Alcohol & Drug Addiction... An Un-Talked About Epidemic | A Podcast With Alex Kitchen

Alcohol & drugs are seen as societal norms in this day and age. People even react with concern if you choose not to drink at a social occasion… this is something that still astonishes me and I believe there is an underlying issue in todays society with people living for the weekend and just getting through the working week to then escape their issues through drugs and alcohol on a weekend.

 

In todays podcast I sit down with personal trainer & ex pro footballer Alex Kitchen to discuss his issues with alcohol & drug addiction. Alex was very open about his whole situation and what he went through, including his time down at Sporting Chance Clinic after his drink & drug abuse went too far.
