On The Mend · The Night John Robins Knew He Had to Quit Drinking · 1 Jun 2026 podcast

So, you know, two years on from my GP saying that, I was still drinking.

Relationships had ended.

Life was difficult.

I was hearing things, seeing things.

And I just tried everything.

But I don't know why it was in that moment.

I'd come back from, I'd been playing golf, which I know you're into.

I was obsessed with golf.

Another like really alcoholic behavior around it.

I got home and I was like, right, John, you haven't had a night off for like three weeks or something mad.

You need to not drink tonight.

It's about four o'clock.

And as I was saying that out loud, I live alone, so I speak out loud a lot.

I was like, right, tonight off.

I'd gone through into the back room.

I'd opened it.

I had a special beer fridge.

I'd taken out a can and I'm like literally drinking out of it as I'm halfway through the sentence going, you can't have a drink tonight.

So then I, you know, I carried on drinking for four or five hours and passed out.

And I woke up about two in the morning.
