I've been on coke on off for 13 years but decided the start of this year to kick it for good. That's nearly 6 weeks off it and in that time I've managed to get an offer for Uni and I picked the keys up for my own pad yesterday so I can move out of my dads.

"I never wanted to die, but I didn't know how to live"...wow, I feel that man.

Going through a hard time the now with my addiction so needed to hear this to keep me going. 17 days clean now off the drink but better than 0. Keep going. Never give up.

Most honest podcast I’ve ever seen.. man was brilliant, brave ❤❤

'I didn't wanna die but I didn't know how to live'. Strong strong words. I'm sure alot of people have felt the same. I've been there too but thankfully my kids keep me happier than I ever knew was possible.

I was addicted to coke for 20 years I've been clean for 2 years nearly but the big thing I quickly realised is even though your not taking that drug anymore your still addicted to it and always will be for the rest of my life but saying no is all I have to do

I didn't want to die but I didn't know how to live I've felt like that alot of times

Here here James 🙌 ‘you can’t love anyone else until you love yourself! ‘ 😊

I watch all the interviews but must admit I found this one the most captivating... Underneath all those millions this is a man who in my opinion is incredibly humble, honest and down to earth.... Someone who has faced his demons head on and happily admits when he has fucked up and doesn’t try and shift the blame... Massive respect for coming through the other side. Great interview.

15:00 massive respect to James for being so honest about his own insecurities and putting it out there! Such a good interview this

1 of best interviews iv seen, any man who can turn his stars around in a legal way deserve everything they get. I can relate so much to you James.

What a legend! I hope that you change many lives 😊

You know, I've had an on/off relationship with Cocaine for 20 years now. I had a relapse past weekend after not doing any for best part of a year prior. I felt the most ashamed I have ever felt in my entire life. Now my serotonin levels are returning to normal, It's reenergised me to never touch it again. Never again do I want to feel that low. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to bounce back up & some people can only learn this way. I'm one of them.

Holy shit! This 50 minutes has made me realise so much about what’s going wrong in my life and has been for years! Addiction is a scary place and it’s even scarier when you don’t even know your in that place to start with. Thanks lads 🙏🏼

The one main demon in a lot of these interviews is “cocaine”.

Terrific interview James. 24 yrs clean and sober and my sponsor was an old scottish lady tough as boot leather. Best advice she ever gave me was... You're Only As Sick As Your Secrets. That was next level wisdom. Brutal honesty makes us better people and the people around us better because of that.

Two genuine men making absolute sense . Well done lads Outstanding interview.

What a guy related to every word of his addiction , genuine as fuck

I hope Glenn Tamplin finds peace and happiness. 🙏🏻. He’s been through so much but is very honest about his problems, which is to his credit. Bless him 🦋

Enjoyed this Interview. An emotional man, honest & self reflective. Wish him the best.

Glenn is a cracking fella. Was fortunate enough to meet him at his house a few years back. A genuine good guy

That was great.. what a brilliant share🥳 Totally identified. I’ve been clean 10 years & love being on this road less travelled. Helping others & sponsoring is when I too, am at my best. God is good🙏

The mutual engagement was brilliant. What a podcast.

I'm exactly the same after a line of coke. Completely bugged out and paranoid. So glad I stopped that shit.

I've seen many of your shows James and love your work. Got to say Glen's story resonated with me hugely, as many of us addicts often say. Long story short, after years of drink and drug abuse, a spell in jail for ABH and financial meltdown, I live a simple life as a trainee chef and try to be a humble father to my 5yr old boy. I don't have much, but my sanity is just about there, and we all have a chance to turn our lives around when we make the decision to change. Thanks again, means alot

6 months clean tomorrow this time round. Not trying to do it on my own is the key for me. Great listen that was fair play. We do recover. Thanks lads.

What is great about James is he listens to his Guests and doesn’t interrupt, and he asks relevant questions. Great host 👍🏻

Heart felt pod cast,you could see just how much you were both talking and helping each other out ,inspirational

Never heard of the guy But really enjoyed the interview Thanks James

Been watching James for months now & the content is incredible, this has to be my fave. Lots of great messages in this podcast, you have men that are or have been the most violent of the violent but here we get their sensitivity and their wisdom. We get guests who have suffered horrendous abuse and losses but here they give us their passion and their direction. I feel James should receive maximum credit for the way he guides first & then proceeds to fuel the guests, they always seem not just happy but encouraged to reveal this stuff. This podcast virtually never has a blandness to it where host or guest are struggling to get traction around the conversation, I will always support James English , this is almost my therapy.. Great work James much appreciated sir 👍❤️

Only just got around to this podcast. I am in recovery myself and have been clean for 5 years now. I always focus on now and try to live in today as you cant change the past but you can change now with also believing and working on the subconscious mind. Never been into books but am going to read the power of now. Thanks for the recommendation. Keep up the good work james 👏

Top man,your openness will help with others and it is honourable that you are giving back.RESPECT

This stuff you and your guests are doing is really important.thanks James Glenn.

