“It’s not the guy you see the next day” hits hard. The amount of times I’ve got on the sesh then locked myself away for days until I was comfortable being out in the open again. Sober for two years now hope to keep it that way never felt so good in my life now
Been there so many times too mate. It’s a horrible place to be. But there’s always light at the end of the tunnel! Just gotta get through that stage and then make sure you don’t go back!
The only thing harder than building good habits is breaking bad ones. And when your getting sober you’re doing both at the same time. Good luck to my sober buddies ❤
Been listening to this podcast every day for the last two weeks. The lads I’m working with went to the pub after work today and asked me if I wanted to go. For the first time EVER in my life I said no! I feel a bit conflicted because part of me wishes I went and had a couple of points and a laugh but I know it’s time for me to change. So thanks.
hi dan i love this podcast and i also am in sobriety i was a normal housewife who became addicted to painkillers and if i’m honest would love to share my story on a platform like yours just to make people aware how addiction can come not just in the form on a street drug love you and thanks for helping spread awareness your amazing x
keep it up everyone, we're all going to be better mentally and physically on this sober life. 6 years going strong myself. i can relate to what he said about hospitality too, my drinking was at its worst when i was working bartending, just getting smashed all day every day, now i got into IT and its completely different.
Brilliant stuff. There is no moderation if you have ever binged to this level, for the reasons stated - once you are intoxicated you cannot apply the rules. One thing not mentioned is the huge financial cost of this lifestyle! Dapper is one of the funniest guys in the UK in my book. Good one William, really enjoyed your talk and will follow up on your work.
26:58 I was about to say weightlifting really helped me with anxiety and stress... but also eliminating coffee made me 100x more calmer. I would take caffeine religiously since I was a teen so I think that def messes up your chemical/hormones... even though it's perfectly legal. Anxiety and coffee are a no go
Yes caffeine isn’t good at all!! Makes me so anxious. Haven’t had it for years now apart from the odd cup of tea and it reminds me why I can’t drink it 😂 great podcast again mate, like this guest a lot, top bloke
I really hope I’m wrong because I’m rooting for Dan during this and have been really enjoying these podcasts but I reckon he’s definitely not himself here. Not to judge in anyway but if you have slipped Dan, don’t worry just get back to it pal and keep doing what you’re doing. You’re helping a lot of people, more than you know.
I hate to see people always posting negatively when people are trying to do positive things,, dont read to much into the comments dan,, keep doing what your doing mate,, unfortunately you will never please everyone 😂
Almost all of what was said here except the casino stuff is relatable to me. People will always say your not an actual alcoholic and you'll be better next time after this. But I don't want to drink anymore, red flags when someone tries to temp you knowing what your like.
Fuckin love youn intro mate 😂 You can tell you're feeling naturally energised and sober too - well done buddy, really thrilled to have found your podcast and channel and look dorward ro allowing it to influencing and helping me flip the acript once and for all brother 👊
Brilliant podcast. Awesome guest, again loads of advice 👍 great ideas of how to deal with situations. I wish him all the best and hope he carries on doing well. I can relate to this dude on so many levels. Sometimes, I look back on how bad I got. 14-year-old, so out of it crawling on my hands and knees down my local area throwing up. I feel so embarrassed 😳 about all of it growing up 😅 Thought I was a bad ass when really I was a sad ass. You're doing amazing Dan, looking great 👍
Another brilliant show and good guest! Dapper top class comically as always! 💯😂 But sensible and serious at the right times too! I’m on Day 19 and this is the most inspirational show for me to watch right now! 💪👏💯❤️
I remember sniffing all night,then flying to see me parents in Spain. Have struggled my whole life with every addiction going..think am nearly there now...think!!
Loved Dan since the vine days and reading the comments it seems split between people if Dan is on something on this episode. Although i dont think he is on cocaine however i do think he is extremely sensitive to caffeine that mimics some cocaine tells i.e the sniffs, the uhms when his guest was talking and the breaths half way through his sentances. I think with an adhd mind his concentration kept going to the meeting he has after. This made the episode feel rushed and that showed in his guest who upped his pace to finish sentances as the episode progressed. From a complete place of love and wanting nothing but the absolute best for Dan and his family my advice would be to make sure these conversations take place when there is nothing planned for after and no caffeine before the talk, and lose the mobile off the table during filming. It genuinely hurts to see that so many are assuming its gear without considering what else it could be.
