Same im an addict! Booze/recreational drugs/gambling/women. 40 years of age now. I choose gym/hiking/lone wolf off the grid lifestyle. The best way to heal is to pull away from toxic people toxic situations and put yourself first. Day at a time.
Your point of being a lone wolf resonates with me pal you have to learn how to say no to others it’s not their fault you have addiction problems but a true friend would never ask you to go back to your old ways . Being a lone wolf cuts all that out well it did for me and it showed me who I really am as a person I’m so much happier now away from alcohol and drugs and fighting I’m so happy but yet I’m so quiet too I think peace is what I needed good luck on your journey my friend
Danny , you can save so many young kids who need direction in your area , you would be an amazing mentor to train kids in boxing , the satisfaction that would give wouldn’t be incredible , hopefully some one will contact you to ask you to do something like that , good luck my friend 🇮🇪☘️
I'm not an addict but I've got severe depression and when it's bad it's bad. Going to the gym is my medicine. It takes a bigger man to admit his faults. Keep strong pal
Danny you know what you have to do mate. I’m coming up 3 years clean in January. As much as you are a warrior in the ring the biggest battle is outside. You have to take yourself away from the environment you are In. Even the circles, I’m not saying all people are bad but we have both lived where we needed change. You have such a bright future and the way you speak and how you present yourself you could save your own life and so many. You got this.
Your not always my cup of tea, but you've excellent insight of yourself, your good enough to recognise that and put something in action. As a fellow addict the games it plays with your head to do more is messed up
Thank you for sharing this, takes a strong man to do this. Im going through something similar, where a pitfall in life got me using again and in debt. Slowly recovering by setting myself small achievable goals, which brings some confidence. Something that may be of great help to anyone who is going through an overactive mind is wim hof breathing practices, its helped me for 4 years now by calming this overactive mind. You will notice a difference after 1 attempt but also it is something I have to do daily, normally in the morning as soon Im ready. Sending healing and love to everyone who reads this. Take care
Danny, I think you should expand your TH-cam career. You are a great talker, the people respond and resonate with you and you have a very good vocabulary. I'd love to see you out on the street interviewing people. You have a talent in front of the camera.
@@PaulThorpeOfficial I'd agree. Fuck knows where he gets it from, but he can talk, cos I guess it wasn't from school. Maybe getting smacked in the head has knocked a bit of vocabulary into him!
@@jamiewinfield8179 do you get help from anyone to get clean mate ? I'm lost , dunno where to start ! Can manage weeks clean , then fall apart with a tiny bit stress !?!? 🏴✌️
Danny ur a legend, to come on & say stuff that most people hide away from ur an inspiration to us all, yeah u may well b a f*ck up but at least ur honest with it, I absolutely love honesty & can't stand bullshit, I'm also an addict in recovery, 3 years clean or there abouts, but I can't lie I've hit the odd bump in the road, but how we deal with that is what makes us who we r, u will b fine I'm sure cos ur takin on the biggest fight of ur life right now so I can't c u backing down, not in ur nature bro😂 B strong brother & hold ur head up, u got this❤
Addict here too mate! Over 30 years on Alcohol, Cannabis, Amphetamines, Ecstasy, magic Mushrooms, Cocaine, LSD, Ketamine, GHB. The last 20 years of my addiction were Heroin and Crack which was by far the worst of all. I'm 6 or so years clean now. If I can do it mate, ANYONE can! Never EVER give up giving up! Just keep at it and it WILL happen mate! All my best wishes and luck in sending your way, you WILL succeed!
Mate reading you're comment just sounds like me. I'm 44 . Been clean 14 month . I'm struggling right now. Really struggling . I've not spoke to any one . Heads fried.
Your a good lad Danny. I've been following you for about a year now. I'm 60 and have the same demons. You should be proud of yourself. It takes a strong person to come out in public and be totally honest. Especially about drugs.Cheers mate. Your one of the good fellas. Trust God. You sharing your situation is definitely helping other struggling addicts out there. Good luck with your journey and God bless.
