The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything

<p>From the outside, Matt Cock had it all. Plumbing business turning over good money. Trucks, employees, the lot. Underneath, he was running on alcohol, drugs, ego, and 16-hour days, and he knew it.</p><p>In this episode, Matt sits down with Sam and walks through the years of slow erosion that led to his rock bottom, the family intervention that put him on a plane to rehab, and the five weeks that started a rebuild that&#39;s still going three and a half years on. He talks about what real accountability looks like, why &quot;surviving to thriving&quot; is a trap nobody warns you about, and what it actually takes to come back from 300k in debt with your relationships in pieces.</p><p>This conversation is for anyone running on empty and hoping it&#39;ll sort itself out. It won&#39;t. Matt&#39;s story is the proof, and the way back.</p><p><strong>Crisis support (Australia):</strong></p><ul><li>Lifeline: 13 11 14</li><li>Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636</li><li>MensLine Australia: 1300 78 99 78</li></ul><p><strong>Connect:</strong></p><ul><li>Instagram: @rural__bridge</li><li>Web: <a href="https://www.theruralbridge.com/" target="_blank">TheruralbridgeRural</a></li><li>Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts</li></ul><p><br></p>
