Three northern blokes talk about midlife and growing old disgracefully: the kind of things you want to say, but rarely ever do. Hosts David Eccles, Phil Birchenall and Andy Hall explore how confronting life head-on - with all the crap it throws your way - makes you stronger, older, bolder and, of course, that little bit wiser. We’ll share our own experiences and talk to friends about life’s ups and downs, what’s worked, and what definitely didn’t.  Frank, fearless, funny. Talking Cod.

Breaking Free Of Booze: How Sober Dave Turned His Life Around

For our first guest of 2024, we're thrilled to have David Wilson, aka Sober Dave, share his raw and inspiring journey. For 40 years, Dave was entangled in an ongoing battle with alcohol, a struggle that nearly ruined his life—but a pivotal moment in January 2019 marked the beginning of an extraordinary transformation.

Dave opens up about his darkest days – a time when his health deteriorated and alcohol became his master. Following a life-changing text from a friend, his story is a testament to the power of self-realisation and the courage to change. Listen to find out how he bravely embarked on a journey of sobriety, starting with a three-month challenge that evolved into a permanent lifestyle change.

This episode is not just about overcoming addiction; it's a story of redemption, resilience, and rediscovery. Dave's transformation led him to become a coach, podcaster (One For The Road - Apple Podcasts / Spotify), and author (One For The Road - Amazon), advocating for a life free from alcohol's grip.

If Dave's story resonates with you, or if you have your own tales of triumph, we're all ears at hello@talkingcod.com. And remember, if you're hooked on our stories, show us some love with a like, share, or follow.
