Steve story podcast

Have you ever hit rock bottom so hard it felt like the only way out was further down? From the Gutter to the Open Road isn't just a book; it's a raw, unflinching journey through the depths of addiction, homelessness, and self-loathing, into the unexpected light of recovery and a life reinvented.


This podcast delves into the powerful story of a man who, after a decade lost to alcohol and despair, finds an unlikely path to redemption behind the wheel of a 44-tonne lorry. From the terrifying moment of a near-fatal relapse at a roadside pub to the quiet triumph of finding purpose on Britain's motorways, this memoir explores the often-lonely battle for sobriety and the surprising places where healing can take root.
