I couldn't agree more, I have listened to hundreds of hours of discussions like this and that comment couldn't have been more profound 👏🙌that comment is going straight into the bank of wisdom
(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.

68 days sober today 🙏 odaat. It wouldn’t have been possible without these weekly uploads! Looking forward to menace to sobriety live. See you Wednesday 😊💙
119 days sober today, listening to the podcast every week to check in. This is one of the realest so far but shows you’re never that far away from slipping down the slippery slope. Keep it up and we’ll keep supporting!
I think every time Dan breaks down we all want to be there to give him a hug and say it’s all good mate, we got you. It’s also very brave and admirable to see him let go and be as real as it gets. This is yet another powerful, valuable episode and this podcast is building a very important community that will help a lot of people…keep doing what you’re doing lads ❤🙏
Oh thank you so much Danni I really appreciate it although it can be a little bit tricky for me sometimes in that room I’m really feeling the growth and when I get upset it just means I’m coming to terms with Eva things I’ve pushed down or stuff I’m trying to rectify thank you for your comment
@@menacetosobrietypodcast Anytime mate and never hold back, we all get closer to you in those moments and it’s very inspiring to see your growth…you’re smashing it ❤️👊
Loved this guys, this is what addiction/recovery is all about. I’m in GA and just got my 4 year pin last week. This podcast has given me a new perspective on addictions and how to to try and live my life properly now. Keep up the good work, you will making a difference 🤝
Needed this today, 4.5 years clean and sober however since becoming a father, dealing with life, lack of sleep, I’ve been struggling more than I usually do! Thanks guys 🙌❤️
@@25111425 amazing work mate! Don’t get me wrong without my sobriety I couldn’t be a father, but my mental strength is so much weaker with the lack of sleep, also being so mentally alert without a self care hour here and there has been difficult
@@rjworldsportsnews it’s definitely a new level of challenge to recovery! Had to find extra strength against the addictions! Well done on your 3 years and massive congrats on the new born! ❤️
Listened to this a n Spotify and had to come and comment. This woman is incredible, I am praying for her, her family and everything she does. What a amazing human she is.
100-percent. I can't believe this woman is out there my sister as just made me aware of her n all I can say is thank u 4 everything u do n everyone u help I need help so bad I'm so lost can't get d help nowhere so this lady seems like a god send I just hope I can find her I've called d number on d website so hopefully they will get back to me 🤞🏼 this site is beautiful thanks guys ☘️💚☘️
There is alot of people out there who do not fill the criteria to get the right help.. Many cannot afford to privately. Good on this channel for offering advice. Help and hope. Thanks Dan and kirk.
Really great podcast and amazing woman. Would of liked to of heard more of her story when relapsing as a single parent with 2 kids. I’m nearly 1000 days sober a single mum to 3 kids and addiction when you are the only person your children have with nobody to step in is crippling and then trying to get sober with no childcare etc is so difficult. I used to feel very resentful to men in the rooms that they could use knowing their children were taken care of safe and away from seeing any using and chaos and then come and be a dad when they stopped or were clean for a few days. The damage I have caused to my kids through my using i am so ashamed of and struggle to forgive myself for that.
I will get it back on and we will hear more from her thank you so much for commenting and try not to look back so much look forward and look at how you turn things around
u should be so proud of urself plz always remember ur worth u must mean the world to ur kids plz stay strong. I'm having d worst times ever n im at d bottom I look up 2 people like urself u have so much 2 give!! 🤗☘️
I listened to this over Spotify on Friday while working. By far the best podcast to date. Dan man your smashing this. Can see and hear how much this affects you and how close to the bone it is. Kirk your knowledge and expertise holding conversation is second to none in these interviews. A valuable part of this podcast. Love what you're doing.
So powerful. How we love our addicts (a family member in my case) to our own detriment. You know they're a good person underneath and will try anything to not fail them. What an incredible woman; I hope her and ADAPT get all of the recognition and support they deserve. Well done Dan, Kirk and the team for the only relatable podcast out there.