Just listened to you, I'm exactly the same, I struggle like fuck and completely understand what you were saying, where your coming from and what you mean, you've just given me so much inspiration - real talk- I'm a fuck up, I must have a degree in 'im a fuck up ' I do it so well, but to listen to another man tell the same struggles, and I mean the same, its like a weight lifted, to hear another man talk my same words , with my same struggles as his own words with his own struggles gives inspiration , it's spine chilling, thank you my friend , "footprint's" that verse, you've carried me , I know you understand what I'm on about, stay focused, keep strong and never give up giving up we got this Danny, blessings to you and your family 🙏❤️
Thanks for posting this on the borderline myself at the moment. I know this time of year brings back memories and temptations are close. Set clear and clean goals for the new year. Start today not tomorrow
Well done for speaking out and admitting your struggles. I am 3 years and 10 months sober and relapse scares me, my brain is like a washing machine most days I can’t sit still keep going Danny 💪🙏❤️
Danny it’s OK to be not OK mate . We can only try are best in life and look We’re you are now in life in such a small amount of time your a legend mate and it’s ok to speak out that’s what we all need to do as addicts speak out except help, So keep being you and get back on that horse you can do it as you have before . Stay safe & have a nice Christmas With the family ✌️💙 only god can judge you Danny 🙏🏻
hats off to you danny for making this video . I was in the same situation as you for over 20 years they way I managed to stay clean I'd distance my self from all my mates . even to this day they are still hard at it dont go on the drink . just stay in .. but drug free ..so all good 👍 stay strong mate .. youv got a belta lass beside you and some proud kids .. so just be careful mate ... all the best
It feels like something in your head is going 100mph but youre trying to keep the peace not having a direction, not been able to keep on top of this hidden force what is trying to unchain its self and satisfy that addiction. Scratch that itch. But you seem to doing great controlling it in your own way and it takes a big man to ask for help. ❤
I once messaged you Danny to say you could help so many people. You could visit schools and tell them your story. Kids now are vaping at 11 years old. The government has let our children down by allowing marketing of vapes like bubble gum. It’s an early start to addiction. You can help with this massively. I hope you read this.
Hanging up the gloves never turns out well for most, nevermind someone who has issues with drugs and alcohol. The highs need replaced, hope it all works out. Brave video, respect
Danny lad, the first step is realising and reaching out to get help. Your a good soul and everyday your presenting higher then you by showing up, and being you, flaws and all. More people see themselves in you then you realise, we are inspired with everything you do! I’m always here for you brother
Danny , i needed this ! My name's Stewart and I'm an addict ! I'm not ok ! Didn't want to say that ! If you can say it - so can I ! Change is needed ! All the best to you mate , your a good man 🏴✌️ Do we all feel the same ? 100mph brain , pushing everyone as far away as possible, knowing we are fuck ups ? First time I've ever heard someone describe exactly what's in my head ! It's not easy ! Too many good people lose everything to addiction , I lost it all 15 years ago , I can't lose it all again
@therealdannychristie8255 maybe the problem is I've never had faith Danny boy . Your lodged in my head right now , words have hit home ! Get yourself well and get that arse back fighting . Thank you for this video 🙏 🏴
Needed this I’m 20 months clean but I’m struggling so bad i keep thinking about picking up again just to get a break from my head for some peace while it lasts but I know it the wrong thing to do and I won’t. I’ve had a break down recently and currently not in work because of this but money for christams and paying my bills is going to be a struggle I’ve always worked and served my country but I’m a mess right now I’m trying my best and I hope my stars align soon. God bless Danny
Lack of purpose is a big problem for me too. Fair play for opening up pal. It's a lifetimes work healing, don't be too hard on yourself. I'm in a therapy. Every day is a chance to reset.
