Sober Athlete: Lewis Harrington On Quit Drinking And Pro Sport
About this episode
Lewis Harrington was a professional golfer. He was also a drinker, from 16. Two drink driving convictions by 21. A career that should have been about consistency and discipline, dismantled quietly by Friday nights, away trips, and the championed hangover.
In January 2019 he stopped. Same week Sober Dave did. They've never sat down one-on-one until now.
Lewis takes Dave through the moment in a curry house in Spain when a mate said I can't do this anymore. The 90 days that became four years. The two years of grinding work that came after. The line that anchors him now: you can't deliver a message and live the opposite.
