OYNB Podcast Scott Thomas on Breaking the Chains of Alcohol
Coming from a successful famous family sounds like it could be the perfect life, but for Scott Thomas, it exposed him to a world of temptation; as a club promoter and regular attendee at glitzy product launches as a PR company owner in his home town of Manchester.
This explosive episode lifts the lid on the complexities of fame, identity, and the way public life's pressures can shape - and sometimes distort - one's future. Hear how Scott, best known for his time on reality TV show Love Island, publicly trod the path to sobriety, and how his personal battle with compulsive behaviours played out in the papers, rather than behind closed doors.
Ruari and Scott also discuss living with an ADHD diagnosis and the clarity that it can bring to your life at a time when you're learning how to manage compulsive behaviours. Opening up about how community continues to play a critical role in his sobriety, Scott offers some strategies and support for those facing similar hurdles.
Scott's story is full of empowerment, and charts a journey in which alcohol became denormalized, breaking free from the grasp it had on his daily life. The transformation from surviving to thriving demonstrates that with the right support, everyone can change their relationship with alcohol. Whether under the lens of publicity, or privately.