God has a great plan for you Danny i was addicted to heroin and crack for many years been clean since 2018 God has helped me stay clean he has a plan for our lives much respect God bless mate 😉
Danny I take my hat off to you mate 👍 it takes a lot to admit you’ve got a problem after all you’ve been through 🫶 chin up and you will pull yourself through this blip 🙏
Danny you’re an inspiration mate. You now will get the help. You have admitted it. You’re a good man and keep strong mate. Most importantly keep busy Danny. Time alone makes you think and Mabie use. You can do it Danny I have faith in you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You Mr Christie are a character... Hope you can win this mental battle & get the chimp of your shoulder 💯% Ever thought of after dinner speaking..? Your very very good at getting points over..And there's a quirky humour there as well.. Stay safe and have a great Xmas 🙏
Most honest person on this you tube respect you massively brother you different to all those with false thoughts and bullshit that travels from there brain and leaves there mouths take care Marra
Bro am 31 years clean by the grace of God the honesty you have Danny is recovery you no its action then more action but you already no that brother...my sponsor said many years ago he go's to 7 meetings a wk but he only needs 2 I said to him that doesn't make sense........He said I don't no wat 2 I need.😅❤
Smoked weed for over 20 years.. my heads a total shed! But when I try stop.. panic attacks start.. always expecting the worse all the time.. its easier to write it online to a total stranger .. I'm a addict.. life is a roll coaster and I'm just about ready to get off.. much love danny lad
I smoked weed daily for around 15 years, not touched it In 13 years now. Stopped cold turkey when we had our son. In my personal experience, I found the first month really difficult, irritable, restless, couldn't sleep properly. After the first month or so, it got a lot easier. If you have the will power, you can do it. What I would say though is that I was also using it for pain relief after a bad car accident which resulted in severe back pain and now that I'm off it, I'm now on prescription pain killers which also isn't good. Cannabis has its benefits if used correctly and from my experience, it's probably better than the prescription I'm on.
I’m the same mate I stopped for ages recently I’ve just started again and i don’t even really enjoy it. Where I stopped for ages my tolerance dropped like crazy and now when I smoke it’s too much. I also have to go out, smoke, then walk around for a bit so the guy I’m renting a room off doesn’t find out. I get paranoid as hell and can barely walk in a straight line it proper messes me up but after that part I go home and just feel numb it makes me forget everything but I don’t know why I’ve just started smoking again all of a sudden. Having a very stressful time recently and that’s probably why but it’s no good man..
Ur doing the right thing m8 ur reaching out n talking about it. Hopefully, it passes quickly for u, Danny, and much respect, and thank you for your honesty 🙏 odaat
I was addicted for a long time brother ,been clean for along time now but was stuck just day to day , recently found peace and closer to God, in the mountains and fells that are on our doorstep, probably not your thing but more than welcome to come along one day to see , keeps the head the quiet up there
Big up Danny for this honest you tube clip. Even though I don't have any addictions my saviour for my mental health is the woods fields and countryside most days. Take care and all the best.
My personal opinion on addiction is that the individual suffers from a obsessive compulsive disorder. The part of their brain obsesses over things and this can manifest through drugs, food, gambling, shopping etc. there’s definitely something addictive within drvgs that affects people with OCD but I believe that the individual will never be able to stop the way their brain obsesses over certain things especially drugs. However this can also be used in a positive context and I’ll explain: Many addicts will stop drugs, drink, etc but the part of their brain still remains obsessively thinking. So what’s worked for me is to use my OCD to focus on positive replacements like fitness, boxing etc, meditation, prayer and your brain will be sated as you’ll get that dopamine hit. Use your addiction to get addicted on positive things and you can become the best version of yourself using your cognitive condition to its advantage.
