I've never considered myself to be addicted to alcohol, but since watching you guys I've been determined to stop. Im already feeling much better, and owe you guys everything! Keep up the great work boys
Genuinely the most real honest sobriety podcast I’ve listened to! Completely identify with so much! 4 years clean and sober myself! My rock bottom ended in a failed suicide attempt! Very lucky and grateful to still be here
Oops phone was in my pocket! Just read your comment, congratulations on 4 years amazing!! I'm glad you're still here. Myself and boyfriend are in recovery, he's just relapsed which is terrifying. I love these podcasts, helps my head
People who turn addiction into a contest who had the worst rock bottoms don't understand it at all. Sadly, they're destined to fail because their ego wants to convince them they're the best at being an addict; it's a cunning and evil disease. Driving home at 9am, off your box, is not normal behaviour. It's the behaviour of an addict, and you're addressing it now, mate, using your platform for good and making people change. It's commendable - you and Kirk are inspiring a lot of people, mate. Keep it up.
Yeah but these people u call addicts are destined for something different and normal behaviour for me aint yeß sir no sir three bags full addicts as u like to call people dont pu or want to put themselves in positions of power which shows that they have more empathy than thise that do it just gets blocked out and hidden away anyway ive been up for 3 days and spent a monkey so im not that clever and ur right it aint normal behaviour
Hello mate, I just wanted to say that I came to your first comedy tour in Islington. It was brilliant!! I remember seeing Kirk there too. I have struggled with coke and drink for a long time. Shit childhood then when I was 16 I had my daughter and my whole world started to mean something. Everything fell into place. Unfortunately when she was 5 years old she passed away and since then I have been an absolute mess!! That was nearly 8 years ago and things have not got better for me mentally. I have a son too who is literally keeping me going. I laugh through every day just to get by. Anyway stay positive! X
92 days sober groups once a week smashing the running !! Tne thing I've been thinking for a while and one of the voice notes touched on it is that u boys made it seem abit cool to go sober so thanks for being open about it and putting ya problems in the spotlight. You help turn my life around
What a pair of legendary working class geezers, these videos are helping numerous working class users to notice there own addiction problems and hopefully progress to sobriety. Keep up the good work lads.
Was a heavy coke user until 2 very good friends of mine have recently helped me I have to check in every 2 hours by text or voice message with either one of them tell them by saying how I feel or if there’s any problems been clean 6 days now watching your videos really helps
Rock bottom… that feeling of despair as the gear wears off and no dealers are responding. Like staring into the pits of hell, the reality and anxiety all setting in… F that life man.
its scary listening to kirk its like listeng to my worse times in addiction again ...thanks for being so candid it reminds me that we all never want to go back there!
I have no addictions, but find these podcasts very interesting to listen to. And makes us people who can’t really understand addictions understand more
Im 3 months clean I’ve got a great boxing career ahead of me and the reason is because I met my souls mate who made me love myself again. Im slowly crawling out of the hole of debt I got myself in from the dark days of my past. You and Kirk are another reason I’ve been inspired listening to you at work learning to tackle my triggers and urges. Cheers lads🤛
I will be honest. I know nothing about drugs and barely drink (although my mum is an alcoholic) but i absolutely love listening to you guys. You are so inspiring and even inspiring me to live my life to the full. What an incredible thing you're doing. You will be helping so many people. Well done and lots of love to you both and your families.
My story is so similar to Kirk. I use to be really clever in lying where I was to sniff gear in my car or walking round where I live of my nut. There was times I’d walk 20 + miles down back alleys through parks, sniffing every chance I got. I got myself into some fucking unbelievable situations. My rock bottom came when I split up with some girl I tried to kill my self and when my mum rang the ambulance she saw a message from a drug dealer I owed 2k too. I racked up this 2k debt in less than 10 days. My mum and dad had just given me money to bale me out from a drug debt. So I left the hospital and I came home and I was kicked out. I had no money, no real mates (the mates I had was only interested when I had gear.) this then was the beginning of a almost 2 years of drugs running my life. I lost 3 stone. By the end of it I was pissing and vomiting blood. Kirk’s first podcast saved my life.
