ALEX MWAKIDEU CELEBRATES 5-YEAR SOBRIETY JOURNEY

Radio 47 presenter Alex Mwakideu is celebrating a significant personal milestone as he marks five years of sobriety.

In commemorating the significant achievement, Mwakideu reflected on his personal journey, “Kahawa tu! pombe tuliwacha since 2019. My fifth year clean, God is faithful #mysoberlife”

In a past interview, Mwakideu opened up on his life after he quit drinking. Speaking in an interview with Buzz Central’s Cheptoek Boyo, the media personality said quitting drinking helped him manage his spending habits. Mwakideu also noted that it helped him avoid unnecessary dramas in his life. 

“My life has changed a lot because I’m saving more money, I used to go out a lot, I used to say we either party or stay at home. I used to buy alcohol for the owner of the bar, this is his bar, selling alcohol to us and I’m buying alcohol for the owner of the bar, so that is reduced as well. I also got a sober mind and it reduced unnecessary blunders here and there,” he said. 

Mwakideu also spoke about starting his business during the covid pandemic following a salary slash by his employer. “During the covid 19 pandemic, Mediamax slashed half of our salaries, with half a salary there is a lifestyle you’re used to and your family is used to and I’m the head of the family. I had the option to either cut down my lifestyle by half or to look for the other half out there. I decided to go and look for the other half and that’s how I started Pampered Rides,” Mwakideu told Buzz Central.