I can see the logic , healthy obsessions are better than unhealthy ones , but it's not the answer long term .. I used extreme exercise as an alternative to drink and drugs ..and it works great , but you are just exercising for the buzz and the chemicals it produces ...the moment you get an injury ..( which is bound to happen with excessive exercise) ...and you are back at it ! The real goal of recovery would be to get used to sealing with your emotions and issues without needing to distract , deflect or alter your mind ..be that through drink , drugs ..or excessive exercise! It's the same thing
I know exactly what your going through,it took me 30 year, to get there,once I hit 50 last year and my son getting older I thought enough is enough,buvidal injection was a life changer for me,total abstinence for a year now keep at it danny you'll get there.
Very honest of you this, Danny. I rake my hat to you for that, you are very honest about when you’re doing well, but also when you’re not👍🏼 Where’s Alice when you’re on these benders? Does she stay away to give you some time to blow off the steam or what?
I’m lucky in a way, I’m lucky that I’m so hopelessly addicted to alcohol I know I can’t have one. I’ve been there too many times before, I haven’t got another withdrawal in me. So there’s no bargaining with it anymore. I just don’t drink. ( took years to achieve sobriety mind.) The trouble is we’re still left with the reasons why we drank/used. We were trying to escape ourselves, our pain, our past, our trauma. And now we’re confronted with it on a daily basis with nowhere to hide. In many ways I’m just as f*cked up now as when I was drinking myself to death. Anyway, we’ll keep crawling forward, an inch at a time. Good to hear from you mate !
Ive listened to this so many time the last couple days im on 9days bender and loosong the plot but you need to do a vhannel your words are powerful my brother. God bless you danny we will get it in the end. And money is the route of it all im sick when im skint and when ive got bangers its game over. Your a top lad and what you have done by doing this is fucking brave boi. Your a top fella stay up and stay winning always love and serenity my boy 💯💛👊
Good on you Dan for being honest, I’m nearly 4 years clean and have stopped going meeting, listening to you have given kick up the arse to get back in the rooms so thank you mate
Same here pal i addmitted to myself im a functioning alcoholic, i used diazys and a bit of will power and did a month off, someone offered me a drink a week ago and ive had a drink everyday since, ive been addicted to drink, thc vapes and zoppers, its hard as im not hard up for money too. Hope you go on ok bro
Tht someone who offered you the drink.. Is clearly not you're friend pal... Unless its a random joe who was unaware of you're drink problem.. Hope you get it together anyways matey
I still look up to ya me man no matter the situation. Everyone got their struggles, including myself! It's how we handle them that matters.. and doing what your doing should help, but please stop classing yourself as an addict.. denying that is the 1st step. Your a warrior.. no addict here, just a warrior with no war to fight.. try find the peace in life brother, it's hard but doable..
Same boat myself mate and the truth is nobody gives a fuck it's a personal battle and one you face alone and alone only !!! Stay strong and stick with it
@@therealdannychristie8255 spot on dannyboy I’ve been a cocaine addict for 12 years and I can’t beat it,your a inspiration to me big love my friend it I
The fact you are on here excepting you are you and knowing you have struggles is amazing to see due to your big following .all these roads we go down in life are so hard but even if we feel we fail because we have dipped back it's the seeing we have dipped backwards is the key and getting back up to climb that mountin because every mountain climb starts with that first step . It's videos like this that can help others seeing somone like you leading the way . Thanks brother 🙏
Love from dublin man iv been battling class a addiction since 13 im 35 now to tell the truth im in the best place iv been.iv learned a lot im going the spiritual way man seems to be working its just weird happens out of knowhere.just keep the head up a blow out here and there but moderation fam
Youre a very very strong man mate, the fact you have come on here and acknowleged your position instead of totally derailing shows how far you have come since I first started watching you. Youre helping people here too. Youre a diamond mate, never going back there!
