The Man Hug - Ep021 - Abstinence - Ben Taylor The Magic Mod, Sam Batley & Dr Walter Tasosa
In this episode we concentrate on the theme of abstinence. We have three more incredible guests. Ben Taylor aka The Magic Mod tells us his story of aspiration, rock n roll magic and his story of abstinence following a struggle with alcohol. Ben now inspires others and delivers his story honestly and openly.
We are also joined by Sam Batley who is a self taught multi-disciplined artist basing his work in film photography, analogue collage and poetry. Sam was helped through the Damien John Kelly House and tells us his story and all of the amazing work that takes place at DJKH.
We are also joined in an 'ask the expert' section by Dr Walter Tasosa who gives us a lesson on alcohol, addiction and the brain.
