Alcohol Explained...
Come and meet William Porter at our live podcast event
A few years ago when I wrote my book Happy Healthy Sober, I knew I wanted to focus on positive sobriety, and share my enthusiasm for choosing an alcohol free life, but It felt super important to also include some cold hard facts about alcohol. I knew there was no better contributor to add a section, than William Porter, author of Alcohol Explained The definitive, ground-breaking guide to alcohol, alcoholism and addiction.
He has inspired SO many people and you can meet him at our live podcast recording at Club Soda, the alcohol free bar in London on Tuesday March 18 at 7.30 pm Its the perfect opportunity to meet with like minded people in a cool bar in central London.

William Porter started drinking and smoking at around 14 years old. As an adult he read ‘Allen Carr’s Easyway to stop smoking’ and was fascinated by the pragmatic approach to such a complicated subject. William’s drinking steadily increased for a quarter of a century, during which he joined the 4th Reserve Battalion of the Parachute Regiment, served a 6 month tour of Iraq, qualified as a lawyer, worked in Financial Services got married, and had children. He continued to take a common sense analysis of the physical consequences, coupled with the psychological factors at play, finally quitting for good in 2014 and collating all his experience and knowledge into a life-changing book Alcohol Explained (1 & 2)
William is really good at explaining in a relatable way that Alcoholism, or alcohol dependency, is made up of two elements; the chemical and the psychological. and explains how alcohol affects human beings on a chemical, physiological and psychological level, from those first drinks right up to chronic alcoholism, providing detailed instructions on how to beat it.
William is also author of ‘Diet and Fitness Explained’ which gets under the skin of eating habits, and provides a simple to understand guide to the entire riddle of diet and fitness, and ‘Nicotine Explained’ which helps you understand why you smoke, vape or chew, and how to learn to stop. It’s so critical for us to really get our grounding the ‘WHY’, Why do we want to stop? Why do we want to change our behaviours?