I was on the sesh way too Hadd for about 4 years and went at the peak during lockdown. Having zoom meeting with camera off while I'm out of my head pissed and geared up. Haven't had gear since December. Can't say I've quit for good. Just not on the sesh anymore.
Dapper most likely is wired and on gear on this interview, but don't judge him we all slip and relapse, me included. He probably had a bad day and regretted it soon as he sobered up . His intentions are still good. And his heart still wants sobriety.
Is There any Apps that pwople would recommend to use for going Sober??. I used to do cocaine and now I just drink ocassionally but i have a really bad relationship so i end up getting wrecked and it then effects me for days after.
Dan is hyper anyway, mixed with excitement nerves and coffee he’s even more hyper, understandable people thinking it’s the gear tho and that’s coming from the fear of seeing him relapse
Just some constructive criticism coming from a fellow addict Dan First of all, great work, I can really see how much this means to you and the energy and passion you put into this podcast and activities surrounding it. However a couple of pointers. I think AT TIMES the podcast comes across a bit too 2023, ADHD, Mental Health, OCD, Anxiety etc As addicts in recovery we recognise that the world is a fucking hard place and it affects everyone, only we decided to numb these feeling by dabbling in addictive substances, whilst being more predisposed to addiction prior. I think perhaps focusing on people’s own experiences instead of trying to (understandably) put everything in a nice neat package and label it ‘X’. Also, the podcast NEEDS to be more diverse if you want to take this to another level. Whilst I understand your comment about ‘illegal immigrants’ to the Pastor wasn’t meant with malice or bigotry, it did have a level of ignorance attached to it that adds a level of discredit to what you are trying to achieve. You have had 17 guests on, 16 have been White and 15 have been White males. Again, addiction isn’t a neatly packaged product, it affects each person and demographic differently. Addiction from a White male’s perspective will be different from a South Asian male’s. You must look to widen your audience and get guests on with different lives experiences. This is coming from a 30 year old White male. Anyway, all the best mate. Good luck. Ben x
@@gavrowe1095 Where are your statistics backing up that statement? The facts are there, it’s a shame your white fragility is an obstacle to understanding addiction on a wider societal level.
Alternatively you can just carry on doing what you’re doing. I’m sure this is an inclusive space, I appreciate the honesty shown and it’s helped me talk openly. Thankyou
If we try that it’s basically living a double life it’s physically and mentally draining being around other people sober and talking it’s the way forward and a weight off our shoulders 💚ODAT 💚👏
I think his sober vibe is the same as his cocaine vibe but a toned down version. So I can only image how he is on the gear 😂. But you re right if he is slipping he should be open about it and not hide it.
@@Tigolbitties69 he seems twitchy/hyperactive, and feels less authentic/human/able to connect. I have a friend that take coke and tries to hide it, looks just like this. I’ve seen other episodes, didn’t get the same vibe.
Once a cokehead always a cokehead couldnt pay me too touch the stuff been raving for 20 years pills acid shrooms all good never touched gear always knew there was rat posion inside proper put me off since a kid
I don't want to seem horrible. But you look like you've fallen off the wagon in this. Sorry if toy have and no judgement but you look wired on this. To me anyway... x much love
@Jamie Stewart Answer to your question Jamie, I'm not entirely sure, what I do know is I've witnessed people have to inject arteries in their groin because their veins have collapsed due to years of daily heroin use, I've also known a close friend die from cirrhosis of the liver due to chronic alcohol abuse, do I think these fresh faced clowns doing podcasts had 1 too many lines of Charlie on a weekend and felt sorry for themselves, absolutely, do I class them as addicts?, absolutely not, but I suppose it's all relative to your own background/experiences
With mentality like that if addicts who wasn’t that bad thought the same they’d be like the people you know. I’ve lost many from alcohol but I still know I’m an addict because you cannot stop. Once you start you will not stop ever and it creeps back it taking everything from you. I haven’t lost everything yet but I know where I’ll lead due to loosing very close people to liver failure. Such a sad comment to see they aren’t fresh faced clowns they’ve looked shit and felt suicidal as have I but sobriety makes you look fresh faced and happy. This comment is genuinely the problem.
@daisymcquade7847 you're missing my point daisy, I'm not referring to addicts, I'm referring to muppets who can't handle a few lines of coke on a weekend and start doing vlogs on recovery, I lost a brother to addiction, there's a difference
“It’s not the guy you see the next day” hits hard. The amount of times I’ve got on the sesh then locked myself away for days until I was comfortable being out in the open again. Sober for two years now hope to keep it that way never felt so good in my life now

