Almost 6 months sober from alcohol because at 30, I said enough was enough.... Have an amazing woman now, my mood is amazing, I laugh more, I have a lot of friends, I don't feel like sh*t, good job, etc. I LOVE being alive, sober and life is just getting better by the damn week, not matter the ups and downs. I love dealing with my emotions without drowning my self pity life with booze.

Beautiful. I am glad I saw this. Today is day 1.

I gave up drinking last year following a miscarriage and seriously bad depression, i gave up whilst watching your videos all the time, 3 months in i managed to conceive again, i just gave birth 8 weeks ago to our babt girl. I attribute being able to conceive successfully to going sober. Im out the other side of pregnancy still intending to continue my sobriety. Thank you for all you do, it helps so much, i have my girl and i can be better mother staying sober thanks to sobriety. (I also have adhd!)

Please consider AA. The program gives you so much support and hope. You are not alone when you practice the 12 steps.

It’s a superpower and luxury.

Im watching this to inspire me to get sober day 1 and its always a battle. But hopefully it will get better and better. I can tell my habits are hurting me.

Refreshing to hear someone speak about alcohol in a rational, scientific, common sense way. AA may help some, but turns off many. Appreciated the guest and host. Good back and forth. Hello from Arizona.

Is this Antonio?

Just watched this and ordered the book mate. Thank you.

Love these videos I just found this. I am 1 month clean now just starting my journey. This is hard this stuff all meeting and book work help so thank you ❤🙌

One knows they’re getting addicted when one day after another keeps passing by and every day you tell yourself I’m not gonna buy a bag tonight and then you buy a bag that night and then you say to yourself this well is the last night tonight I know tomorrow I’m not going to and then tomorrow comes and a person buys another bag that’s when you start to realize that the addiction is subconsciously controlling your behaviors.

Sober Dave is my Favorite ❤ very relatable , and good story telling and positive Dave ,Thank you Sober Dave ❤❤

Like a bunch of Wankers

i want to change ive become.someone whos not me... i have a lovley woman whos my rock my best friend a lovley sister n family i want to turn this around any advice?

The problem with alcohol is that it's all fun and games for years until it creeps up on you and you find it's not fun anymore. It has crept up on you slowly. You can't quite believe you have a drink problem because society tells us that alcoholics are those that, on waking in the morning, have to have a drink. Therefore we believe that we are not like them. However, we are. Just in a myriad of different ways.

Well said Dan

Thank you! What a brilliant video! I had been heavily drinking and smoking for 50 years, totally addicted. Now free for one month. (I know that's not long but for me is good!) Just wanted to say I have watched hundreds of you tube videos on the subject made by professionals and ex addicts which I have found helpful. However, you are the only one to explain in a way that totally resonates with me. Massive help for my life - thank you again!!!

Brilliant podcast this puts a lot of things in to perspective… think ye having a bad time but when you have a problem that money can’t fix money means fuck all I love money I love nipping a few quid it gives me a kick but fuck me some people out there especially some kids having it rough I need to pull my finger out and give a helping hand somewhere ❤

(On my wife's account) Eddie helped me so much its hard to put into words. She took me in when everyone else gave up. Gave me a chance. Let me be myself. Didn't judge. Didn't shame me. Gave me a safe space for me to live after 3 months of treatment and consistent groups and therapy sessions. I did 6 months in ADAPT Oxford and it was the best thing I ever did. When I was clean I met a woman and am now married and have 2 sons. Unfortunately I'm writing this as I'm heading to work, with no sleep, fueled my vodka and Cocaine, the worst part is that no-one understands what I am going through, all I get is shouting and looks of disgust, but what Oxford ADAPT gave me was a safe space, to be myself, to cry, to laugh, to live, to try my hardest with the best support, i owe my life to this woman. Xxxxx

What's happened to this podcast?

