- Cocaine Shane's Road to Redemption
Hitting rock bottom can be a brutal wake-up call. In this episode, Elliott Wald sits down with Shane Samler, who opens up about his harrowing battle with cocaine addiction and the long, arduous road to recovery.
Shane's story begins at a young age, detailing his descent into addiction that steadily intensified. He candidly discusses the devastating impact cocaine had on his life, not only stealing his health and relationships but also leading to the collapse of his nasal septum, a physical consequence he blatantly ignored while the drug's grip tightened.
Despite this stark warning sign, Shane continued his downward spiral, losing his once-thriving business and isolating himself from loved ones. Finally, hitting rock bottom forced him to confront the harsh reality of his addiction.
This episode delves into Shane's courageous decision to seek help, his experience in rehab, and the ongoing challenges he faces in staying clean. He emphasizes the crucial role of support groups and shares his message of hope and encouragement: don't wait until you reach rock bottom; seek help before addiction steals everything from you.
This powerful episode is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the possibility of overcoming even the most challenging struggles.
love the fact that this raw honest drug addiction with people being honest is at your hands. I have been clean for 15 years was on crack big time and its not an easy journey.
Cor loved listening to this done the 6/7 days straight no sleep shovel head by the end was on me knees in pieces 2 stints in rehab still feel like a raving nutter sometimes but living life clean 9 years clean high 5 bruv keep marching on
Awesome for getting clean
I can really relate with so many of your stories, chances lost, jobs lost, years of not being a proper Dad ,and husband, is the most hurtful one,
The regret on the way down is horrible, the guilt was unbearable, promising to myself that was the last time, and then breaking your promise , prove me how weak I am.
It's so hard people to understand you.
Such a good Podcast 👍
Thank you so much, it does matter why you guys do.
THANK YOU FROM THE HEART
Shane mate it's Paul bro been years just wants to say how fucking proud I am of you mate we known each other for years and we both had a madness back then with the life we were living in Colchester I thinks it's fitting to your bravery and strength I have been clean 2 years myself now mate and I urge anyone to listen to this man and really take in what that shit does to you and your family....it'll be good to catch up my friend but for now I wish you the greatest journey in your recovery x
Shanes got so many good stories and all you did was interupt and interpret things for him when he can explain on his own
I found this, stopped the flow of his story telling and made him lose his rhythm, poor for a podcast host
Well done mate, keep up the good work!
So happy for him .I'm still in addiction but I think I've nearly had enough.I'm starting to make baby steps so hopefully. All the best thanx great conversation
Go for it lad I hope you get through it💯💯

Well done brother. Its so hard
Great podcast sounds like a nice lad
Great podcast
Thanks for listening
Im going through this now. Trying to quit. Hole in nose, spent a fortune, broken marriage.
You can do it mate if this bloke can anyone can
I like how it’s a conversation more than a podcast.. don’t listen to people saying your cutting him off this isn’t meant to be a ted talk
appreciate your feedback
What an extreme life story! Good luck to Shane.
Well done
Fantastic podcast, great listen.
Thank you for your comment.
Top guys! And well dun to shane.. quick question if you dont mind.... ive been a user for the last 10yrs every other day a gram at a time. I have moments of quiting like now, ive gone a week, but after day 7 i stuggle to get to sleep?? (Writting this at 2.30 in the morning) lol is this a common thing??
Back on the wagon today myself. Its hard to beat and good support is hard to find. Glad i found the channel. Good on ya Shane . Inspiration.
When you are in the hole, the damage does not quite sink in. I have had swollen legs, rashes ,shallow breathing etc etc. Always the last time aint it !
Keep strong and focused my friend
@@ElliottWald cheers, i will probably contact you regarding your services . It has been suggested to me .
The main thing I found helped me was cut out all the people that use it and go to the gym. Keep the faith fella, you'll get there eventually. I used to do an 8 ball 3/4 times a week but one day I just had enough. Haven't touched it for around 15 years now...
Yep I’m struggling at the minute but I’m not on it every day but 3 or 4 days a week it’s just a nightmare and In Dublin it’s normal now it’s fuxked
@eoin9393 Stay strong my guy. You need to get away. Grab a tent and a camping pack and head to the woods for the weekend. Delete the numbers for links and stay away from bad influences...👍
Great interview. For me could have been longer and more in-depth.
Can always do a sequel
sending you love Shane X
What a podcast can relate to near enough everythjng shane said well done mate!!
Shane is great. Could watch and listen to him all day but the host won’t let him speak!! Stop cutting him off. Respect Shane.
The host doesn't like criticism...I found this out. His ego speaks.