Genuine offer this Danny. We don't know eachother. We've never met. I just watch your content and follow your journey. I live in St Annes. I believe you're in Carlisle. I'll put fuel in my tank and take time out in the next few days and I'll drive over to the service's on the M6 near Lancaster. It's probably half way for us both. I'm off the streets of North Manchester originally and its been a long and hard journey to get where I am today. I'll come and meet you. Talk. Listen. Total stranger I am to you Danny but I'll travel to see you. Maybe, just maybe I can help. Genuine offer from an old skool raggamuffin who has lived through a lot of horrible stuff. I don't want anything from you. I only want to help. Here if needed Danny. Much love
Ur doing well dan dnt ever tel ya self otherwise u sometimes in life u need to relapse some times to no that that life u once lived and no how dark it gets and u no u will never go bk there permanently it sometimes needs relapse for u to remember how bad it was I wud not advice it but dnt b two hard on ya self praying for ya brother I'm going trough the same thing you got it Danny I'm sure
You're not alone buddy, we're only human and when it comes to addiction it can effect us in many ways, me it was alcohol and various drugs, then when I stopped I became obsessed with alsorts of things you just need to find that one thing that you can occupy yourself with until what you are looking for falls in your lap. Stay strong buddy it will happen 👍
a true champion in & outside of the ring, a true inspiration & as real as they get danny christy you are an inspiration a real man, nothing but respect
Listen brother stop punishing urself addiction is addiction and you are a hero in all our eyes stay strong and take help from others much love brother 👊🏻💪🏻
Chin up Charver, from a fellow Carlisle ex addict, ive been there myself mate. We all slip up and relapse, dosnt matter how many times we slip up its about recognising where we are in life and keep moving forward, youve got this mush. Your an inspiration mate dont forget that. Keep being blessed, youve got this, ne divvies here chore 👍🏼. Merry xmas.
Danny's a former UK BKFC Champion who fought for a world title. Darren Tills last opponent was Mohammed Mutie "exactly" Stop saying DCs a nobody who doesn't stand a chance.
U know just your honesty is going to help someone else choose that change today too Dan. Staying sober is always going to be your biggest fight of your fighting career.
A lot of former soldiers miss that adrenaline and direction when they leave the military. Maybe you could look into coaching combatives/ striking to organisations? Best of luck from a former US Paratrooper
To clarify, I was using the soldier analogy in reference to your recent retirement from bare knuckle. Warriors both, in different arenas. Similar issues
Love your honesty Danny, resonants loudly mate & you'll totally doing the right thing. A slips a slip we all do it but with what your saying your addresing it so onwards & upwards my man. 1❤
Addiction is giving
up everything for one thing,
Recovery is giving up one thing for everything
You know what needs to be done Danny ✊🏻

Too many good people lose everything to addiction , I lost it all 15 years ago , I can't lose it all again
God bless you brother keep the faith
@therealdannychristie8255 maybe the problem is I've never had faith Danny boy . Your lodged in my head right now , words have hit home ! Get yourself well and get that arse back fighting . Thank you for this video 🙏 🏴

Needed this I’m 20 months clean but I’m struggling so bad i keep thinking about picking up again just to get a break from my head for some peace while it lasts but I know it the wrong thing to do and I won’t. I’ve had a break down recently and currently not in work because of this but money for christams and paying my bills is going to be a struggle I’ve always worked and served my country but I’m a mess right now I’m trying my best and I hope my stars align soon. God bless Danny
Keep the faith brother things get better
Lack of purpose is a big problem for me too. Fair play for opening up pal. It's a lifetimes work healing, don't be too hard on yourself. I'm in a therapy. Every day is a chance to reset.
Beautiful honesty ,great content be true to yourself an keep up the fight ,all the best in your journey .
