In this episode, Dan wants to talk about a topic that is frequently intertwined with addiction, so much so that he sees it consistently in his mental health group and receives DMs about it daily: suicide in men. He is joined by John Connelly who talks about his own experience of almost taking his own life, what led him to that decision and what they both agree needs to change.

Menace II Sobriety Live brings the up & coming podcast to the live stage; hosted by Daniel O'Reilly and a special guest, no topic is off-limits. Combining humour with stories and issues which both Daniel and the audience will have experienced, whether first hand or through someone they know. Offering an environment for people to openly discuss their struggles was Daniel's main focus behind starting the podcast, as well as his M.A.T.E group; so now he also brings it to the stage and to the public.
What can people expect at the live podcast:
Join Daniel at Menace II Sobriety Live, as he discusses all things sobriety, ADHD, mental health and more. The podcastwill be recorded live with a special guest, including audience interaction and finishing with an open Q&A.
Daniel will not only be discussing sobriety, but everything life throws at us, and he would love for you to join him. Bring your tissues and your sense of humour, because we have no idea what topics will be discussed, but whatever the conversation, it'll be a supportive environment and may contain some dad jokes.
Story behind the podcast:
The Menace II Sobriety podcast was set up after Daniel faced his own battles with sobriety, ADHD, mental health and certain life scenarios. He set up a M.A.T.E group on Facebook, so that men could support men in an accessible, open and friendly environment. Upon seeing the responses from men around the world to some of the posts on the group, Daniel was blown away by the kindness and support of strangers. This led him to create the podcast, inviting a range of guests from different backgrounds, sharing his own personal experiences & struggles; and now, opening up to the public in a live environment, where people can come along and watch in-person, or get involved in the audience interaction.

Dan your an inspiration…. So looking forward to your podcast…every Friday. I miss Kirk though .hope he is back next week..
Where’s the one tonight?
What a brave brave young man. Kudos to him for opening up about his story.
Well done Dan - great showcasing real people with real life stories that aren’t celebs looking for promo. So much more authentic. 👏🏼
I think what a lot of people don’t understand about childhood trauma is that your not blaming your parents for being bad parents or not doing enough or mistreating you ect anything can set these programs into action as an adult from something that happened in childhood it’s like when you touch something hot you learn not to touch hot things .. it’s the same prospect your parent could have promised to come to your school play and it was sooooo important to you as a kid and they got stuck at work and that caused a trust issue in the future not saying it’s there fault life is life and you can’t do it all but a child brain doesn’t rationalise or process the way an adults does it’s nobody’s fault but picking it apart and finding out why you have these programs as an adult can help you to work through and heal from it 💚
wow. In tears after watching John's tiktok. I have bipolar disorder and have been in that mental place too many times to count. Well done John, keep going you can do it.
Dan, can you post the live show from Wednesday, it’s was brilliant. Thanks
One of my good friends ended he’s life and he is missed every day, you absolute warrior for getting through what ya went through, none of us are perfect, onwards and upwards, look after yaselfs people❤️
Is sad man getting to old age is a privilege in my eyes if you do you have won the game facts 1000 percent . So many people don’t due to diseases murders suicide ect thousands don’t and most are kids young kids it’s sad man . Sorry about your friend I had a mate back in school who I only found out recently that he took his life same age as me only 24 had years and years left . We parted ways unfortunately didn’t speak to him for years found out few weeks back from my mum stay safe peeps and help outher in need and talk to people ect focus on you 💪❤️👌
holy shiiiiit...this is fucking real man... for me is that first month more or less after quiting the shit, that depression that quimic reaction on the brain, better saying the lack of quimics in the brain, we fell so sad and down that our brain keep teling us to fucking gave up that is to fucking hard to live without the shit...peace brothers and BE FUCKING STRONG BECAUSE IT ALWAYS GET BETTER WITH TIME
GYM IS ONE OF THE BIG HELP FOR ME...FIND YOURS
He is a brave man and a real man. It takes a warrior to open yourself up like that to so many people. His family, friends, colleagues, and everyone who knows him must be so proud of him, I am; and have never met him. God bless you, sir, as well as your family, friends, and those around you. Love and respect from me, my brother. Kind regards
Remember seeing this guys TikTok so amazing to hear his story and get a sense of what got him to the place he was and see how far he’s come I know what he means about “not having anything to be depressed about” it’s so strange when people ask and you literally can’t explain it yourself so how can I explain it to you 😅 .. I feel like when he was saying he had all the nice things and he was doing well for himself but felt nothing maybe it’s less to do with material richness and more to do with inner richness having a sense of purpose being fulfilled in your relationships and doing things that make you feel happy even if it’s not what your “supposed” to be doing massive love to these two guys love that dans got his group for the guys definitely an amazing space for men to seek advice and just get things off there chest in a place they feel they can be vulnerable 💚
I love your podcasts ….as a mum I’m leaning and giving me things to look out for my my own sons xx
😊
Good on you for these mate. ❤️
Powerful podcast. Brave guy to talk about his experience.
I can’t bring myself to tell my story and show that I’m not the strong alpha male that isn’t phased by anything.
thanks for this , life gets better
You know I relate not so much on the suicidal part but I do in a lot of other ways. The emptiness is a killer. It’s crazy how you do always look for something to always make you happy wether is substances or buying material possessions. But like I’ve got from this podcast is you have to find the happiness from within. No saying it’s a easy thing but that is what has to be done. I hope one day I do find the happiness from within
Great to see men having this conversation 👏 well done!
This hits soo deep glad ur still among us fella thanks for sharing
You boys are amazing , thank you for talking about this ❤
Thanks for sharing, John. I’m from Cambuslang myself mate and it’s encouraging to hear someone local sharing their story.
I'm so happy when I see a new vid pop up. Another brill chat between 2 honest genuine caring men. Big respect 🙏 ❤❤
This is so powerful! Thank you both so much for doing this ❤
Love to this guy. Dan, you’re getting so good at hosting these pods! Legend ❤

