They Think It's All Sober

This week, we’re talking about fitness, sobriety and the strange line between doing something because it makes you feel good and feeling like you have to do it just to feel okay.

Jamie talks about the shame cycle that used to come with drinking: waking up hungover, feeling awful about himself, promising to do better and then eventually doing it all over again. Now, years into sobriety, he’s noticed something familiar creeping into his relationship with the gym.

Training six or seven days a week feels incredible. It gives him routine, endorphins, confidence and a positive outlet that works brilliantly alongside sobriety. But what happens when missing a workout brings guilt? When you start obsessing over calories, weight, steps and how your body looks? Have you actually broken the cycle, or have you just found a healthier-looking place to put it?

We talk about why so many of us throw ourselves into fitness after getting sober, when that can be an incredibly positive thing, and when discipline can quietly start turning into obsession.

Because the aim isn’t to stop caring about fitness. It’s learning how to let it add to your life without letting it run your life.

How do you hide a cocaine addiction when you’re the person everyone depends on?

This week, we’re joined by Kaitlin Reeve, the creator behind @soberasamotherfocused, for one of our most raw conversations yet. Kaitlin opens up about living a double life as a mother battling cocaine addiction, the lies she told herself, the fear of being exposed, and how quickly everything she cared about came close to falling apart.

We talk about the guilt of parenting while in active addiction, the stigma that keeps so many mothers silent, and the moment she realised she had to choose between continuing down a path that was destroying her or fighting for the life she wanted.

This is an unflinching conversation about addiction, shame, recovery and redemption. It’s a reminder that addiction doesn’t discriminate and that no matter how dark things become, there is always a way back.

A relapse doesn’t erase your progress, and a blip doesn’t have to become a full return to old habits. In this episode, we talk honestly about what happens when things don’t go to plan, why shame keeps so many people stuck, and how to get back on track without writing yourself off. Whether you’ve slipped, you’re supporting someone who has, or you’re living with the fear that it might happen one day, this is a conversation about honesty, compassion, and remembering that recovery isn’t about perfection; it’s about what you do next.

This week, Jamie and Tom sit down with the host of Class A People to talk about addiction, how quickly drugs can take a hold on your life, and the long road back. Hannah opens up about rebuilding her life from scratch, how recovery led her to create one of the UK’s most honest platforms for conversations around addiction, and why she’s determined to challenge the stigma that still exists.

They also dive into life with adult ADHD, how it intersects with addiction and recovery, and the realities of trying to build a career and a sense of self when your brain works differently.

It’s a conversation about resilience, identity, and proving that your lowest point doesn’t have to define the rest of your life.

“It’s coming home…” or is it? As England once again dares to dream, Jamie and Tom use football fever as the perfect jumping-off point for a much bigger conversation about identity, hope, and who we become when we strip away the things that used to define us.

Getting sober isn’t just about giving something up. It’s about figuring out who you actually are without alcohol. What do you enjoy? What do you stand for? And how do you build a life that genuinely feels like yours?

This week, Jamie and Tom dive into the surprising strength that comes from saying yes to new experiences, stepping outside your comfort zone and rediscovering joy. But they also explore something that’s just as important: knowing when to say no. Setting boundaries, protecting your peace, and realising that sobriety isn’t about pleasing everyone. It’s about being true to yourself.
Whether England finally brings it home or not, this episode is all about finding your own way home, to yourself.