Big love for this DC, keep it moving over Xmas and NY mate, grips everyone this time of year me more than most! Just gotta keep ya head on 🙏💙
God has a great plan for you Danny i was addicted to heroin and crack for many years been clean since 2018 God has helped me stay clean he has a plan for our lives much respect God bless mate 😉
First stage of recovery is admitting the truth to your self. You're a real good communicator bro. Cheers
Danny I take my hat off to you mate 👍 it takes a lot to admit you’ve got a problem after all you’ve been through 🫶 chin up and you will pull yourself through this blip 🙏
What an absolute gent. Stumbled on this channel, but now I;m subscribed. Wishing you all the best chap, stick with it.
Danny you’re an inspiration mate. You now will get the help. You have admitted it. You’re a good man and keep strong mate. Most importantly keep busy Danny. Time alone makes you think and Mabie use. You can do it Danny I have faith in you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You Mr Christie are a character...
Hope you can win this mental battle & get the chimp of your shoulder 💯%
Ever thought of after dinner speaking..?
Your very very good at getting points over..And there's a quirky humour there as well..
Stay safe and have a great Xmas 🙏
Most honest person on this you tube respect you massively brother you different to all those with false thoughts and bullshit that travels from there brain and leaves there mouths take care Marra
Bro am 31 years clean by the grace of God the honesty you have Danny is recovery you no its action then more action but you already no that brother...my sponsor said many years ago he go's to 7 meetings a wk but he only needs 2 I said to him that doesn't make sense........He said I don't no wat 2 I need.😅❤
Smoked weed for over 20 years.. my heads a total shed! But when I try stop.. panic attacks start.. always expecting the worse all the time.. its easier to write it online to a total stranger .. I'm a addict.. life is a roll coaster and I'm just about ready to get off.. much love danny lad
I smoked weed daily for around 15 years, not touched it In 13 years now. Stopped cold turkey when we had our son. In my personal experience, I found the first month really difficult, irritable, restless, couldn't sleep properly. After the first month or so, it got a lot easier. If you have the will power, you can do it. What I would say though is that I was also using it for pain relief after a bad car accident which resulted in severe back pain and now that I'm off it, I'm now on prescription pain killers which also isn't good. Cannabis has its benefits if used correctly and from my experience, it's probably better than the prescription I'm on.
I’m the same mate I stopped for ages recently I’ve just started again and i don’t even really enjoy it. Where I stopped for ages my tolerance dropped like crazy and now when I smoke it’s too much. I also have to go out, smoke, then walk around for a bit so the guy I’m renting a room off doesn’t find out. I get paranoid as hell and can barely walk in a straight line it proper messes me up but after that part I go home and just feel numb it makes me forget everything but I don’t know why I’ve just started smoking again all of a sudden. Having a very stressful time recently and that’s probably why but it’s no good man..
Ur doing the right thing m8 ur reaching out n talking about it. Hopefully, it passes quickly for u, Danny, and much respect, and thank you for your honesty 🙏 odaat
I was addicted for a long time brother ,been clean for along time now but was stuck just day to day , recently found peace and closer to God, in the mountains and fells that are on our doorstep, probably not your thing but more than welcome to come along one day to see , keeps the head the quiet up there
Big up Danny for this honest you tube clip. Even though I don't have any addictions my saviour for my mental health is the woods fields and countryside most days. Take care and all the best.
My personal opinion on addiction is that the individual suffers from a obsessive compulsive disorder. The part of their brain obsesses over things and this can manifest through drugs, food, gambling, shopping etc. there’s definitely something addictive within drvgs that affects people with OCD but I believe that the individual will never be able to stop the way their brain obsesses over certain things especially drugs.
However this can also be used in a positive context and I’ll explain:
Many addicts will stop drugs, drink, etc but the part of their brain still remains obsessively thinking. So what’s worked for me is to use my OCD to focus on positive replacements like fitness, boxing etc, meditation, prayer and your brain will be sated as you’ll get that dopamine hit. Use your addiction to get addicted on positive things and you can become the best version of yourself using your cognitive condition to its advantage.
Well put m8.