Agree with everything you’ve said there about loving an addict because you see and know the goodness when they are not using ❤️ thank you for tuning in to my story.. Kirk and Dan are beautiful people xxx
It's great that they have got you on the podcast: from a totally different background and being a woman, showing that addiction knows no boundaries and the power of co-dependency. Thank you for your raw honesty and vunerability, it will help so many people. Please could you tell me how we can donate to ADAPT x @@EddieC174
I frigging love this podcast. You can't knock Dan or kirk......one year 4 days clean of the H and C for me. I LOVE how authentic and real conversations are had here. This is literally the best podcast if you want to have these conversations 🙌
I swear this woman described my life. I have such an issue with over eating. I eat when I’m sad I eat when I’m happy. Since I’ve got sober I’ve noticed more and more all the things I was running from. Self esteem. No self worth. Always feeling that everyone is better than me and I can honestly say the only thing that helps is hard training. As for the eating I’m still battling it. I’ve been dieting for over a year and every Monday I start again and by the Wednesday I’ve failed time and time again. Such a horrible addiction.
Amazing insight -- I love the way Kirk interacts and interviews.. he should be a great therapist… I said this before. It it’s home to me … the way he connects and listen …
What a woman!! Eddie is one of the most beautiful lady's inside and out. Done a lot for me and never forgot how much of a laugh we had but at the same time made me learn alot about myself never forgot how much this woman done for me❤
Thank you for sharing your story Eddie x great having a woman on and like Kirk mentioned from a different background. The work and help you do is amazing ❤
Dan and Kirk you are saving lives and your kids are lucky to have such quality dads. Quality people are flawed because we are empathic and deal with too much. Yes I said we I am one of you
Just started my sober journey going back through all your podcasts keep it up you two don’t realise how much it’s helping me look at my own life realising my rock bottom and not standing it for it anymore cheers lads big respect from Essex
@@menacetosobrietypodcast cheers currently away for the week with my kids and mrs no drink away from the gear and for the first time appreciating my children feeling fresh and actually looking forward to the future got to say it again massive thanks lads owe this week to you
About the Benzocaine that Kirk was saying - I’ve done that before and when I used to run out at home and couldn’t get anymore or was waiting - I’d have ounces of pure caffeine powder just to sniff - no buzz all it did was keep me awake and was very bitter tasting powder but I still did it just cos I wanted to chase any buzz or high and use powder and had run out
What I'm hearing on this podcast is so normal to my years it's crazy I took drugs to a different level for the past two years and the jurny they took me through is unexplainable I stand by there is a balance they saved my life and they destroyed my body and now i want to tell my story without getting my self into trouble any advice don't think I can move on until i share my experience but we'll done guys been watching you and relate to most of your experiences
@@EddieC174 I went from dry sniffing cocaine and a few deaths in my family since covid sent me down the crack & heroin route. It's a dark dark world as you know. It was a great pleasure listening to your story knowing I ain't alone. Keep up the big fight your fighting Eddie ❤️
What you talked about being in and out of recovery - It's horrendous - the push and pull and 'I'll just have one no one will know'. I'm Sober ODAAT. Thank you for this
This was a really good episode, eddie was so honest and dan and kirk smashing it as per usual, great decision adding kirk to the podcast. My mum and dad were addicted to the same substances while i was growing up, so it was easy to relate to this episode. Looking forward to the live one wednesday guys 💙
Hey everybody I just wanted to let you all know that I’m going into treatment on Thursday for detox/rehab and it’s gonna be the 16th rehab I’ve done!! Getting clean and doing the daily structure in treatment, groups, one to one’s, therapeutic duties etc (for me) is easy and I thrive in there as my knowledge of addiction and recovery the program the recovery language etc I know inside out as I’ve been in the fellowship for 12 years and all the rehabs and step work allows me to be very comfortable!! Not the detox obviously they’re fucking horrendous but nothing I haven’t done a hundred times before!!! Keep up the good work guys I admire you both and obviously Eddie too as if you haven’t guessed I’m (Eddie’s steve and the father to put kids) xx
