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

They were very measured.

They seemed to be laughing.

And just something about the tone of voice more than necessarily what they said was just so different to the way my head had been for so many years.

Just like anxious and angry and resentful and bitter and driven and in self.

And I thought, oh, maybe I need to go wherever they go.

Hey, me, I need some of that.

And I went to a meeting the next day and haven't had a drink since.

I think really a lot of confusion.

I mean, if anyone is using a 12-step approach to try and get sober, don't worry if you don't understand it all at once, because it is quite a lot.

And you're also hearing lots of different things from lots of different people at lots of different stages of sobriety.

And I really just focused on

I feel safe in this room with these people.

I feel they know what it's like to be in my head.

I don't understand what they're talking about, but I'm gonna make sure I come back tomorrow.

And in the meantime, anything I do which isn't drinking alcohol is okay.

If whatever it is, if I watch 10 episodes or something, if I am getting to sleep sober, that's all I need to worry about.

And I was crying a lot.

I was, my head was all over the place because I had no way of feeling without alcohol.
