The Constant Chaos That Made Me Keep Drinking: Preston from Ordinary Boys

The Constant Chaos That Made Me Keep Drinking: Preston from Ordinary Boys

Musician and songwriter Preston sits down with Matt to explore fame, addiction, and the long road back to himself.


Preston shares how a four-storey fall from a hotel balcony in Denmark led to months in a wheelchair, an OxyContin prescription, and a private battle with addiction. He also reflects on the pressures of sudden fame after Celebrity Big Brother, being prescribed Prozac at 14, and trying to find his place in an industry he never expected to be part of.


Now 44, Preston talks about making peace with his past after years spent trying to outrun it. He shares how recovery, music, and self-acceptance have helped him rediscover joy in what he calls the happiest and most creative chapter of his life.


This episode explores Addiction, Recovery, Mental Health, Fame & Identity, and Self-Acceptance.