First one of your episodes I have watched. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I found it so interesting as a non addict to learn more about this. Well done to Eddie ❤️
I've loved all your content especially since Kirk got on board, but this one hit especially hard. Having loved and lost a number of addicts. Most of my circle went down with heroin in the 90s, 3 close suicides within 10 months at that time. Your stories are all so different its beautiful what you’re doing here. Please have Eddie back so she can tell more of her story its dark but so powerful and inspiring. So much love for you 2 guys and everyone involved
Thank you very much for your comment yes I definitely will be getting her back and maybe I’ll ask for a partner to come onto if he will but she said she had lots of a story left a tail but just not enough time
What a podcast 👏 really powerful stuff. It's mad the journey people have to go thru 😢 very brave strong lady. Massive respect to her and both of you, Dan and Kirk. You are both brilliant dads 💚
@@EddieC174 you have no idea how powerful you are with your experience from all aspects of addiction and being a mum too. Im forever your cheerleader ❤️
Another great episode 💚 thanks for sharing. Really interesting to hear Eddie’s story and shows it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, drink and drugs can get any of us at anytime. Amazing work Eddie is doing, dealing with her own journey and recovery and running the dry houses trying to help as many people as possible 💚💚💚
Thank you so much, my recovery journey has been a very humbling experience and I wished I had longer to share about my relapse and the impact using has had on my children ❤️ so not to make others feel so alone xx
@@EddieC174 Honestly hands down the best podcast yet. Really relatable and had my attention from the get go. Would love to help out and get involved as I’m now sober myself. To answer your question, I’m not or haven’t been to recovery but probably should have done. I’m clean now and have been for 3 years apart from a one off moment of madness when my son was born. If I can help out in anyway let me know I’m probably only around the corner. Thanks for replying 😊
What a powerful powerful interview….. that woman is truly a wonderment. Please please can I have her details to contact her… I feel Kirk is in a lot of pain …. Triggering. I think … Dan you are changing and saving lives mate
First off - absolutely love your content mate, it's really helped me. Just a small point around Mkat (Mephedrone), it is incorrect to say it is plant food. MKat was marketed as plant food purely because it was illegal to sell for human consumption, at no point has it ever been used as plant food. As a comparison, for example, mustard seed oil is illegal to sell for consumption in the UK due to carcinogenic risks, though it is popular in Asian cooking, you will often find it in Asian supermarkets marketed as 'massage oil', though it absolutely is not massage oil, this is just the only way it can be sold. So Mkat, although marketed as plant food, absolutely wasn't plant food, it was just another chemical high being sold as such.
Brilliant interview Eddy is a Rock amazing amazing woman ,Dan true words it's society that just makes it OK its sad that it's become acceptable, I was lucky not an addict to drugs nor drink , it's sad it's only seen as an issue when their lives fall apart ,,
I agree they do ,it's what is needed real talk ,the devastation of it to all around it affects everyone, iv been the girlfriend who couldn't cope with it .... but u try cos u love ,Eddie u went above and beyond wow to helping so many ,your method should be all over the UK,,,, pity the government don't help what in some ways they helped create , people need to feel they are worthy and give meaning to a life they feel they destroyed....they haven't yet !!! Most can't even give answers to why they take it it helps get into the party mood..... I don't get it cos it we are now in our 50s ... if u need help to get in party mood and drink doesn't do it ,,it means u just be past it I accept that but a glass works for me , it's quite bad
Social services were my rock bottom at new yr. My ex had drug induced psychosis tearing the house up looking for who he thought was in the house n i had to phone the police. Scared the life out me and iv been clean since thankfully ❤
What Eddie does is the future. I feel like the only way to alleviate drug use it to decriminalise certain recreational drugs and regulate the market so only the cleanest versions of the drugs are avaialble and taxed and invest in things such as what Eddie does. Let's face it there will always be drugs in society so we might as well manage it rather than leave it in the hands of shady markets.
