How a Restaurateur Quit Drinking: Justin's Sobriety Story

Justin T-Bone is 10 years sober after 25 years of drinking that started the week he walked away from being a top-three sprinter in the country. In this recovery story, he walks through how he quit drinking — from running bars, nightclubs and award-winning restaurants as a functioning alcoholic, to four months alone in a rented garage getting sober.

Justin opens up about Suffolk's 100m county record he's held since 1986, the daily scotch at 6am because his hands shook too badly to enter his PIN, the shoplifting moment that was his rock bottom, and the morning at the gym when he knew he would never drink again. Ten years on, four stone lighter, and still living one day at a time.