I’m 36 and have struggled with this demon for 20 years now and still do, it’s cost me jobs, relationships and over £100,000 in that time, caused serious mental health problems and I don’t even want to think about the physical damage Ive done to my body 😢
it doesn't have to be that way 07875 751960 for my one 2 one help
Stay strong reach out and ask for help I’m now over 3 years clean and sober after 35 years.
Honestly I’ve done exactly the same smashed relationships spent absolute fortune had serious mental health issues addiction is a mental health issue it simply is battered my body to bits just find the right recovery that suites you there is help out there and it’s free stay strong 💪 💙✌️🙏
Me too
@@ElliottWald what a gentleman.
Try AVRT - Jack Trimpey. Hope it helps❤
Seems like a cracking lad Shane all the best pal 🇮🇪 I look at all your TikTok’s mate and I think you definitely have adhd and the medication for it would definitely slow your head down , just a thought
I’m from James still and we used to take the adhd pills and it speeds you up but if you have adhd it’s slows you down a bit like white but lasts longer
James st
Well done Shane. What a nightmare you’ve been through. It’s such an evil drug. Onwards & upwards from here ❤
For me there was so many questions missed, such a shame, the interview could've been a lot better.
Honestly, that's how I feel this interview went.
On the upside I respect the podcast...keep up the good work, I'm fascinated with people and, their stories peace and positivity...i've subscribed 🌻 👊
What questions specifically were missed. Just write a list of say 5 and I’ll ask in the follow up interview.
Thank you for replying, Elliott 🌻
1, When did you realise you'd done irreversible damage to your nose and what were the first/gradual, symptoms in detail?
2, Have you replaced cocaine with any other substances, prescription drugs included to get through it?
3, Do you still get cravings, if so, how do you deal with that?
4, hows your mental and, physical health doing now?
5, How do you replace those intense chemical highs?
(Does he smoke tobacco?)
Thanks Elliott...goodluck with your podcasts, I definitely watch your vids, in my spare time! 👊
@@M1she11 1. That’s not a question I would ask someone on a first podcast, I’d find it a bit disrespectful when someone has come on your channel, unless they brought it up, I would not. It’s clear enough to see the damage Shane has done.
@@M1she11 2. He has not
@@M1she11 3. Good question this is on the follow up interview
Well done Shane so proud of you. ❤❤❤xx
Aye right ur on it the now
If my nose went like that, i’d have washed the coke and smoked it, fuck that.
How do I come on the podcast?
email pa@comingcleanwithme.com
I’ve sent an email
@@jakebarratt3836 need to write your full story on the email so I know if it’s good for the listeners
@@ElliottWald I’m with you. Oka I will
Was the ms caused by his usage?
yes m8
Damn... sorry. I can't stand the interrupting.
Give you your dues that you're new to this, and that the guest is nervous but it helps throw the whole story all over the place mate.
I can see it becoming a great podcast once you find a better rhythm.
Feels very fast paced. Slow it down a little please 🙏
I'll keep watching anyways. Thanks
I’ll take that on board
U kept cutting him short
Shane was nervous so I was help steer him
@@ElliottWald no hate btw was a great podcast but there was a few times where u cut him off to ask something then never took him back to what he was talking about
I’m now 3 years 3 months clean and sober work the 12 steps daily still do 3 meetings a week sponsor other men it works if we work it after 35 years of using drugs drink sex porn food shopping money anything to change the way I felt nothing ever worked it all stopped working then came into the rooms then it was like I light 💡 going on on in my nut bosh keep going Shaine stay strong brother ✌️❤️🙏👊
if that works for you awesome my friend, I found 12 steps to cult-like to spiritual for me. but one has to find a way for them. statistically 12 steps at AA/CA is 20% success rate after 12 months, I help my clients achieve 87% but I can only see so many clients in a day
@@ElliottWald like you say Elliot what ever works for the individual.
I did try all kinds Theropary just didn’t work for me unfortunately.
But the most important thing is helping people get well Elliot which you are doing so nothing but respect for you.
Best regards 💙✌️🙏
Thank you for the love my friend. and yes I always say some things work for some people but not everything works for all people @@user-up4qh3cf5j
A scaffolder from Essex who had trials for West Ham, drove a Range Rover, was on steroids and had a bad coke habit... And the award for biggest stereotype of 2024 goes to haha. I don't suppose he spent too much time in the bookies too, perhaps lost a several grand on the roulette machines?
Gen up I'm honestly just messing about, I'm a cliche too, but often addiction is like that. I tell ya what does show real character though is being honest about your mistakes, holding yourself accountable and being able to turn the tables and live a clean and serene life, god bless him and congratulations on his clean time. All the best for the future.