Inspirational, made me cry tears of joy to hear The Lord saved him!

This is what we need brave people speaking out honest yes

I'm not rich nor am I a Brilliant interviewer but I see myself in both sometimes through the video. The dad thing haunts me long too! I'm really glad I watched this. So thank you boys! ... there is always hope, even when there is no reflection in the mirror! 👊👑

These interviews are all so interesting! The chat just flows, James, your interviewing technique and brutal honesty is to be applauded! I thank the lord I have never tried drugs and I do not have an addictive personality because my life, given the people I ran with at the time, throughout the 90s could have took a whole different direction and I could have found myself at the end of one of James's microphones! Glenn is the perfect example of how important your mental health is, much more important than any amount of wealth! Hundreds of people will have looked at Glenn in the day with his cars, money and flash Harry attitude and thought 'I'd love to have his life' but now watching this wouldn't have wanted it for all the money in the world! Well done Glenn for turning a corner, yes you still struggle but you are a big hearted fantastic man, take pride in who you are buddy and stay strong! James, keep up the good work.

Fantastic again James. I never heard of Glenn before, his story made the tears flow. He seems like a really genuine guy. 💚

this guy gets it speaking out about the things that hurt the most is half the battle

James English, I love your honesty and relate 100% to what you’re saying about fear of relationships, addiction, recovery, fears etc. You’re on the money

Thank you James for some of these great interviews. Helping people that don’t know they need it.

makes me feel il. remembering coke benders where you nose is so painful, you desperate for sleep but have no chance and are so paranoid every noise in the house seems like someone breaking in. The worst for me was thinking family were going to drop in for a surprise visit and I would have to deal with them when I couldn't even speak. So glad I don't touch that shit any more. There is no glamour in this or any other drug. Great honest interview as usual.

This guy is very connected to his feelings and not afraid to be vulnerable with his honesty. I believe this is how he stays clean

Wow im in recovery 12 years,these two spoke my story,how i feel, how i work,the best and most soul searching interview ive ever seen great help thank you 👍

The bit where you talked about relationships and insecurity resonated with me so much. In a constant battle to stop being selfish and focus on somebody else. But not so much that I end up getting hurt (again).

Wow, I never knew Glenn Tamplin was such a purposeful human being! Praying for the best for him!

Loved that james glen is a blinder watching you two made me so happy to be a recovering addict can relate to all the madness how we think . Thanks glen your helping others and like you i know theres defo a god .

Thank you Jesus for saving this man in the depths of his sin!!! Hallelujah! Hosanna in the highest ❤️

great respect for the guy for being open and honest. Loving these interviews man keep up the good work James!

Thanks James for such an AWESOME interview, could listen to Glenn all day. Good luck in your recovery. James, you are the best!

29 days without anything but cocaine. Can we take a minute to appreciate how stern and resilient the human body can be.

Still one of my favourite podcasts this one James. Comes across as a top fella Glen Tamplin. Having another rewatch.

First time I've ever watched any of James English interviews/episodes and I can honestly relate to a lot of what they are BOTH saying. Blokes speaking from the heart at whats really going on "behind the mask" is so refreshing to hear. Well done for keeping it real fella's, I really look forward to watching more of these....

That was a lovely interview the other day I see the title and thought here we go some flash prick but I was wrong, it was a fascinating watch and a lot of things I can empathise with in many aspects of his life. I also realise the best way to grow is to be very critical of yourself and see how you can improve in all areas. Good luck with helping people and continuing to battle your demons!

Quality! I’ve not been an addict myself but I have put faces on from being young, a lot of things make sense from this, thank you both for sharing 👏🏻👏🏻

Yet again another classic ,love hearing these story's from all walks of life. Really enjoyed this one especially when he spoke about jesus . Keep up the good work lads .

Great interview, well done Glenn for your honesty, much appreciated, great message. Thank you James, loved your input, I listened to every word, related to alot of what was said.

Love Glenn, such an inspiration to sufferers everywhere.

Best KZfaq interview I've watched in a long time. I loved the message that this gave. 2 honest and open guys. Respect

Absolute best thing I've watched in a long while. We are one

Amazing stuff, really comes from the heart you can tell. Massive credit to the both of you, you should be very proud. Keep going guys you're a fantastic example to others.

Thank you James and thank you Glenn, absolute Gents you both are.

