The King Cheerleader of Sobriety with ‘Better Life Guy’ Matt Pink

[@allycameron8086]

4 years and 2 months free from alcohol. At now 47. Best decision I ever made.

[@gregp1707]

I think every dad would have welled up at thinking of life without their kids. I know I did. Thank you for these podcasts! I’m 52 days sober and it’s really helping me stay focussed

[@menacetosobrietypodcast]

Thank you mate and well done to ya!

[@Beerpopnana]

Good on you Greg! Well done Mate👍

[@ibexdnb2879]

Yes Greg! Get in there. Keep it up.

Dan you're changing lives with these podcasts bruv. I've not been an addict since 2003 but the temptation is still there after a few pints with the boys even after 20 years. Slipped up a few times as you can imagine but your material is exceptional. Just down to earth, say it how it is, real man talk. It's helped me come to terms with what I've been through all these years. All the side effects and emotional rollercoaster rides class A's gave me made me think I was weaker than everyone else but these shows made me realise that most of us go through the similar pain behind closed doors. You're a legend mate and have my highest respect for doing something so radical 😎❤️

[@menacetosobrietypodcast]

mATE, THANKS FOR THAT, SUCH A KIND THING TO DO TO TAKE THE TIME TO SAY ALL THAT Sorry caps lock lol, and I love how you say you've not been an addict since,.... I like that thinking I hate the idea of saying you're still an ADDICT SO IM GOING TO TAKE THAT WITH ME. dam caps lock lol

[@retrodnb]

Yeah mate it's definitely 100% possible to break that cycle of addition, for me it was getting on the mdma and pills. I was taking them at least once a week for 2-3 years back in the early 2000s. The psychological addiction was intense but the depression and anxiety caught up with me and I was out of the clubbing scene for 5 years slowly recovering. The only way I could stop was to cut social contact with the boys that were bang on it. But I missed it every day but it does definitely get easier mate if you find something to replace it with, you've got your kids and they will 100% keep you happy forever! ❤️ I still miss the old times getting fucked up loads but my willpower only disappears when I've had a few drinks, even now it can be a struggle in certain environments. You've taught me and no doubt so many others that mindset is everything, you've inspired me to train myself that I'm not missing out anymore and instead I'm free and the benefits of being sober no doubt far outweigh the good times I might be missing. Everyone remember that point, it's so important and your progress to that goal is always sacred. Think the 35 - 45 age group suffer the most especially for us lot that used to do drugs, because it amplifies the mid life crisis 100 times, we've got genuine amazing memories to want to be young again for even with all the suffering we used to go through. But we'll get through it mate! And the music.... UK Garage, D'n'B..... anyone that used to be into that music feel like they're buzzing just hearing an old tune! This shit is so real for so many of us!

Ah man 18mins on when Matt was talking about his son really really got to me. Stood at work crying. God bless his soul and god bless Matt too. No one deserves to go through that. Loving these podcasts Dan 👏🏼

[@menacetosobrietypodcast]

Glad you’re enjoying the podcasts mate!

[@harrisonjamesheath]

@@menacetosobrietypodcast they’re brilliant mate, watched every minute of every one. I don’t relate to them in addiction terms but it’s so good to see what people with these kinds of issues go through and even better to see them tell everyone about how they came through it. 🙌🏻

[@regan1997]

I am 25 years old and I abused alcohol since 19. I nearly lost everything and got liver damage. I stopped drinking on the 16th April 2020. Nearly 3 years sober and I have gained a lot, I got a stable relationship and living together, I have a stable job and my family are proud of how far I have come. I still have the occasional thoughts about drinking again but I know what that would do, that will always be with me but I know I am strong enough not to pick up a drink, there is only misery at the end of that glass. These podcasts are so relatable, amazing job Dan!!

[@menacetosobrietypodcast]

Well done on the 3 years mate. Thank you for your kind words ❤️

[@Beerpopnana]

Agreed!

[@Monty-xs7hp]

Finally xomeone bringing to light what I was going through a couple of years ago. 2 years sober now and wouldn't have any other way.

I relate to this so much!!! So powerful! One of my favourites this one! I found spirituality and my gosh the universe does serve you when you make the right choices, I have experienced this first hand. Thanks again for another AMAZING podcast! It also relates to Robert Hisse with the visualisation and RAS system, it's all part of the universes magic! It all connects, when you stop blocking your alignment with booze and drugs etc it's like lifting the wool from your eyes..life is beautiful now xxx

Can I ask. Anyone that's lost everything in their trauma, addiction, been able to rebuild? And does it get easier or better? I'm struggling to keep looking forward to a better life and am hoping to hear from others and their experiences.

Matt did, very good question hope you get some replies

Don’t be looking forward Keep It In The Day mate tomorrow is not promised and I can assure you you can get some normality of life back try and get back into work if you can because it really helps with the overthinking 👍🙏🏻

@StevieMc cheers mate. Getting back to work has been an interesting one. Gained and lost a couple already this year, but it seems I'm not ready to go there just yet. So focusing as you said, day by day at the moment

[@jd32k]

@@menacetosobrietypodcast cheers for the bump on comment. Super keen to maybe hear in depth from a guest as to how they got their lives back after losing everything

[@jd32k]

@Rob Gifkins exercise has been so key mate. Running daily. A lot. And about to get a surf ski and get out into the water. It's interesting when the world seems to be at full pace, everyone's rushing for work etc. But In my own moment, things are so broken down to be doing such simple tasks, and slowly integrating more and more each week, month.