@@Jamie91_ it’s mad some of the situations you put yourself in because of drugs. I remember once I was so paranoid every time I saw a police car I would go to extreme lengths to avoid any roads. It took me 4 hours to walk the 15 minute journey home.
This is the kind of stuff I listen to that honestly makes me think, my god their are others that did what I did in active addiction. Lads fair play to ye for this podcast. It’s absolute gold
Line of anxiety!! Said that for years!! Relapsed after 170 days, fucking gutted!! All it done was made me wank a softie for about 8 hours and felt paranoid to fuck. Such a terrible drug!
I stopped drinking 18years ago but still suffered other addictions over the years....your podcast is really helping me as in early sobriety again not sodryety .....it hard and lonely place so your work is so much appreciated!
You just gotta pull yourself away people!! It’s hard but deep down your not missing out on nothing. You think you are but your really not. All ur missing out on is a sore nose a empty pocket and and the drama the next following days
I've seen other channels that have a 'thanks' button so people can donate to the channel. Might be worth looking at to help keep the pod going. I would donate, and I'm sure others that can, will. Keep up the great work, guys. It must be difficult, but It really is so inspirational, and you're saving and helping so many people. Thank you 👏❤
ADHD like most mental health conditions are very subjective. It affects people in various different ways. There’s definitely a link between mental health issues and addiction. ADHD and cocaine use are very common from the self medication perspective. The danger of substance use is that it can lead to mental health disorders as well as make existing or underlying conditions worse. This makes it harder to face sobriety as the feeling of total clarity after long periods in substance misuse, can feel very foreign. You will have periods of extreme emotions and anxiety. For me it took 6months. Eventually it does get better. I’ve relapsed a few times but never gone back to anywhere near problematic use. Great podcast as per guys! Keep up the good work!
Discovered this podcast just a week ago, but already absolutely love you guys! Thank you so much for what you’re doing - you’re the real deal and making a huge impact! Keep up the good work mates ❤️💪
My rock bottom was boxing day, drug induced psychosis, police intervention and nearly using my kids. Huge wake up call to my life and the day I stopped using completely x
Great to hear you finally share your rock bottom Dan, this and your appearance on Over The Influence definitely feels like you have turned a corner in accepting your sobriety. I'm nearly 11 months now and I had a huge wobble when summer hit and I really thought I wanted to go back but now I'm at a place where Ive accepted my Sobriety and now life feels bloody good 👊 I was offered packet the other night and I won't lie I had that gremlin back on my shoulder and then I couldn't stop thinking about it so I took myself away from the situation. I was so fucking proud of myself.. keep up the great work Dan 👊
Well done Dan, you are working so hard. This podcast is top teir! You are changing so many peoples lives. Dont listen to the 'addiction gatekeepers' in the comments. Everybodys struggles with addiction is different. These people havent lived your life so dont understand what it was like to be in your shoes at that point in time. Keep it up mate, dont let the haters get to you x
I think Rock bottom isn’t necessarily the bottom of you have been, but a moment that wakes you up or scares you to the point you need to try and change immediately … I was in so many worse places many times but there are 4 or 5 moments that have made me have to change during those periods and they weren’t necessarily as bad as I have been but they had an emotional impact on me that scared me into changing or forced me into changing or trying to change !
Hearing you two speak so openly and honestly is so refreshing and like the fella on the voice message said, you don't feel like you're doing it alone l. Absolutely love the show and looking forward to the next one
I just want to say you 2 are genuinely helping people You have helped me so much More than any anxiety pill I’m telling you that much Real hero’s , lads telling it how it is and being man enough to admit they have been at rock bottom Your soldiers lads keep it up much love 🤜🏻🤛🏻
New to this podcast. You helped me not drink last weekend. Thankyou. Ive got about a thousand questions to ask . Have you discussed trying to get sober with a partner that drinks a lot but has a better handle on it than you? Everything you say is so relatable to me . Cheers lads.
I think it would be incredibly interesting todo an episode purely on ADHD and Addiction, there is 1000000% a link between the two!! Not just from my own personal life but the science backs it up!! Also I have blue eyes adhd and addiction problems 😂coincidence?
