In this episode, Danni sits down with Chris Gimple from Clean Slate Clinic to talk about some of the things that shocked him in early sobriety. One of the biggest surprises was getting comfortable with boredom. Without alcohol, life can feel a little dull at times, especially when we've spent so long caught up in chaos. Chris opens up about how many of us unknowingly become accustomed to that sense of constant drama, and how adjusting to a calmer life takes time.Disturbed sleep patterns were another challenge, something many people experience when first quitting alcohol. Chris also describes what he calls the “lost puppy syndrome”—that feeling of not knowing what to do with yourself when drinking is no longer part of your life. But as the brain begins to reboot and adjust, things start to shift.He talks about the power of delayed gratification and how putting in the work leads to real, lasting rewards. Most importantly, he reminds us that change doesn't happen without action, and that a relapse doesn't mean you're back to square one and that it can be a therapeutic tool.

Public consultation opened last month on the independent statutory review for which the ultimate findings are due this summer. It comes as overcrowding has spiralled once again at University Hospital Limerick with 138 waiting for a bed at the facility this morning according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation. Lahinch-based Patient Advocate on HSE Midwest's Programme Improvement Board John Wall has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons he believes when it comes to the prospect of a second ED in this region, it's a question of when, not if.

Clare people are being urged to make their opinions known on the future of emergency care in the MidWest before the deadline expires next week. As part of HIQA's review to determine if a second emergency department is needed in the region, it's accepting public submissions online and by post until next Thursday, January 15th. University Hospital Limerick remains by far the most overcrowded hospital in the country , with the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation recording 329 patients on trolleys there so far this week. Ennistymon based MidWest Hospital Campaign Spokesperson Marie McMahon says every voice is crucial.

Hopes For Progress On "Very Important" Shannon Airport Access Road This Year

It's hoped a new road in Shannon can get at least as far as the planning permission stage this year in the interest of Shannon Airport's continued growth. It's just one of the projects being named as a priority by Clare's local elected representatives for 2025. Following the co-option of James and Conor Ryan last month, Clare County Council will meet for the first time this year next Monday, January 13th. Among the long-awaited projects expected to get over the line in the coming months is the Ennis Town Bus Service which was included by name in Budget 2025. The service will feature two routes, with one traversing Ennis from the Lahinch Road to the Tulla Road, while the second will go from Clarecastle to Ballymaley via Friar's Walk. Mayor of Ennis, Fianna Fáil Councillor Clare Colleran-Molloy, says the service will be in operation by the end of June. Moving to Clare's second town, a recent update from the local authority on the N19 Shannon Airport Access Road Improvement Scheme indicated that the design team are working towards finalising the documentation required for a planning application. The road, which has been in the works for a number of years, would go from the roundabout at Drumgeely to the airport, and would feature six controlled pedestrian crossings, new bus stops, cycle lanes, footpaths and public lighting. Cathaoirleach of the Shannon Municipal District, Cratloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat O'Gorman, believes if the Clare base is expected to grow, the road must be in place as soon as possible. Roads are also of major concern in the East Clare region which it's often argued has been historically under-funded when it comes to maintaining and improving the roads network. Leas Cathaoirleach of the Killaloe Municipal District, Maghera Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Hayes claims many areas haven't seen adequate levels of investment in recent times. Turning to West Clare, all eyes appear to be on healthcare and specifically on access to emergency care. The HIQA report examining the viability of a second emergency department in the Midwest isn't due until June while an interim report has been promised by Taoiseach Simon Harris early this year. Cathaoirelach of the West Clare Municipal District and Doonbeg Fianna Fáil Councillor Rita McInerney, who's a member of the Regional Health Forum West, insists an new ED is needed and it must be in Ennis.

In this episode I catch up with an old friend to explore our personal journeys with alcohol, reflecting on our shared experiences growing up in a culture where drinking was prevalent. We discuss the impact of alcohol and the outcomes of drinking far too much at a young age and the impact that had on our identities, and the impact of alcohol on young brains. We talk about talking to our kids about alcohol and how to recognise and navigate the feeling of social awkwardness. Mel shares her insights on how her relationship with alcohol had evolved over the years, emphasising the significance of understanding our emotions and the role of love in recovery. We explore the transformative journey of mindfulness, sobriety, and self-discovery. The importance of yoga and meditation in fostering a deeper connection with oneself, the challenges of navigating emotional landscapes without alcohol.To find out more about our next retreat in Bali go tohttps://www.iquitalcohol.com.au/collections/retreatTo reach out to Mel or find out where her next yoga class is go toIG @mindfulconnectionsauFor more resources such as coaching or to join the next HIQA challenge go towww.iquitalcohol.com.auFollow HIQA insta @howiquitalcohol Music for Podcast intro and outro written by Danni Carr performed by Mr CassidyIf you are struggling with physical dependancy on alcohol consider contacting a local AA meeting or a drug and alcohol therapist.
