Andy Man's Club is transformative, it really makes you feel listened to in an environment that's extraordinarily supportive. The power of telling your story and listening to others tell theirs is magical and immensely powerful. Everybody who braves walking through those doors will be rewarded with a sensationally caring environment.
Thanks for posting this Sean, anyone who’s been to AMC has felt the same way. Getting through the door is tough. Hope you stick with it, it can be life changing. 👌
Best thing I've done! I struggle with Social Anxiety myself but you'll find the guys greeting you put you at ease and support you the second you arrive. If you haven't gotten to a group yet, I 100% recommend! I'm a year into my journey since I posted this video and I'm now a lead Facilitator at one of the groups, something I'd never even imagined doing! 👌
Hi, I started going to AMC a year ago and now I’m a facilitator- the hardest thing is getting in the door, but what a group of lads. No pressure to talk about anything you don’t feel ready for, just a place to get stuff off your chest and have a bit of banter at the same time. Hope you manage to step through the door mate! 👌
Hi mate. You’ve done the best thing by turning up 💪 it took me a month to walk through the door, but it’s the best thing I did because 11 months down the line, I’m now a facilitator at the group. Onwards and upwards mate 💪
I went twice near where I live and won't be going back again as I was disgusted at the behaviour of the facilitators and how poorly it was run, people only go for the the main middle point to unload their problems the facilitators took up a lot of the time, people and the facilitators kept interrupting other people to talk about themselves again when they had their go, and by the the time it got round to new arrivals the facilitators interrupted people and told everyone to hurry up as they wanted a break after they had taken up a good portion of time. The group next to us finished early and weren't being quiet on leaving and the facilitators were putting chairs and tables away scrapping them on the floor loudly and the people who had issues couldn't be heard and had to keep stop talking. For the hour that you are there you probably only get 1 minute to speak about your problems. On the way out some new guy said to me is this what it is normally like and I said yeah it was the same last week. He said he wouldn't bother again and I agreed with him.
Sorry to hear that it was a negative session. I facilitate in Scotland and we do not allow interruptions, if you wish to add something or raise a question we don't allow it until the person is finished. We run for 2 hours to give everybody an equal chance to unload and as facilitators we unload too but not as long as users do. I'm actually angry and disappointed your experience was so negative and apologise on behalf of the organisation. I would recommend attending a different venue before quiting but understand if you choose not to. Take care and wish you the best

Amazing mate, hope you’re well
I went to my first group tonight. Thank you for this video, it helped me with knowing a bit more about what to expect
I'm a facilitator at amc in Scotland. Well done mate, we know how you feel because we were at that stage too. It will help and we'll done ❤
I keep thinking of going. Super nervous to be around new people though. Good on you for getting out there. Hope it’s a good journey for you 👍

@@SuperAverageDad I did indeed. I get super nervous around people, so it’s been hard but I’m still going!
I might issue an update at some point soon, things have definitely picked up
I’ve been trying to build up the courage to go I’m just worried on what topics can be discussed in group
