After remaining sober for 6 months, a former alcohol addict has finally opened up on his past life on The Late Afternoon Show with Berla Mundi.

The young man referred to as Pious during the interview disclosed that due to his addiction to alcohol, he used to consume a crate of alcohol daily.

Asked if it had any effect on him, he answered in the negative saying that his system had become accustomed to the feeling of drunkenness.

Speaking on how it started, he disclosed he began drinking out of curiosity in primary school when his mother used to send him to buy her some Pito.

His drinking habits worsened in secondary school as he found smart ways of sneaking alcohol into his dormitory.

This habit continued even at the tertiary level and it affected him so badly. The real reason for his reliance on alcohol? He caught his woman in bed with his best friend. He has suffered physically and emotionally for over 10 years due to addiction.

Pious, however, discovered the House of St. Francis Clinic and Rehab Centre in Ashiaman and is currently undergoing treatment.

The Late Afternoon Show hosted by Berla Mundi ushers in a new era of a talk show which delves into social issues, real-life stories and lifestyle from the point of the young, fun and vibrant adult. With a mixed bag of everything that is discussed among the new generation, the show tends to identify with the emotions of people whiles seeking to answer often asked questions on health, wealth, fashion, cuisine, entertainment and more.

Each episode tackles a specific theme and topic with experts, personalities or celebrities coming in to share peculiar and outstanding stories about themselves and others in order to inspire, advice and inform viewers. The idea is to have a show that borders on all aspects of life to cater for various age brackets depending on their mood and interest.

The Late Afternoon Show runs every Monday and Friday at 5 pm on GHOne TV and DSTV CH 361.
