    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 Ep5: Jonny Stevens: Better Without May 10, 2021
    Show notes In this episode we chat to Jonny Stevens who's created an app called Better Without!
    We're Sharon, Freddie and Ben, three 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!
    Better Without is available to download in the UK, the USA and Australia.

    S3 Ep4: Delroy Taylor: Six Months On May 03, 2021
    Show notes In this episode we chat to Delroy Taylor, aka Bunny Pacer, aka... The Winner!
    We're Sharon, Freddie and Ben, three 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!
    Del is our first returning guest, as he first appeared on Over The Influence six months ago when he was three months in to his AF journey - if you haven't heard his episode from Series 2 yet, please go back and give it a listen.
    He talks to us about how appearing on Over The Influence changed his life, and how the last six months have been. Of course, giving up alcohol doesn't mean that life becomes perfect - but it does give you the clarity and strength to deal with life's problems more effectively.

    In that time, she's been on an incredible journey - and in this episode talks to us about how her sobriety and her transgender journey have been interlinked.

    S3 Ep2: Andrew & Jonny Dickin: My Basketful of Happiness Apr 19, 2021
    Show notes In this episode, we chat to father and son Andrew and Jonny Dickin who wrote a book during lockdown called My Basketful of Happiness.
    We're Sharon, Freddie and Ben, three 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!
    Andrew had been drinking for years, and could almost go around the shops blindfolded to fill up his basket of happiness... Wine, beer, chocolate, crisps, sweets... But as he tells us in this podcast, one day everything changed for him when he decided to go alcohol-free.
    We love this chat because it's the first time we've heard someone tell their story, but also we get to hear the perspective of their son - because as we know, sometimes alcohol doesn't just affect you but the people around you too.

    S3 Ep1: We're Back In Business! Apr 12, 2021
    Show notes Welcome to Over The Influence, Series 3!
    We're Sharon, Freddie and Ben, three 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!
    Today, the UK moves to the next step of the Government's plan to move out of lockdown... Which, of course, is absolutely fabulous news! We know a lot of people are returning back to work from furlough today, and we're delighted that the hospitality industry can return to some sort of normal.
    However, the next few weeks of getting back to normal may be tricky for some people - especially for those who decided to give up alcohol during the pandemic and haven't yet had to face "normal life" without a drink in their hand.
    If you're on an alcohol free or low alcohol journey - or thinking about starting one - this podcast is for you! Whether you're going completely alcohol free like Sharon or Freddie, or if you're just sober curious... Whether you want to stop drinking for now or quit drinking for good.... Know you're not going it alone!

    S3: Special Episode: Dry January in Lockdown 3 Jan 09, 2021
    Show notes So we weren't planning on coming back until the Spring... But after it was announced that the UK was going in to its third national lockdown, social media went mad with people dropping Dry January...
    And we thought we should release a special episode of Over The Influence to help you strengthen your resolve if you've decided to carry on going!
    If you're on an alcohol free or low alcohol journey - or thinking about starting one - this podcast is for you. Whether you're going completely alcohol free like Sharon or Freddie, or if you're just sober curious... Know you're not going it alone!

    S2 Ep10: The Series 2 Round Up: Experts, Extraordinary Stories & Spring Chickens Nov 26, 2020
    Show notes In the final episode of Series 2 Shaz, Freddie and producer Background Ben reflect on what they've learned from the guests this series.
    In every episode in Series 2, BBC broadcast journalist Sharon Hartley and Guinness World Record holder Freddie Bennett invite a different guest on to the podcast who have in some way inspired their own alcohol free journeys, from AF authors to inspirational Instagrammers.
    Of course, the series has featured some of the biggest names from the AF community in terms of authors and experts (William Porter, Craig Beck and Andy Ramage) but it's also featured some ordinary people with extraordinary stories (Susan Laurie, The Gay Sober, The Sober Fish & Delroy Taylor).
    The series started with a spring chicken - Michael Brown, who's in his early 30s - and it ended with one too, with Lucy Spraggan (who's in her late 20s) wrapping up this series. It's fabulous to see that younger people are seeing the benefits of going alcohol-free and not only that, but are using their platforms to inspire others.
    If you're on an alcohol free or low alcohol journey - or thinking about starting one - this podcast is for you! Whether you're going completely alcohol free like Sharon or Freddie, or if you're just sober curious... Whether you want to stop drinking for now or quit drinking for good.... Know you're not going it alone!

    S2 Ep9: Lucy Spraggan: Sober Nov 12, 2020
    Show notes In this episode, Shazza and Freddie talk to Lucy Spraggan, the fabulous alcohol-free singer-songwriter who shot to fame on the X Factor nearly ten years ago.
    In every episode in Series 2, BBC broadcast journalist Sharon Hartley and Guinness World Record holder Freddie Bennett invite a different guest on to the podcast who have in some way inspired their own alcohol free journeys, from AF authors to inspirational Instagrammers.
    Lucy talks about her decision to go alcohol-free and how its completely changed her life - from singing a song on the X Factor called Last Night (Beer Fear) to releasing a brilliant new single which talks about her decision to ditch the booze called Sober.
    Lucy is an absolute inspiration - still in her 20s, she talks openly about her decision to go alcohol-free to her huge numbers of social media followers and is showing young people that they have the choice to decide how to live their lives, despite any social pressures that may surround them. She's open, she's honest, she's lovely - and we're delighted she spent some time with us on Over The Influence!
    If you're on an alcohol free or low alcohol journey - or thinking about starting one - this podcast is for you! Whether you're going completely alcohol free like Sharon or Freddie, or if you're just sober curious... Whether you want to stop drinking for now or quit drinking for good.... Know you're not going it alone!

    S2 Ep8: Delroy Taylor: The Winner Nov 05, 2020
    Show notes In this episode, Shazza and Freddie talk to Delroy Taylor, who is also known as Bunny Pacer on Instagram (@bunny_pacer).
    In every episode in Series 2, BBC broadcast journalist Sharon Hartley and Guinness World Record holder Freddie Bennett invite a different guest on to the podcast who have in some way inspired their own alcohol free journeys, from AF authors to inspirational Instagrammers.
    Del found Over The Influence when a friend suggested that he should listen to the first series, and we were humbled to hear that it has helped him to change his life. Now over 3 months alcohol-free, Del tells us his story - about how an abusive figure in his past led him to use alcohol to hide his fear, and how this damaged his relationships.
    He also talks about how alcohol led him to abuse harder substances, and how his brother's mental health has been so deeply affected by their difficult childhood.
    Del's story is difficult to hear, but we feel hugely privileged that he decided to use this platform to share it. If you are affected by anything you hear in this episode and would like to seek further help, please see some useful links below.
    If you're on an alcohol free or low alcohol journey - or thinking about starting one - this podcast is for you! Whether you're going completely alcohol free like Sharon or Freddie, or if you're just sober curious... Whether you want to stop drinking for now or quit drinking for good.... Know you're not going it alone!