So much respect James brother I've also been going through some dark times similar to yourself and I really appreciate what your doing helping others by shedding light on these subjects that other people just shrug off and pretends nae happening keep the good work going mate 🙌👍

My mind was F’d today I can relate to a lot of what was said in this podcast but I was about to hit the self destruct button......Weird how things work after listening to this I feel sooo much better.thanks James 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 great podcast

I don’t know this guy but I thought I’d give it a watch... I respect him. Good podcast.

Tell Glenn to get onto Daren Gee and give him the opportunity he needs

Glenn you had a hard upbringing. Most of us avoided the hardships of bullying, a bad homelife or environments. These things are horrible experiences and dont ever feel like you are a bad person. You're now telling thousands your karma and helping others. That's beautiful that you can do this after all you've been through.

Glenn I don’t care what you think, you’re a brilliant man , 🙏🏼

This was heartbreaking.... coming from Amex heroin and crack addict for 6 Years . I’ve been clean since 2003 when I came out of wormwood scrubs ! When I was in feltham young offenders which is 15 mins away from my home.... I got everything I needed as in drugs ... screws back then in feltham didn’t give a fuck. Scrubs I had many opportunities to smoke brown (heroin) but st that point I stayed away from. I got clean from scrubs! B wing big up and be strong lads 🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯💯💪🏽💪🏽

Beautiful raw interview. I wondered while listening to this if Glen has ever been given a diagnosis of BPD, it might explain the fear around losing loved ones. A hard condition to live with ❤️🙏🏻

Literally almost went through what Glenn went through, this is so fucking inspirational. Best interview I've seen you do James. Glenn, you're an absolute inspiration mate. Thank you for this video.

WOW, What A Great Interview, I Always Drive Past Glens Gaff I Even Worked There Long Ago, But Mate What A Guy, Great Story And Well Done For Putting Yourself Out There And Helping Others, Well Done 👏👏

So many helpful interviews. Teaching me a lot.

Wow what a story, one of the best podcasts I've ever seen, this man is an inspiration. God bless you James, Glen and every other addict.

This was the best interview “Great stuff”

I like this guy,well done james for getting this done

I've found these about a month ago and watched a few now. All intriguing viewing and this is by far the best yet to me. I think even those of us who don't deem we've got addiction problems as such, still find we are fighting our mind at times. Interesting as well that this is about the 5th time in 2-3 weeks I've seen the power of now recommended. I've tried listening to it on youtube but can't digest it but I'm sure it's a sign for me to read it. Good luck Glenn and thanks James. keep em coming

This was the best interview I’ve listened to it hit me hard! I related to almost everything thing he said. Was like a free therapy session. Thank you for sharing your story

That brought a tear to my eye.Respect to the two of you.

I'm a recovering drug addict and totally understand tthe connection between you guys....I wrk a soild program....12step.and whn anyone ask me" how long have you been clean"I always say "since I woke up this morning"i live in the day as my action tell my story today....awareness,integrity,honesty(with self)and giving bk to a society I did nothing but took frm and helpping other addict/ppl that want help is how life is for me today...so hearing you guys talk was fucking beautiful!!!!thank you so much for this video and I hope God might get us to cross paths one day as we can do so much for eachother(3 of us).....plus moving bk to Essex with in the nxt yr.....love you James boy!!!keep up what it is yr doing as it shines frm you...xxx big love xxx matt xxx

This interview was fucking inspiring going through my own battle with addiction, this really helped me alot , everything he's saying I can relate too no bullshit , keep it up James brilliant, love from Ireland🇮🇪

Superb Stuff - if only the Corporation that charges everyone 155 quid a year did more of this material, the world would be a much better place

James great interview very open and honest addiction is a real serious problem and for some1 to admit and be honest. By sharing his story is commendable especially for everyone person you help God Bless

James, you should name your show... "James English too much reality" I know it's crap. But, you're a legend for getting these people to explain what it's all about 👍👍👍

Omg only just had this come up on my tl, it was so poignant. What a lovely humble guy you are Glenn, we're honoured to hear your message & story. So glad Jesus gave you back to your family when he took your hand 😪 Coke starts as a social drug but its no fun when it's a party for one, was there a long time myself. You're fab too James, great listener & conversationalist 😎

I'm 30 with 2 little girls iv got my demons struggle everyday sometimes I don't know what I can do life's tuff but this podcast was brilliant giving me some things to think about massive respect bro hopefully be me 1 day

Amazing interview and Glen so honest.

"Its nt hw u start, bt hw u end!!" This hit me 4 some reason...

Loved the honesty of both James and Glenn in this interview..Great to see James getting some identification as the interview goes on ..great listening 👌

Wow what a story and having the courage to speak out
