On this weeks episode, I invited one of my training partners onto my sofa to have a chat about the battles he was having.  I don't know Tom on a personal level so I really didn't know what to expect from our conversation.  I knew Tom had a lot going on but I had no idea what was causing his pain.Among other things, Tom found alcohol as a coping mechanism and his partner recently raised concerns for his health with the amount of alcohol he was consuming.  Tom has taken the concerns onboard and is making a very real effort to change his behaviours to better his mental and physical health.Check out https://adfam.org.uk/help-for-families/useful-organisations for useful links to advice and help around drugs and alcohol, for yourself or those you may be concerned about.