Yes this is the information the youth need to here started when I was 17 now I'm 20 and I'm off it 7 months after overdosing very big scare to me and I thought it wasn't addicting until its was nearly too late please take this message with care people you really don't need it ❤❤

У меня тоже была проблема с алкогольной зависимостью! Я пробовала разные методы чтоб освободиться от этого! Но всё помогало только на время! Тогда мне стало по настоящему страшно! Я обратилась к Богу! Я сказала если Бог ты мне не поможешь,то мне хана, конец! И Бог помог мне и освободил от этой зависимости! Как написано в библии: Кого Иисус освободит,тот истинно свободен будет! И вот уже 27 лет как я живу в свободе,и радуюсь жизни! Слава Иисусу Христу! Пусть Господь благословит ваши передачи,и как можно больше людей получат свободу лт алкогольной зависимости!😇🙏❤️

One glass of wine sent me to a relapse that ended me up on hard drugs and almost 13 years of a downward spiral. Resulting in the loss of everything I build in the seven years i was sober, plus some. It’s gets worse and worse each relapse, don’t test your luck thinking only one is a good idea. Don’t do it, friend. You’re not invincible to what this disease can do if you give it half n inch

I lost my brother when he was 27( 2 years ago ) and I was 24 I can say he most likely did that thinking he was doing g people a favour? no one cares about me? having these thoughts in his head that CATEGORICALLY weren’t true. I can’t even make sense of my brother having these thoughts to this day we was caught very off guard. My brothers funeral ( I even hate saying that ) was PACKED. Over 300 people there and he took his life feeling ALONE or hopeless It breaks my heart to think. You’re not alone. People DO care. YOU NEED to open UP and F off feeling a burden. We were best friends me and my big brother he was 3 years older than me. Me and him went to eachother over EVERYTHING. HE WAS BASICALLY SOUND HAD MY BACK. The last week of my brother life (first time I ever did this)he was pissing me off for a silly reason looking back but I was giving him tough love. He was going through a little bit of a stressful time in his personal life to do with his relationship I thought he would benefit from me giving him tough love and no one had a clue he was suicidal oh my god he weren’t depressed on anti depressant or any sort he was the life of the party the one always smiling the back bone of our family good looking lad decent car had a girlfriend good job he was basically the light of the party everyone loved him. it was unbelievably shocking THE ONE TIME I DID THIS WITH THE TOUGH LOVE HE DONE THAT. I can’t get over losing my brother best friend confidant but it was left on not a great note and that was unusual for us. I’m saying this because I’ve learnt from that mistake and I hope I can help people with this and hopefully people don’t judge me because it’s very hard to cope with and get on with. Don’t leave things on a bad note because omg 😢😢 the pain. I feel guilt over that every day. It’s honestly genuinely hard to cope with. So if you haven’t seen the video with paddy the baddy it will always stick in my head what he said at the end of one of his fight he says I had to attend one of my good friends funeral this week and he took his life basically if you feel this shit pick the phone up. He went on to say WHY DIDNT HE CALL ME AND SPEAK TO ME? I would have happily took a phone call THAN ATTEND HIS FUNERAL. So yeah if I can add anything to this raw, honest, respectable conversation it is that. I ask my self questions every day. And I have NO answers. Please speak up if you feel suicidal and alone. I miss you so much Ryan as does everyone else you’ll never walk alone ❤

Stopped in 1996?, does he mean 2006?

That's insane,

One youtuber talked about how his mom used to drink a whole 24 pack of beer after work. He asked her if it would be weird if he drank a 24 pack of water in 3-4 hours, it's a good point

Saying you're helpless and can't control it just isn't true. I was on it for years and got off it on my own. Took a good few attempts before I was well and truly away from it but you are not helpless by any stretch of the imagination

Excess is not abundance

6 months clean in a rehab relapsed plenty of times. I now Moved to a different city still had a few wobbles but I picked myself up focusing on keeping fit praying to god building a healthy income and becoming the best version of myself by letting go of the past letting life unfold

Remember this: addiction is giving up EVERYTHING for ONE THING. freedom is giving up ONE thing for EVERYTHING

❤

this was great. havent heard the topic discussed with this much honesty and realness

drinking alcohol gives you depresssion and you try to put your head in the sand as an animal just to relax but for me it doesn't work. It givesme dark thoughts. I dont know how dad use to drink to relax

Christain fellowship England

I hear that brother!! Touched a nerve that did

Life sucks better sober kids. I promise

Soooo good! Thank you Harry for sharing your story, such an achievement for someone so young 👏

Get the podcasts going again Dappa. You back to drinking?

What a great video, fantastic and very useful information. I am 29 months free from cannabis addiction, because of SMART Recovery, and CGL (Change grow live) I am now a SMART Facilitator myself since January 2024, the tools have helped me tremendously in day to day life, snd now volunteering for CGL as a Facilitator I have found purpose again in life, and helping others with addiction recovery is so rewarding. I came to this video because of an email from SMART mentioning Brandon working with SMART Keep up the great work Brandon what a true inspiration and humble gent you are. Thank you