Well worded ❤
I can see the logic , healthy obsessions are better than unhealthy ones , but it's not the answer long term .. I used extreme exercise as an alternative to drink and drugs ..and it works great , but you are just exercising for the buzz and the chemicals it produces ...the moment you get an injury ..( which is bound to happen with excessive exercise) ...and you are back at it ! The real goal of recovery would be to get used to sealing with your emotions and issues without needing to distract , deflect or alter your mind ..be that through drink , drugs ..or excessive exercise! It's the same thing
You’re still inspiring and a great role model to many many men like ourselves. Thank you for sharing.
Hope you find the strength to get back to where you were bro and beyond!! ❤
I know exactly what your going through,it took me 30 year, to get there,once I hit 50 last year and my son getting older I thought enough is enough,buvidal injection was a life changer for me,total abstinence for a year now keep at it danny you'll get there.
Very honest of you this, Danny. I rake my hat to you for that, you are very honest about when you’re doing well, but also when you’re not👍🏼
Where’s Alice when you’re on these benders? Does she stay away to give you some time to blow off the steam or what?
You have strength Danny, but I think your biggest weapon is knowing who you are and your astounding honesty about yourself. Keep marching 👊
keep going were endlessly proud of you danny 💪🏽❤️
106 days clean here. "Once an addict, always an addict" - I agree with this statement and relate. Good luck in your recovery DC.
Well done mate 👏👏👏
I’m lucky in a way, I’m lucky that I’m so hopelessly addicted to alcohol I know I can’t have one. I’ve been there too many times before, I haven’t got another withdrawal in me. So there’s no bargaining with it anymore. I just don’t drink. ( took years to achieve sobriety mind.)
The trouble is we’re still left with the reasons why we drank/used. We were trying to escape ourselves, our pain, our past, our trauma. And now we’re confronted with it on a daily basis with nowhere to hide.
In many ways I’m just as f*cked up now as when I was drinking myself to death.
Anyway, we’ll keep crawling forward, an inch at a time.
Good to hear from you mate !
💯
Ive listened to this so many time the last couple days im on 9days bender and loosong the plot but you need to do a vhannel your words are powerful my brother. God bless you danny we will get it in the end. And money is the route of it all im sick when im skint and when ive got bangers its game over. Your a top lad and what you have done by doing this is fucking brave boi. Your a top fella stay up and stay winning always love and serenity my boy 💯💛👊
Respect to u danny for saying it as it is .

Takes a real man to come out and say what you have Danny.keep at it you will get clean again.
Good on you Dan for being honest, I’m nearly 4 years clean and have stopped going meeting, listening to you have given kick up the arse to get back in the rooms so thank you mate
Same here pal i addmitted to myself im a functioning alcoholic, i used diazys and a bit of will power and did a month off, someone offered me a drink a week ago and ive had a drink everyday since, ive been addicted to drink, thc vapes and zoppers, its hard as im not hard up for money too. Hope you go on ok bro
Tht someone who offered you the drink.. Is clearly not you're friend pal... Unless its a random joe who was unaware of you're drink problem.. Hope you get it together anyways matey
@seanpaul1625 thanks pal
I still look up to ya me man no matter the situation. Everyone got their struggles, including myself! It's how we handle them that matters.. and doing what your doing should help, but please stop classing yourself as an addict.. denying that is the 1st step. Your a warrior.. no addict here, just a warrior with no war to fight.. try find the peace in life brother, it's hard but doable..
