S5 Ep 2 From alcohol and substance abuse to clean and sober after transitioning! - a podcast by Shane Ave Productions

Originally from Glasgow Scotland, Sam is a transgender guy who has had to overcome some massive hurdles in his journey to understanding gender and what it meant for him. Sam abused alcohol and substances as a means of masking the confusion and pain that he felt from being “different”. Sam talks about his childhood bullies and how they impacted his life, the dark days of his teenage years and his diagnosis of ADHD as an adult and how he lives with his diagnosis whilst also being completely sober. No doubt many will resonate with Sam’s story and we trust that his raw and honest encounter will help many who are on a similar journey.
