022 Chris Raine | Healing Through Addiction, Alcoholism & Community (Hello Sunday Morning)

Chris Raine has struggled with alcohol and has (mostly) overcome the addiction as well as the depression which causes it. But what makes Chris's story unique is HOW he did it. In 2009, Chris Raine undertook a year-long experiment to quit drinking. A nightclub promoter at the time, Chris blogged about the challenges and successes of this experiment when he woke up hangover-free every Sunday Morning signing off with “Hello, Sunday Morning!” In the 10 years since first extending the challenge to his flatmate, Chris grew "Hello Sunday Morning" into a bona-fide health service. He has since left the organisation and has started new projects which he talks about in this conversation. But this conversation isn't just about building an incredible community or overcoming alcohol. This conversation is about how to make the world a better place through being the example that people need to see in the world. It's about leadership with authenticity, allowing others to shine just as much as you do, finding partners who compliment your weaknesses and being true to who you truly are. If you know anyone struggling with drinking just a bit too much alcohol, be sure to share this conversation with them! Enjoy!
