Приєднався 28 лип 2020
Welcome to the Back On Track Podcast with me, Sam West. My mission is to inspire, helping you to get through the tough times and live a better, more fulfilling life. On the show I speak to inspirational people who’ve come back from rock bottom, and also experts that provide you with the tools you need to implement positive changes in your life.
The fact is, we all go through difficult times where it feels like things are going off the rails - that’s what makes us human. It’s happened to me in the form of mental illness, and it may have happened to you in different way too. But by listening to how others got things back on track, and learning how to improve our physical and mental state, we can go from suffering to outright thriving.
If you’ve been on the journey so far, I just wanna say thanks so much for supporting, and if you’re new here I wanna say welcome, and I hope you enjoy the show!

My Near-Death Experience with COVID-19 & the Healing Power of Nature - Robin Hanbury-Tenison
On today's episode is one of the last great remaining explorers of our generation, Robin Hanbury-Tenison, OBE. On the show we discuss Robin's remarkable story of surviving coronavirus, his incredible explorations and the healing power of nature.
Back in March 2020, Robin was one of the very first patients in the UK to become seriously ill and hospitalised with COVID, and spent five weeks in a coma in intensive care.
Needing a ventilator and other equipment just to keep him alive, doctors gave Robin just a 5% chance of survival. Hospital staff even made the phone call to Robin's wife on a number of occasions suggesting that the end could be near.
However, in a miraculous turn of events, Robin was wheeled in his hospital bed outside to the healing garden of Derriford Hospital in Plymouth where he finally regained conscious and knew he was going to survive. Robin cites the healing power of nature as being the thing that saved him, and talks at length in the podcast episode about how we can all benefit from nature's healing properties.
A mere 5 months later Robin climbed Cornwall's highest peak, Brown Willy, during some of the worst weather the area has ever seen, in order to raise money for a new healing garden at the Royal Cornwall Hospital. Robin raised over £100,000 for the cause and the garden is now in use at the hospital.
Robin is a fantastic example of defying the odds in the harshest of circumstances, and I think we can all take some inspiration from his grit and determination to survive.

Well done lauren 👏 keep it up .. great podcast guys
Wow absolutely superb I grew up with tam in Springburn he will remember hickory street so glad he is doing well and settled in life well done thomas
I just discovered Claire. Please, Claire, put some more videos up on UA-cam. I have NEVER found anyone who has been open and revealed they have social anxiety like I have suffered with for so many years. I have your book on order with Amazon. You have been incredible!!!
Miss Lauren you’re a gem 💎🙌
Jordan, every once in a while I think about your story, especially because I live with loved ones with addiction issues, and your story, while difficult to revisit, gives me hope for those that I love. I am so grateful that I got to meet you for a brief time, though I'm so sorry I feel like I saw what was happening in the beginning and didn't do more, though I guess there was nothing I could have done. I'm so happy to see these updates and how happy you are now!
this pods needed
Love this x
An inspirational story! Thanks for sharing with us Drew Goodall!
The proof of human resilience in spite of adversity and of course the proof that you must inner strength to keep fighting against wrongful arrest/conviction and police incompetence (which doesn’t mean I’m saying the police are all incompetent or abuse their power however when they do the consequences are usually tragic)
I’m currently getting to the point where I’ve realised it is an addiction. With me for context I lost my brother when I was 5 and due to that I got kind of coddled as a child and didn’t get out much ‘ have any social interaction so it made me get brought up as a very shy.. non confident lad. I first had coke when I was 19-20 and it made me get out of that shy.. awkward shell and allowed me to be able to talk to people on a night out and that’s what done it for me. 2 year ago I was spending 300 a week and ended up cutting that down to 40-8p a week and now due to situations im back onto 300-400 a week alone. By myself. And have stopped seeing friends. No one even knows about this. I just don’t know where to go from here.
It’s to a point where over the last 3-4 years 90% of my pay goes on it.
@@jimmyhug2694what about your health. At least try to Rede it
I’m 24 and can completely relate with her. Booze and cocaine destroyed me very quickly as this disease is extremely progressive. I’m beyond thankful to be 6 months sober today. I didn’t look right, talk right and didn’t act right. I also blew an absurd amount of money on coke during my addiction ($220 for an eightball every week). I thank God each day for my sobriety!
amazing tom, , my husband said godbless you , rember jo said we men are just hairy babys lol
Well done love, amazing story you should be proud of yourself!
One of the best potcasts IV heard..the bit about telling urself the lie before doing ABIT work .. powerful and very honest 👌🏴
Cheers James for listening and sharing your thoughts on the podcast, really appreciate it!
p̶r̶o̶m̶o̶s̶m̶ 😞
Loved this , the concept to feel the fear 😨 and do it anyway was a revelation as it’s offering empowerment and not colluding with anxiety . Great insights . Thank you 🙏
I’ve had cannabis induced depersonalisation since the end of 2018 but I’ve relapsed with cannabis to mask the symptoms as I couldn’t cope with it anymore and then when I stop using cannabis I’m left severely depersonalised again (I’m 21)
I live with this mental i'llnes , atypical depression since. I hace 23 years now i'm 28 , i have allá symptoms , hipersomnia , leaden parálysis , hyperfagia, rejection sensitivity , i hve read a Lot of articles on internet , they Say this belongs to bipolar depressed mixed state , but they don't mention an acurate treatment , they are only some cases with moderate or much response with olanzapine , lurasidone, aripiprazol, cariprazine , amisulpride and valpakine , this vídeo is the first , that i see response with psychostimulants like amphetamines, i havr a question? Does dexamphetamine still have a great response? Or this causes a hypomanic symptoms ir tolerance actually?
