Nick didn’t have a dramatic rock bottom—he just knew alcohol was quietly holding him back. In his 60s, he made the decision to stop drinking and start living with more purpose.

In this episode, we talk about how marathon training gave him the focus to quit, how getting into the gym helped him build structure in retirement, and how he’s found new energy and meaning without the booze.

With decades of experience in the police, Nick also shares his perspective on how alcohol affects frontline services like policing and the NHS—and what life could look like if alcohol stopped draining the systems we all rely on.

A powerful conversation about alcohol recovery, personal growth, and proving that change is possible at any age.