What a brave young man to tell his story. I'm so glad he's doing so well now. Im sure he will help many with his courage and integrity. I'm glad there's diversity in your podcast, Dan. I think it's helping a huge number of people and families 🙏 your doing amazing too, Dan. 💯 respect to your guest 🙌 thank-you
Well done Dan, thought you handled that podcast with care and patience, it was done for the right reasons. Not just to grow the channel - this will land with so many young people - keep up the good work🤝
Another incredible podcast. You are literally saving people Dan. Well done to John, very brave young man 🤍
Can relate to nearly all of that podcast , "its scary how lonely you feel , but you also want to feel lonely" in my experience at my worst I just wanted the day done so I could be on my own and think about suicide and how others reactions would be. It's hard to explain or understand unless you've been there. Not a fan of tiktok fb Instagram etc but fair play if your helping others John, all the best from the highlands 🏴🇬🇧
Well done John!
Dan, your videos deserve to get more reach. Suggest having a short intro at the start of each video, with highlights to draw the punters in. Look at Diary of a CEO videos as an example. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
‘If you put in the work, it gets fucking better’
So true, none of this is easy but if you want it, you gotta work hard at it.
Great pod lads!
I love podcast and hearing how people change there lives :)
Look how far you come john through that dark cloud you found the rainbow
Huge respect fellas
Love the podcast mate, keep up the good work it's excellent 👌
This time last year I watched these videos on a come down Im off the gear now..I went sober now hooked on vodka
The character comedy you do with the filters is really good, you should rock up to the ITV studios, turtleneck & the McLaren Pfu & just request a meeting, maybe pitch a wholesome concept such as what your doing now. Hopefully they'll offer you a deal & you can say please, i only deal with reputable media outlets now. Fuck em
😢omg I am like this now I am dead inside and I can't move on 52 years and it still hurts me cos I am dead inside crying 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Wasent an easy one to watch. I think everyone knows someone who has either commited suicide or tried too. This podcast was very personal to me. There was a male suicide in my family. They were very young.
God sent that woman to take them pictures for you mate! He defo had bigger plans for you bud
I feel for everyone who has had these thoughts. I often see video of people sharing their story who made one attempt. Try at least 10 lol. See how that feels. I'm glad all it takes is one to change someone's life and have this big epiphany come to Jesus moment. Many people are not so lucky
I just relapsed after 50 days 😢
You did 50 that’s amazing just focus on that that’s a massive step forward
@@tomgarrett7567 Thankyou I really appreciate it 🥹
I think we need one about obesity, which is food addiction (using food to cope / emotional eating).
Any advice lads time too get clean

Curse of the straight white young Irish and British males
Relapsed last night bad and lay in bed from 3am until 9 when I finally passed out saying over and over in my head I want to fucking kill myself carnt do this anymore, watching this helped me remember things can and do get better