Lauren is very insightful. I can relate and these types of conversations are what helps an addict understand themselves. Thank you for asking the questions and making this available for us
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts on the episode. I’m really glad you found it useful in some way 😊
Loved this mate. So good to hear the confidence in your more positive outlook on life! We are all certainly very thankful that we still have you here with us. Can't wait to see you when I get home from NZ!
Thanks mate! Wouldn’t be here without the support of family and incredible friends like you. Big love and looking forward to seeing you soon bro! 😊💙
A full blown addict knows how much they were using and the awful DAILY cost. Not denying she used it...but not the full blown addict...I know!
I'm a recovering opiate addict I knew damned well how much I was spending a day lmao. But cocaine is complex especially if you're drinking with it. Some people borrow money or find some or spend it not unknowingly but carelessly so they don't keep track after doing multiple grams a day or 8 ball
Proud . 💕💕💕💕🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks Helen!! 💙💙💙
@@BackOnTrackPodcast welcome 🙏
My first thought was who has broken into Sam’s house and taken over his podcast!! 😂 Looking forward to listening to this on my drive home 👍
Haha thanks for watching bro, hope you enjoyed it or found it useful in some way ☺️👍
@@BackOnTrackPodcast Yes, I really enjoyed listening - you are very brave mate and well done for building the podcast! I also listened to Alfie's episode which was great!
Loved this one mate. It was great to see you on the other side of the table and finally hear your story... from start, to finish :D Alfie also did a cracking job like you said. Maybe you've found a new co-presenter?!
I had the exact same thought. You riff off each other very well!
Thanks a lot for the support as always mate! Was definitely weird being on the other side of the mic haha, and I think we will definitely have to get Alf in to co-present on a few episodes if he’s up for it! 👀
👏
Super cool! Good luck on your journey!
Thanks mate! 😊👍
Thank you for all you do.
This was sick! So unique as well 👏🏿. Big up with everything you’re doing!
Thank you bro!!
Absolutely loved 🥰 it . Great advice . Love the scenery how can you not . I can understand why people play golf ⛳️.
Thanks for watching Helen! And yeah it honestly does wonders for the mental health! :)
Amazing podcasts as so many people do battle adversity in silence as it takes a lot to say I am not ok . Love the advice given by the guest speakers and it helps others to realise there is always hope . It helps . Great content . 🙏.
I only binge these substances at the weekend like a lot of people in the UK..This behaviour is almost the norm..The weekend 'sesh' etc...No more though after a few months sobriety here and there im done with it now ..The comedowns and relapses get worse and worse..Exercise is the way forward...I believe a lot of addiction starts with childhood trauma and genetics...I'm 50 in three months , new year, new start, its not easy as I still want to socialise but can't feel like this anymore..Thanks for sharing Lauren..
I'm in the grip of it. I've lost so much.
Chin up lad, it’s doable
Loved the podcast what a warrior Liana is. Omg 😱. Total respect ✊ and I am sure she will smash the Triple Crown . She is infectious with her positivity. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I totally agree her positivity is so infectious and it was a pleasure to do the interview! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts on it 😊❤️
My goodness what a warrior Ryan is . I thoroughly enjoyed the podcast due to the aspect of the fragility of mental health and how a change in circumstances can flip everything from being in a good place to a bad one . This particular podcast linked our change in circumstances to our change in mindset abc mostly and most importantly, it illustrates we are all only human , all trying our best . Thank you so much for sharing . You have just shone a bright light on the complexities of mental health. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️
A very interesting and knowledgable podcast about panic attacks and anxiety. Honest , raw , but ultimately very empowering. Thank you 🙏
It's funny how being wealthy / materially safe while suffering from that made you feel guilty and think "I'm privileged I shouldn't dwell on that, everything should be okay, why am i being like that, etc". I was the embodiment of precarity : had to run away at 16 in another country, was on the streets, had to manage finishing school and get to university all by myself, bla bla. Meanwhile, depression began to be more and more crippling, and I was feeling fucking guilty too, like i was sabotaging myself. What was running through my mind was that I didn't have time for that and couldn't allow all those painful/crippling things because I *had* to be functioning, and work, and study, and eat, and pay my rent and... pretty much that lead me to take drugs just to power through it. I couldn't afford a competent doctor for a while also. So although I can imagine it can be sort of more confortable to not have problems knowing how you're gonna eat the next day, you still have guilt no matter what, either you think you shouldn't feel that way cause others got it worse, either you shouldn't feel this way cause you can't , and also " look at people around you they re doing it, WHY CAN'T YOU.". Both cases, it doesn't help. EDIT : Oh fü, iT WAS ADD ? The twist.
I would seriously love to share my story on your channel
I really respect the fact that she acknowledged her privilege in the addiction recovery process. She’s so humble and articulate, this was a fantastic interview
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts on the episode! Lauren is an amazing person and was so nice to interview ☺️👍
