It's called Thirst, 12 Drinks That Changed My Life, and it's out now.
In many episodes of How Do You Cope, you'll have heard me talk about my relationship with alcohol, and in writing Thirst, I wanted to explore what alcohol means.
Why did it mean more to me than other people?
Why did it mean some things felt better, and why did it mean so many things went wrong?
I also talk about lots of other things you'll have heard me and my guests discuss on How Do You Cope?
Meditation, physical pain, gratitude, trauma, and therapy.
There's even a chapter about my bum and its relationship with Buddhism.
So if that piques your interest, Thirst is out now, and the audiobook, read by me, is available wherever you get audiobooks from.
Welcome everyone to the Gratitude List and I'm delighted to say that I'm still joined by Rhian.
And I was conscious when you were talking earlier in our discussion that you were very clear on how fortunate you'd been in lots of ways before you lost George and Paul.
And I don't know whether that's by design or that's just...
who you are but that sort of building up of positives in some sense has that been helpful to you in in the grieving process to always try to find another interpretation of a scenario or a way things could be worse even when you are going through the worst
And when you're meeting with families very early on in their grieving process, like you were saying, your charity's goal is a knock at the door within 24 hours.
Are they coming to you with questions?
Are they sort of, what are they asking?
What sort of things are you passing on to them?
And in terms of saying the wrong thing, something I wanted to ask in the discussion on the main episode is, especially with suicide, people even are very tense about that word.
And I've heard people being sort of told off for using that word.
Do people sometimes not say anything in order to not say the wrong thing?
And what's your experience of some of the right and wrong things to say?
