Episode 38 - Davey Lloyd was a contestant on the Bachelor who died during a drug induced seizure, now he's rebuilding his life.

What's The Point Anyway?

I heard Davey's story when he appeared on Behind the Smile with one of my former guests Ash Butterrs and was very keen to bring him on for a chat. I recognised Davey because I'd seen his face on TV - a 3 time contestant on the reality TV show The Bachelor, he'd spent his teens, 20's and early 30's partying hard as an archetypical modern male. Chasing girls, doing lots of cocaine and any other addiction to provide a short term boost. But behind the visage, he knew he was covering some deeper issues and after literally dying and coming back from the dead due to a drug induced seizure over 12 months ago, he finally realised he needed to rebuild a new life.

I loved this chat, because Davey hasn't worked out what the point is anyway - but he knows that the lifestyle of his past ain't it. He's done an incredible job to stay sober over a year now and this was a raw discussion, recorded over 2 sessions, where we see him in the process of rebuilding himself.
