Press Pause On Drinking: Karl Elliott's Sober Story
This week, Rich & Ben are joined by Alcohol Free Coach & Mentor, Karl Elliott.
Karl drank daily for 20 years, & in his own words, he “worked, parented & from the outside, life was mostly fine.”
But in June, 2016, Karl pressed pause on alcohol for 90 days. Those 90 days become a year. And that year became ten.
Karl opens up about his time as a daily drinker, the moments that changed things for him & how sobriety has given him a new purpose - helping other people find their feet. There’s plenty about the power of support, kindness & having someone in your corner when you need it most.
Karl also shares the story behind his book, I Believe in You & his Press Pause 90 programme, helping people explore life without alcohol.
It’s a lovely, honest conversation about second chances, believing in yourself & what can happen when you give yourself that chance.
Rich & Ben, The Sober Men: The Podcast. Life can & does get better.

Helping Others, Helping Ourselves
Hola! How we doing? This week, Rich & Ben chat about the power of helping others in sobriety, how a little kindness can go a long way & why giving back can bring a real sense of purpose.
From the ripple effect of recovery to simply being there for someone without judgement, they explore how supporting others can help us grow too. Sometimes, you don’t need all the answers or the perfect advice - just a willingness to listen & let someone know they’re not alone.
Ben’s stubble is returning, cue George Michael & why he’s now singing Lionel Ritchie for all the right reasons. Issues with your underfloor heating? Then Rich is your man. But be warned, if he invites you for dinner, he’ll be in his pants.
Actor, Ewan McGregor is 26 years sober & “in the frame” & plans are a foot to find an instant coffee that hits the spot.
Rich & Ben, The Sober Men. Grateful. And happy.