As always , absolute class lads. Made me think about a lot of my many rock bottoms and how much drink and drugs has played a part! Thanks for the episode 👍
Omg. You both are so relatable…. Different backgrounds etc, but still the same feelings. You both saved me, nothing else worked,tried AA, as stated before . Just could not get it. Nearly gave up… from a 74 year old woman …. But crying with laughter at Kirk’s story about the flat tyre….. 😅. I want to come in your audience. Please .
Too Kirk. I suffered with hearing problems as a child. I had grommet, tubes and now wear hearing aid due to scar tissue. So having ADHD and former addict. I related to this podcast. Well done boy's ❤ from Norris
Hi Guys Thanks for these Not had a drop of booze since the new year, but still vaping and suffering from the gear most weekends and some weekdays, not going to stop giving up of these as financially and mentally messing up my life
All of you work so well together. Solid podcasters and helping me & so many others. Lads who have been & done it and can talk it all through. Legends.. Big Love 💙
So much reeeeespect been listening from the v first episode can hear your healing your growth the change in your mindset keep winning live laugh love ❤
Brilliant podcast and links to hearing and ADHD I also had grommets and ADHD as we know presents differently in females . Your both raising awareness and opening up conversation for many men who need to open up emotionally . Ps also blue eyes etc someone professional explaining ADHD would be amazing .
Interesting about the adhd connection. How do you guys deal with your adhd now that you aren’t using drugs to calm your thoughts? P.s thank you for doing this podcast, it actually makes me excited to be sober 😅 you are doing great things couldn’t have came at a better time for me.
I am not a alcoholic but my GF is, she knows she has a problem, she has said so herself, she broke down and told both me and her family about it all. Recently shes been really struggling, she will finish work and drink a full bottle of Vodka on the way home. Every time she seems to be doing okay and goes a few days/a week without drinking something else happens and it sets her off again. Im not saying the things that have happened havent been horrifc, in the last year her Father died out of the blue, had a heart attack in her parents living room, the in the last 2 months she has had 2 of her cousins die (both as the result of heavy drinking) so i do understand that its tough, its just so hard to watch her like this, i try to be supportive, i want to help, ive watched everything i can, ive read everything i can find on what i can do to help, i know it says that she has to make the decision to get help but shes going to kill herself if she keeps going like this, i dont know what to do anymore. I understand its an addiciton but sometimes i wish the addicted could understand how difficult it is to see someone you love more than anything slowly poison themselves. Sorry about the ramble, not really sure why i wrote it in a comments section, just have to get it out i guess.
I'm trying so hard to stop usinv but every month payday comes snd back to it . I wish i had people who i could talk to . Any groups online that people csn tell me about
Would you agree rock bottom for someone doesnt have to include drugs/drink? It could be someone heartbroken which is a completely different rock botton.. but still a rock bottom to them? Xx
Funniest pair of fkrs ever!!😂😂😂 Just love listening to you lads. So down to earth and relatable. Thanks lads for sharing your journey and being so honest whilst really helping many people struggling with the demons. Love the way you keep it so real and funny. God bless you both. Keep up the good work 💪🙏❤️🙏
I dont know wat rock bottom for me is probly when i stop breathing my positivity and visulization keeps me goin but thats not a good thing for me to cut a long story short i havnt wanted it in my life for a long time but o dont think i can accept help im a private person any ideas any1 and dan i learnt the word visulization from when u was on the pod with the hynotist fella from south east london cant rember hes name but i always thought it was daydreaming coz that wat we were told get a 9 to 5 job be seen not heard well that was never gna happen and if theres any1 out there like me a good place to start is a video by denzil Washington i think its called wat they should teach ay school anyway respect to u dan and kirk
Mind u at least i have rhe common sense not to drive now even crashing into an ambulance i fire engine and bein chased up the uxbridge road by both of them with the police tagging along behind us with a sri lankan fella called silve who worked in the off licsence where i lived
I do envy some celebs in the way they can afford to drop what their doing a go to rehabs/clinics that us normal folke would struggle to do. Not sounding bitter or jealous but some moments in my life I wish I could have done that
@menacetosobrietypodcast I hope I don't sound bitter or jealous as I don't mean it that way I'm just envious, that's all. However, the flip side to that is if you're an addict or have mental health issues and are in the spotlight, I can only imagine it's even worse.
