In a recent survey on Substance Use and Mental Health Indicators in the US, 60% of Americans that are currently battling drug or alcohol addictions also have jobs. It’s way more common than we think and many of us have a problem and don’t know it. So when do you know? When your whole life has fallen apart? When you’re living in a bedsit (if you’re lucky) and seeing your children once a month?

Sam Delaney, celebrated author, podcaster, TV celebrity and journalist sits down and bares his soul as we discuss his new book – Sort Your Head Out – about mental health for men, which addresses drink and drug addiction, interventions and recovery – a raw, compassionate and hilarious account of why opening up is the first step to sorting your head out.

Sam is a qualified Mental Health counselor and host of mental health podcast The Reset.
