Looking really well, you can see the 8 months in your skin and eyes 👊 I did 4 years sober in my thirties then screwed up and drank for a few years. Trying again now and on the right path. Never get complacent !

Great podcast mate. Thanks. Just done over 2 months sober myself and as you say, sobriety gives you everything that alcohol promised but failed to deliver. My mental health has improved vastly. I'm actually happy. Also, I'm going to meetings and that has helped me beyond words. Good luck to everyone who decides to make this change.

Feedback: brilliant !! Keep doing the vids mate. You’ve helped me so much. I resonate with it all. First had puff at 14, then been drinking, packet etc etc 1-2 (sometimes 3) times a week since. I’m 49 this year. But now clean for 6 months 3 days. Doing gym 3 times a week now and loving it. I feel like I’ve got a mate doing it with me watching your videos. Cheers mate !!! No pressure 😂🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Glad I found your channel! Deciding to go sober after having way too much the weekend. I obviously got way too excited and did not want the party to end. But then I embarrassed myself and have been cringing for days. So now, I’m finally deciding to knock it on the head as it isn’t serving me anymore. Gonna take it one day at a time and keep reminding myself of the reasons why I’m quitting. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s really helpful!!!

Dopamine Nation by Dr Annie Lembke is highly recommended. I also read “The subtle art of not giving a f*ck” which surprisingly helped me a lot when trying to knock the packet on the head. PS I went to Glastonbury at the weekend and not a grain of packet passed these nostrils. Had the best weekend

Another great video mate! I find having a non alcoholic beer or cider is a great help! Even though it it shouldn't matter i find it helps going out when people see you with a drink in your hand. I'm finding taking to girls on a night out sober is massive confidence builder - i'm not waking feeling like shit and losing all my confidence from the night before, i'm actually bringing it with me and thats great feeling. Can't wait to see you live!

I've been sober for 7 months now. I started listening to your pod on week 1 of being sober. I could relate so much to you and your guest and just listening to the different stories of Sobriety helped me to get to where I am today. Honestly, it's changed my life - I'm not depressed anymore, I have the get-up-and-go, and I want to spend more time with my family. I still go out to the pub and the lads I go football with still get on it around me, but I'm in a place where people respect and support my choice of being sober. I got to say Non-alcoholic beer has allowed me to still socialise in a pub and feel like I'm still a part of the group. Once you're in it, it's easy to keep going. Keep it up guys!

Hi Dan, been listening to the podcast on Spotify, i have been able to relate to many of the guests and yourself. Once you get through the looking glass of our British drink and drug culture it seems crazy, I look back on me drinking heavily since 16 in pubs, getting hammered and stumbling home barely able to walk from the club, cringe worthy really, then later the drugs come in (which got pretty bad...), chatting nonsense all night, being a dick, becoming weirder each time, mental health getting really bad, seems crazy I only just stopped all this stuff at 35!? Just curious, do you read any fiction or just read non fiction about health, mental health and sobriety etc?? Thanks again, Charles

Mate it’s hard I’m struggling with going out socially without drinking. Not so much because I can’t do it but because drunk people are so boring. I end up getting irritated by them and end up not wanting to be there which makes you seem miserable. It’s so true that alcohol is the only substance that people think you’re weird for not doing. Similarly to Dan, for me alcohol isn’t necessarily the problem, it’s the calling the packet on when you’re 2 pints in that’s the issue. I had to make the decision to quit drinking as it was the biggest trigger.
