After a traumatic tour in Afghanistan in 2011, Pete found himself experiencing troubling thoughts and feelings but didn't think much of it. Before long his mental health was spiralling out of control and his life would never be the same again. In 2016 was diagnosed with severe depression and PTSD and at his lowest was considered a danger to himself and others. That was when he had a decision to make, end it all now or find a way to fight on.

He chose to fight and after a lot of specialist therapy, medication and personal development, he came out the other side a different man, but a better man. Pete learnt a lot on his journey, about himself, the wider world, mental health issues and how scary and lonely the world can be for those who are suffering.

Now a published author, public speaker and running his own mental health training & consultancy business, Pete considers himself incredibly lucky to be able to use his experience to help others support themselves and others and to teach people what he considers his greatest lesson:

It's when things seem worst that you must never quit, you are stronger than you think.

Episode 6 

Sobriety His Way with Pete White 

Pete White, aka Pete On Repeat on Instagram, began to unearth a life of purpose in the ruins of Alcoholism and Divorce in September of 2015, after a bittersweet sweet rock bottom.  Since that time, Pete has gotten sober, quit smoking, lost 80lbs, and has helped hundreds of people get and stay sober and navigate divorce and co-parenting with my brass-tacks, no-nonsense account of my experience. Somehow, there's a bright side. 

In this episode, we talk with Pete about what led him to quit drinking, his final rock bottom, how a red-head stranger saved his life, and what divorce and being a single dad has looked like in his recovery. 

Pete shares, for the first time, what he did after he quit drinking to aid in his recovery, and what he does today to help him stay sober.  Social media, especially Instagram, has become Pete's platform for sharing his story through beautiful and well-written posts that capture every detail of what sobriety has done for him and his relationship with his son. 

Questions and topics in this episode:  

• What was your final rock bottom?
• What role did drinking play in your marriage and divorce? 
• How did you know when it was time to get help? 
• What (and who) helped you when you first quit drinking? 
• What does life look like now as a sober dad?
• There is not one way to get sober or recover. 

Please visit Pete's Instagram and tell him hello - he would love to hear from you.
