Paul Drayton

I'm Dr. Danny Roberts, President and CEO of Moral Injury Support Network for Service Women Incorporated, a nonprofit organization based in North Carolina that focuses on helping women veterans recover from traumas while serving, suffered while serving in the military.

Today we have a very special guest with us, Paul Drayton.

And he recently wrote a book called Ride or Die Trying, A Life Before, During, and After the Laughter.

It is a brutally honest and hilarious memoir about addiction recovery, fame-adjacent life, and learning how to start again.

When Paul Drayton briefly finds himself in prison in 2022 after a dangerous driving conviction, he's forced to confront the truth about the life he has been living.

What follows is a candid and deeply personal journey through addiction, relationships, identity, and recovery.

From growing up in Sunderland to navigating London's nightlife scene, falling in love with Alan Carr, to discovering what it feels like to live besides fame without sharing the spotlight, Paul reflects on the highs, the chaos, and the mistakes that shaped his life.