She also slept with at least one person under her care and bought him crack, having one of the other tenants pick him up absolutely funked out his head. Her exact words was 'he just needs a pipe, he's alright once he's had a pipe' whilst he rolling round the floor funked. True story. I was there.
There are places you can go to get clean that are free but most people don’t know about them. I got clean in an amazing Christian rehab called Betel UK and have been clean 5 years next month. There’s no time limit on how long you stay either like there is in other treatment centres.
Yes, adapt take people who have been to betel. There is no therapy and it’s old school Christian based rehab so a very different concept. I appreciate it works for some but I’d not somewhere I’d recommend
I was sent to a detox centre for a month that cost £8k, but I got it free through my clinic. I was coming off methadone, but they even sent someone there for weed, which seems absurd. If you need treatment and rehab is what you want, go to a drug clinic and register, then after a while just badger them to look into it. If you don’t ask, you don’t get.
I know Eddie and been to adapt it's great but unfortunately I just wasn't ready I've recently come out of prison for the 3rd time and started using again every chance I get but wouldn't be able to go back to adapt due to bad memories of my last relapse and becoming homeless
What she said may sound so simple but yet it was still so powerful, "If u wanna find out why your using drugs, stop using drugs"... love that! Xx
I couldn't agree more, I have listened to hundreds of hours of discussions like this and that comment couldn't have been more profound 👏🙌that comment is going straight into the bank of wisdom
I know that really really struck a chord with me to this episode has been so insightful thanks for watching

3years tomorrow no alcohol no Charles 😊
Good on ya lad

Thank you so much
There are no words that do this podcast justice. Edwina you are a fucking powerhouse. Incredible woman ❤
Oh wow. Thank you so much. I’m blown away by the response from my story. Hopefully one day I can finish it 😊
@@EddieC174 you have no idea how powerful you are with your experience from all aspects of addiction and being a mum too. Im forever your cheerleader ❤️
@@vickiwest9791🎉❤🎉 spread the word, get everyone on menace to sobriety
To see the emotion in dan when he remembers his relapse when his children where born. Dan you are THE TRUTH lad... 💪💙
This one hit hard guys ❤ amazing and needs to be heard but yeah crying along with you xx
Another great episode 💚 thanks for sharing. Really interesting to hear Eddie’s story and shows it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, drink and drugs can get any of us at anytime. Amazing work Eddie is doing, dealing with her own journey and recovery and running the dry houses trying to help as many people as possible 💚💚💚
Thank you so much, my recovery journey has been a very humbling experience and I wished I had longer to share about my relapse and the impact using has had on my children ❤️ so not to make others feel so alone xx

Nice one guys love Eddie she’s an inspiration keep going girl ❤
❤️❤️ thank you
@@EddieC174 thank you for sharing ! I really hope Steve gets properly well best wishes 🙏
Respect Eddie I’m from Oxford and it’s bad round here for recovery
Are you in recovery? Thanks for tuning in. It’s good now in Oxford recovery wise but homelessness is still a problem
@@EddieC174 Honestly hands down the best podcast yet. Really relatable and had my attention from the get go. Would love to help out and get involved as I’m now sober myself. To answer your question, I’m not or haven’t been to recovery but probably should have done. I’m clean now and have been for 3 years apart from a one off moment of madness when my son was born. If I can help out in anyway let me know I’m probably only around the corner. Thanks for replying 😊
This was the best one yet. Amazing story 👍
Watched this last night hope your all doing well ❤
Great one guys. Powerfull story and great insights from both.
❤
I have had heart attack and now cancer but we could not havev dealt with this if not for Eddie 😢❤
What a women! Fantastic episode ❤
Keep up the great work guys 🙏
In Adapt myself Eddie is amazing. The whole place is ❤
Great podcast really touching
What a powerful powerful interview….. that woman is truly a wonderment. Please please can I have her details to contact her… I feel Kirk is in a lot of pain …. Triggering. I think … Dan you are changing and saving lives mate
How can I help Maggie? Xx
@@EddieC174 I just loved your story… and the honesty.. so much humility… can I have your private email .x
Best one yet imo 👌🏼
Love this ❤️
First off - absolutely love your content mate, it's really helped me.