thank you so much. im an addict, as is my spouse. i get weird vibes and look in her wallet and find perks. how do i go about being like what the fuck your still doing this and lieing to my face? without sounding and acting like that
Im not at rock bottom but i do want to stop sniffing gear... I've heard a functional addict is the worse. I dont want to get to rock bottom but im afraid that is the only way im going to be able to stop
ffs boys. just woke up and im tootin n zootin 2 mins after ive got up. both stories resonated with me does that mean im double fucked?lmao. im 31 been doing this crap since 16, i dont drink all week but get on it hard most weekends cos past 2 beers my nose starts itchin. done it once without beers felt fucking wiers
Ive listened since episode 1, i did comment before.. but now it seems to be repetitive chat about coke & alcohol… not everyones a coke head or alcoholic, get a different person with different views on. Kirk is awesome but the stuff spoke about is the same over n over…
I've never considered myself to be addicted to alcohol, but since watching you guys I've been determined to stop. Im already feeling much better, and owe you guys everything! Keep up the great work boys

Another great episode.

I dont know wat rock bottom for me is probly when i stop breathing my positivity and visulization keeps me goin but thats not a good thing for me to cut a long story short i havnt wanted it in my life for a long time but o dont think i can accept help im a private person any ideas any1 and dan i learnt the word visulization from when u was on the pod with the hynotist fella from south east london cant rember hes name but i always thought it was daydreaming coz that wat we were told get a 9 to 5 job be seen not heard well that was never gna happen and if theres any1 out there like me a good place to start is a video by denzil Washington i think its called wat they should teach ay school anyway respect to u dan and kirk
Mind u at least i have rhe common sense not to drive now even crashing into an ambulance i fire engine and bein chased up the uxbridge road by both of them with the police tagging along behind us with a sri lankan fella called silve who worked in the off licsence where i lived
Man my rock bottom was way worse!
i love these podcasts
Class again 🤝
I like your top dapper 👌🏼
I do envy some celebs in the way they can afford to drop what their doing a go to rehabs/clinics that us normal folke would struggle to do.
Not sounding bitter or jealous but some moments in my life I wish I could have done that
Agree mate, it was a luxury I could afford, there’s not enough support out there
@menacetosobrietypodcast I hope I don't sound bitter or jealous as I don't mean it that way I'm just envious, that's all.
However, the flip side to that is if you're an addict or have mental health issues and are in the spotlight, I can only imagine it's even worse.
thank you so much. im an addict, as is my spouse. i get weird vibes and look in her wallet and find perks. how do i go about being like what the fuck your still doing this and lieing to my face? without sounding and acting like that
sound is quiet for me?
Im not at rock bottom but i do want to stop sniffing gear...
I've heard a functional addict is the worse.
I dont want to get to rock bottom but im afraid that is the only way im going to be able to stop
Kirk: "would you like to come to my party, there might be a chance of a shooting, maybe a few deaths" literally crying laughing... 😂
Holiday Mode 😂😂😂
I need to escape this existence
Rock bottom is a trap door to lower floors

podcast is sweet as tho both daimonds proper funny, honest, and intelligent convo kirks smashed it too. gorn chaps
You wouldn't buy a farreri and park it in the garage 😂😂
go on John the don 🤣
Ive listened since episode 1, i did comment before.. but now it seems to be repetitive chat about coke & alcohol… not everyones a coke head or alcoholic, get a different person with different views on. Kirk is awesome but the stuff spoke about is the same over n over…
Multiple rock bottoms ending up in hospitals a few times
Glad your ok now mate
I’ll go fly through their door 😂😂😂😂 ok then Kirk as if you didn’t grow up privileged
Dod you even listen to what he was saying about money?
Stop trying so much
You’re great
Slowly soft