Same boat myself mate and the truth is nobody gives a fuck it's a personal battle and one you face alone and alone only !!! Stay strong and stick with it
We’re born alone and we’ll die alone
Ain't that the truth, happy xmas Danny
@@therealdannychristie8255 spot on dannyboy I’ve been a cocaine addict for 12 years and I can’t beat it,your a inspiration to me big love my friend it
I
The fact you are on here excepting you are you and knowing you have struggles is amazing to see due to your big following .all these roads we go down in life are so hard but even if we feel we fail because we have dipped back it's the seeing we have dipped backwards is the key and getting back up to climb that mountin because every mountain climb starts with that first step . It's videos like this that can help others seeing somone like you leading the way . Thanks brother 🙏
U ONLY HUMAN, DANNY GIVE YR SELF A BRAKE, U DO MAKE SENCE, , I BEEN SUB FR WILE, NOW, AND LOOK HOW FAR WE COME WHEN U LOOK BK 💪💪

Danny i think youre my dad. I miss my dad and you remind me of him. I wishhe was hear today. Love you
Youre a very very strong man mate, the fact you have come on here and acknowleged your position instead of totally derailing shows how far you have come since I first started watching you. Youre helping people here too. Youre a diamond mate, never going back there!
Genuine offer this Danny. We don't know eachother. We've never met. I just watch your content and follow your journey.
I live in St Annes. I believe you're in Carlisle. I'll put fuel in my tank and take time out in the next few days and I'll drive over to the service's on the M6 near Lancaster.
It's probably half way for us both. I'm off the streets of North Manchester originally and its been a long and hard journey to get where I am today.
I'll come and meet you. Talk. Listen. Total stranger I am to you Danny but I'll travel to see you. Maybe, just maybe I can help. Genuine offer from an old skool raggamuffin who has lived through a lot of horrible stuff. I don't want anything from you. I only want to help. Here if needed Danny. Much love

Keep The Faith Danny, God Bless You!! Peace From London!! 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve been sober 7 years and this was a really helpful reminder for me to double down on the 12 steps. Thank you 🙏
You're not alone buddy, we're only human and when it comes to addiction it can effect us in many ways, me it was alcohol and various drugs, then when I stopped I became obsessed with alsorts of things you just need to find that one thing that you can occupy yourself with until what you are looking for falls in your lap. Stay strong buddy it will happen 👍
a true champion in & outside of the ring, a true inspiration & as real as they get danny christy you are an inspiration a real man, nothing but respect
Listen brother stop punishing urself addiction is addiction and you are a hero in all our eyes stay strong and take help from others much love brother 👊🏻💪🏻
Oioi Dan lad. I was in Durham wid u years ago. I was the cleaner on the wing. I put the backy under your door for from that Carlisle lad
@@Geordiekris66 induction wing 🤣 I remember, hope ya well mate
@therealdannychristie8255 Aye brother lol 👍
Chin up Charver, from a fellow Carlisle ex addict, ive been there myself mate. We all slip up and relapse, dosnt matter how many times we slip up its about recognising where we are in life and keep moving forward, youve got this mush. Your an inspiration mate dont forget that. Keep being blessed, youve got this, ne divvies here chore 👍🏼. Merry xmas.
Danny's a former UK BKFC Champion who fought for a world title. Darren Tills last opponent was Mohammed Mutie "exactly" Stop saying DCs a nobody who doesn't stand a chance.
The guys an absolute legend man always looked up to him n genuinely get concerned about the lad in situation like this 🙏
You know what to do lad. You've said you are not OK and you've been honest. Respect.
You feeling guilty from doing bad things to womenn
U know just your honesty is going to help someone else choose that change today too Dan. Staying sober is always going to be your biggest fight of your fighting career.
A lot of former soldiers miss that adrenaline and direction when they leave the military. Maybe you could look into coaching combatives/ striking to organisations? Best of luck from a former US Paratrooper
They also use DMT for past trauma ptsd 🫡
To clarify, I was using the soldier analogy in reference to your recent retirement from bare knuckle. Warriors both, in different arenas. Similar issues
" Rather rob sheds for lawnmowers" Funny as foook, best of luck with your mission ;)
Im a addict my self Danny still fighting everyday love u Danny 🙏
Love your honesty Danny, resonants loudly mate & you'll totally doing the right thing. A slips a slip we all do it but with what your saying your addresing it so onwards & upwards my man.