Just a small point around Mkat (Mephedrone), it is incorrect to say it is plant food.
MKat was marketed as plant food purely because it was illegal to sell for human consumption, at no point has it ever been used as plant food.
As a comparison, for example, mustard seed oil is illegal to sell for consumption in the UK due to carcinogenic risks, though it is popular in Asian cooking, you will often find it in Asian supermarkets marketed as 'massage oil', though it absolutely is not massage oil, this is just the only way it can be sold.
So Mkat, although marketed as plant food, absolutely wasn't plant food, it was just another chemical high being sold as such.
Love the show, struggling myself at the minute, can't seem to get any help , gotta wait months , don't think I've got months left
Have you contacted ADAPT in Oxford?
Omg Eddie...been there, done that, got the T shirt! I wish you well... ❤
Thank you ❤
Great podcast everyone
Brilliant interview Eddy is a Rock amazing amazing woman ,Dan true words it's society that just makes it OK its sad that it's become acceptable, I was lucky not an addict to drugs nor drink , it's sad it's only seen as an issue when their lives fall apart ,,
Thank you ❤ it’s a great podcast, Dan and Kirk work well together
I agree they do ,it's what is needed real talk ,the devastation of it to all around it affects everyone, iv been the girlfriend who couldn't cope with it .... but u try cos u love ,Eddie u went above and beyond wow to helping so many ,your method should be all over the UK,,,, pity the government don't help what in some ways they helped create , people need to feel they are worthy and give meaning to a life they feel they destroyed....they haven't yet !!! Most can't even give answers to why they take it it helps get into the party mood..... I don't get it cos it we are now in our 50s ... if u need help to get in party mood and drink doesn't do it ,,it means u just be past it I accept that but a glass works for me , it's quite bad
Keep this going please! This really is necessary.
What an amazing podcast.eddie is so inspiring
Thank you xx
Social services were my rock bottom at new yr. My ex had drug induced psychosis tearing the house up looking for who he thought was in the house n i had to phone the police. Scared the life out me and iv been clean since thankfully ❤
What Eddie does is the future. I feel like the only way to alleviate drug use it to decriminalise certain recreational drugs and regulate the market so only the cleanest versions of the drugs are avaialble and taxed and invest in things such as what Eddie does. Let's face it there will always be drugs in society so we might as well manage it rather than leave it in the hands of shady markets.
She also slept with at least one person under her care and bought him crack, having one of the other tenants pick him up absolutely funked out his head. Her exact words was 'he just needs a pipe, he's alright once he's had a pipe' whilst he rolling round the floor funked. True story. I was there.
What a good idea I hope you are able to help what she is doing via giving her funds to help sponsor addicts .
There are places you can go to get clean that are free but most people don’t know about them. I got clean in an amazing Christian rehab called Betel UK and have been clean 5 years next month. There’s no time limit on how long you stay either like there is in other treatment centres.
Yes, adapt take people who have been to betel. There is no therapy and it’s old school Christian based rehab so a very different concept. I appreciate it works for some but I’d not somewhere I’d recommend
Keep up the good work lads 🇮🇪🏴
I was sent to a detox centre for a month that cost £8k, but I got it free through my clinic. I was coming off methadone, but they even sent someone there for weed, which seems absurd. If you need treatment and rehab is what you want, go to a drug clinic and register, then after a while just badger them to look into it. If you don’t ask, you don’t get.
Unfortunately due to government cuts it isn’t this simple.. sadly. People are not getting treatment these days
I know Eddie and been to adapt it's great but unfortunately I just wasn't ready I've recently come out of prison for the 3rd time and started using again every chance I get but wouldn't be able to go back to adapt due to bad memories of my last relapse and becoming homeless
Amazing
2 weeks is too long boys, missed the mighty duo
I need the help of this charity how do i get into it please
yes Eddie
Not done any gear in a year these stories make me want to start again 😂

What's the dating website Kirks on?...minge?🤔
