Aaaaaa thank you was deep into this one lol

A mate of mine said once in a meeting 'swapping one drug for another is like swapping rooms in the titanic' and it's one of the best analogys I've ever heard.

[@butterfliesandtape]

Great to have you back, Dan and to see you progressing well. I started my journey about a year ago, fell off, got back on, ell off, got back on, etc. So good to feel a bit of solidarity. Love being sober and recognise I might not always be, but that's OK too. Can't thank you enough mate for being there on my journey with me. Proud of ya, brother! Peace x

Been watching this podcast from the beginning. Glad it’s back, puts a lot of things into context for me. Had a rough week nearly said fuck it and caved. 6 months sober today. Day at a time.

[@Partoftheratpack]

These are great. I’m watching a lot and taking so much in.

[@oonaghcleary3645]

Really loved the topic of we are not our thoughts I heard a neuroscientist say our brains will believe the story of who we think we are so it's so important to become mindful of these thoughts and create a different story of who we are thanks Dan great to have you back you make a lot of sense

[@menacetosobrietypodcast]

That makes sense, so so true, im fascinated by it all

Im so glad this channel is back. Thank you 🙏 just making me feel im still human even as an addict. Waiting for help. Im an evening alcoholic and a bud smoker. Im trying, but it's not going great. I do have ADHD myself and feel mad at times 😅 your channel has awesome chats of real life. Im greatfull. You're doing amazing, Dan. I can't wait to see you at the norwich show 😁

Big help this episode. I went just over a year sober and then told myself I didn't have a problem and let drink back in my life. How stupid I was but the journey starts again and these episodes really help

[@menacetosobrietypodcast]

You obviously needed to learn a little more before taking the final step, don't worry about it, look forward not back

[@LDN_BOX]

Glad you’re back, yesterday crossed 11months! So only be fitting that you’ll be one of the first I’ll share my 1yr off the sauce next month message with, as loved the videos and interviews, I even bought the Clare Pooley Sober Diaries book which was a great laugh reading! All the interviews were great! There is definitely very different types of drinkers so good you had such a wide variety of guests on to connect with people whose experience was more like theirs. I have a mate who quit 6months ago whose story was very different to mine as locked himself away with it all, very similar to Kirk but I was defo more in love with being out and social. Plus was a party boy in my time so loved seeing Brandon on as being from the old clubbing days (loved his Fantazia mixes etc), I do feel I’ve done the lot too! Keep it up, you’ve defo helped me and no doubt countless others! Big Up!

[@menacetosobrietypodcast]

Thank you and thanks or the message! yer the variety of the guests was great ill get some more on soon|! thanks for tuning in!

So glad your back dapper this podcast helped me get sober, I've recently had a drink man but I'm back on the wagon now hopefully I can do it again man, is there nay books or anything that helped you get sober?

[@markwhalen4162]

😎it’s crazy I always think it’s just me with these thoughts especially on a Friday when all I want to do is get a beer down me, but the last few weeks I’ve arranged other things with my wife and kids and it’s been great. I’ve been out twice with friends and stayed sober and spoke to them the day after whilst there ruff and it’s been a top feeling that and I’m trying to bottle that feeling and remember that it feels great not being ruff and that outweighs the getting pissed 💯

[@menacetosobrietypodcast]

100 % mate you keep reminding your self how bad it is on the smash

[@Liam-us3cq]

Defo one of the most thought provoking podcasts yet , we are not our thoughts is so true! Also you meeting that man backstage just goes to show the effect your having. Brought back to me the podcast you and Kirk did when i was at one of my lowest points , it really does help change lives! Dont agree with any psychedelics being good for mental health due to past experience but each to their own! Onto next week 👌

[@menacetosobrietypodcast]

Thanks Liam, glad your watching, yer I really like this weeks one

[@kathycurtis4712]

I needed this wanted to watch it live but had plans with friends and I spent all night with my washing machine brain arguing with my self should I drink shouldn’t I drink…I didn’t and I’m 95 days sober today. I’ll be watching every week now to give me a boost thank you

💯 right in my opinion too.... if u replace one drug for another drug it's still escapism.. I agree what u say about the guy that's moved on to weed... one step at a time I guess 🤷

Yer defo, one step at a time

[@craigjob6932]

Your so right about weed I used weed to get off packet ive now gone 20 days off weed and loving it been off packet for over 18 months don't even think of packet anymore

[@menacetosobrietypodcast]

Very good, its better then packet 100%

[@babybluecheeks]

The scariest thing for me about being sober is the thought of relapsing, I try not to focus on it as it's not healthy, but the thought or fecking up scares me to the core. I got sober for the first time last year, I managed 3 months. I relapsed for 1yr, in and out of A&E with withdrawals, nearly dying from drinking so much, and then I managed to get sober again 113 days ago, and it's different this time, I thought the first time around I would never go back to drinking and then I did, so this time around knowing that I can relapse is better, but it's so scary. But life is very good, I'm happy, I'm healthy, my sons are happy and proud. I'm moving forward in life and doing good things. This podcast helps remind me that others are literally dealing with the exact same thought, mental isn't it.

[@menacetosobrietypodcast]

Hi, I had that very same experience without the hospital, things went so so bad when I went back to drink. some times we need to see how bad it is till it gets better.
