From Elixir to Wellness: Alan Hull's Journey Through Addiction, Connection, and Mindful Recovery

MPower You Podcast

In this insightful episode, Michael sits down with Alan Hull, a former technical officer in electronics who rode the wave of the 1980s computer revolution. Despite his lucrative career, Alan struggled with a deep-seated addiction to alcohol which he describes as his "elixir of life," a remedy to the stress and tension he constantly felt. This addiction led to a reckless lifestyle that only escalated after the loss of his sister, Shani, to alcoholism and drug addiction.

Alan hit rock bottom at the age of 27 when he finally sought help. His recount of the day he entered the detox clinic is filled with dread and fear. He felt utterly alone, convinced no one could understand or relate to his situation. Yet, this perception shifted dramatically when another patient introduced him to everyone in the detox clinic. Alan found himself amidst people who shared similar experiences and feelings, marking a significant turning point in his life. From that day forward, Alan began his journey towards recovery, involving not only the cessation of alcohol consumption but a deep commitment to achieving wellness. He clarifies that wellness is not simply the absence of illness, but a state to actively strive for.

This pursuit led Alan to explore the functioning of his mind, particularly the dichotomy between the thinking and feeling parts of our brains. He emphasizes that understanding of this complex dynamic is crucial to overcoming addiction and fostering mental health. His journey and insights offer hope to those dealing with addiction, underscoring the importance of connection, empathy, and understanding the workings of one's mind.
