    Looking really well, you can see the 8 months in your skin and eyes 👊
    I did 4 years sober in my thirties then screwed up and drank for a few years. Trying again now and on the right path. Never get complacent !

    I’m trying the alcohol free beer. But I find it best to drink freedamn alcohol free beer. I’m coming up 7 weekends of no gear.

    Your internal voice with your triggers I swear that voice is exactly what I hear too! Especially with the sun or smelling bbq smoke or walking past a busy pub in summer. The sesh gremlin lerks within! 😐😵‍💫👹👾

    Feedback: brilliant !! Keep doing the vids mate. You’ve helped me so much. I resonate with it all. First had puff at 14, then been drinking, packet etc etc 1-2 (sometimes 3) times a week since. I’m 49 this year. But now clean for 6 months 3 days. Doing gym 3 times a week now and loving it. I feel like I’ve got a mate doing it with me watching your videos. Cheers mate !!! No pressure 😂🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

    Glad I found your channel!
    Deciding to go sober after having way too much the weekend. I obviously got way too excited and did not want the party to end. But then I embarrassed myself and have been cringing for days.
    So now, I’m finally deciding to knock it on the head as it isn’t serving me anymore. Gonna take it one day at a time and keep reminding myself of the reasons why I’m quitting.
    Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s really helpful!!!

    Great podcast mate. Thanks. Just done over 2 months sober myself and as you say, sobriety gives you everything that alcohol promised but failed to deliver. My mental health has improved vastly. I'm actually happy. Also, I'm going to meetings and that has helped me beyond words. Good luck to everyone who decides to make this change.

    Dopamine Nation by Dr Annie Lembke is highly recommended. I also read “The subtle art of not giving a f*ck” which surprisingly helped me a lot when trying to knock the packet on the head.
    PS I went to Glastonbury at the weekend and not a grain of packet passed these nostrils. Had the best weekend

Got booze in the house but I just know I’ve committed. I’m 100% done with it. Day 36. Gotta keeping grafting. These pods are part of my structure so thank you Dan 👍

    You're right about anxiety before getting on it, I would get heaves like an hour before I know I'm gonna get on it. I would get on it on my own at an old man pub like a weirdo.

I am now 105 days sober and your podcasts help me immensely. These were great tips and a lot that I use but you've also motivated me to push them just that little bit harder especially situations we feel uncomfortable with so please don't feel insecure about these podcasts you are helping thousands of people

    Your podcasts help me understand and support my Husband. I struggle watching him and with the fallout afterwards.
    I would love you to do a vid with Shelly to get her perspective and for her to be open in how she has coped. Im 20yrs deep, sometimes I feel like throwin towel in but remember he's a good person and all the reasons why we have stopped together so long.
    You're doin amazing Dan, can't wait to see you on tour. Tickets booked!

  • @rakmakisgod
    @rakmakisgod Год назад +2

    I've been sober for 7 months now. I started listening to your pod on week 1 of being sober. I could relate so much to you and your guest and just listening to the different stories of Sobriety helped me to get to where I am today. Honestly, it's changed my life - I'm not depressed anymore, I have the get-up-and-go, and I want to spend more time with my family. I still go out to the pub and the lads I go football with still get on it around me, but I'm in a place where people respect and support my choice of being sober. I got to say Non-alcoholic beer has allowed me to still socialise in a pub and feel like I'm still a part of the group. Once you're in it, it's easy to keep going. Keep it up guys!

So I caved but I know now alcohol is my trigger. Thanks for the book recommendations I ordered no more hangovers! Well done and keep it up x

    I’m a binger and I often think what life would be like without it, or what I would be like had I never drank. I know the answer is probably massively different. Had some good times but adapting to life without booze takes some doing. Respect to anyone who manages it 👍

    Another great video mate! I find having a non alcoholic beer or cider is a great help! Even though it it shouldn't matter i find it helps going out when people see you with a drink in your hand. I'm finding taking to girls on a night out sober is massive confidence builder - i'm not waking feeling like shit and losing all my confidence from the night before, i'm actually bringing it with me and thats great feeling. Can't wait to see you live!

    Your seriously making my decision to follow you in sobriety,ive always felt i needed the packet and beer to fit in and be the main entertainment which i was good at and it felt good,yes it was always mental and a good laugh,but theres a very strange way over here in England,im irish and living here over 12 years and ive found that being 30,40,50 even 60 over here everyone feels and acts young like there in there 20s...back home if your 30 your expected to have your own house,car, wife and kids
    But here in london i landed to a serious mash up boyyyyyyy i knew a man of 50yrs of age waiting for his mum to pay his phone bill so he can call it on....
    Chazza will vow for that, hes a boy Chaz and hes thriving now fair fucking play,how you control yourself is amazing.think of your wife and kids,im trying but its hard..

    Hi Dan, been listening to the podcast on Spotify, i have been able to relate to many of the guests and yourself. Once you get through the looking glass of our British drink and drug culture it seems crazy, I look back on me drinking heavily since 16 in pubs, getting hammered and stumbling home barely able to walk from the club, cringe worthy really, then later the drugs come in (which got pretty bad...), chatting nonsense all night, being a dick, becoming weirder each time, mental health getting really bad, seems crazy I only just stopped all this stuff at 35!? Just curious, do you read any fiction or just read non fiction about health, mental health and sobriety etc?? Thanks again, Charles
