer to skip this one we completely understand, the most important thing is that you look after yourself.
