  • Dan chats with Stewart Lee, author of "Me and My Addiction," about his journey with alcoholism and sobriety. Stewart shares his relatable story, from trying to fit in as an awkward teenager to hitting rock bottom and attempting suicide. He discusses getting and staying sober, including stints in rehab, relapsing at big life events, and finally committing to recovery. Stewart offers insights into addiction psychology and talks about finding purpose through new hobbies like boxing and dance. This raw, honest interview provides many teachable moments about addiction that will resonate with those struggling with their own addiction or that of a loved one.

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.

    Unbelievable work Dan - your story is a carbon copy of mine. Shout out from Dublin, Ireland. I'm balls deep in emotional overload trying to repair my marriage and the trail of destruction I've left along the way. Guilt and shame are overwhelming on most days. 50 days in. Really appreciate it lad and have been sharing with my mates who are ready to face it!

    Great podcast Dan and Stewart ,
    Well done to you both on your recovery and sobriety.
    When we get to see threw the mirage that drinking and using is the only way to live your life only then we get to start the real journey to become the truest version of ourselves . We become free and that’s is a beautiful thing .
    Very similar story to me I was really hot rock bottom a various times I’m my life due to cocaine and alcohol abuse been given ipp sentence and prison for 5 years due to violence in blackout , relationship breakdown the lot ,
    Finally now today after a long road of learning the hard way I have peace ☮️ in my soul and I would not swap that for any money or possession out there . I’ve now been sober since 2016 June 🙏 so grateful for that one day at a time 🙏💪
    Take care keep pushing the sobriety it’s the only party worth going to

      @@carlenebantick9292 I have to be frank, when I stopped drinking I had beers in the fridge and never wanted them as needed a fag to think of opening a beer. From what I’ve seen on the podcast, people also avoid drinking re the packet. Drinking seems more of the middle man addiction between the other addictions of coke and smoking too! It’s quite an interesting point!