"you merely adopted the sesh, I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see sobriety until I was a man and by then it was blinding"
Alright then Bane 😂

Bless ya!
Pub quiz night last night... One of the tables team names was Menace to Sobriety! I have a pic to prove it and this was all the way in Australia :)
Another great guest! Thanks to you and your team for these videos.
Fuck the haters, keep up your momentum mate 👌 👍
Dapper isn’t in gear here , he’s just on fire with his bants 🔥one of my fave podcasts and fav guests he has some good stories !!! Love it daps
Thank you!
Fantastic video again I hope u keep these weekly uploads coming for along as possible very inspirational and they help me stay on track
Keep fighting the good fight....prayers from ireland to anyone who is struggling from a horrible coke addiction..ive been there..torture..

I don’t think Dan was ever a dry sniffer
It will be adhd I would bet. Cocaine suppresses adha and it will have come back ten fold
Please do sober dating for geeezers !!!! I’m 32 and single and there’s no where to meet people

That's the one who's really struggling. That really hit home.
Absolutely love this pod cast!! I cant wait to check out the TTotalTrail pod cast
yes dan loving this mate , these podcasts are unreal

So good
@Scotty Pablo he's not on gear
@Scotty Pablo what are you even going on about 😆 he's not on it.
Amazing podcast. Can relate to all of it
Love this episode, I'm so excited to continue on my sober journey 😊
loving the podcast dapper, keep it up mate.
Can you get this guy on again, you him and Kirk !
Brilliant podcast, mate. I have a mental story myself.
This was so good nice one fellas so interesting ❤
Glad you enjoyed it Lou
Great pod this one
Awesome podcast
I’m still fighting the demons but getting better 💪
I just did 30 days and then went back this weekend- went out with the wrong 'friend' back to square one. What is the point
I can relate a lot to this
Really enjoyed this interview.. good to hear from a normal every day type of guy that most people can relate too 👌
Yes Daniel all the best mush 💎🔥💎
we cannot... It may take years but it always ends up catching us up.
Is There any Apps that pwople would recommend to use for going Sober??. I used to do cocaine and now I just drink ocassionally but i have a really bad relationship so i end up getting wrecked and it then effects me for days after.

Them come downs off of a 3 dayer , spent shed loads of money and ticked shed loads … torture
Amazong stuff guys
What a thumbnail lmao
7 months alcohol free 🙏
Crying on the sofa lol 😆
❤🙌🙏
I can see the weight coming off you face. good work on the training.
Why didn’t he just get a half Oz, instead of 12 g?
9:11
Dapper, it’s time to get in the rooms, get a sponsor and do the steps.
Bit gutted my fundraiser got taken down from the comments but great podcast either way
AA slogan says there is a way out
🙏
Novice I done 25 sad horrible years drinking and sniffing!
If we try that it’s basically living a double life it’s physically and mentally draining being around other people sober and talking it’s the way forward and a weight off our shoulders 💚ODAT 💚👏
what about every fucking day
?

I thought the same
Tell it from a mile away… talking about gear to a ex addict all the time in this podcast is only going to go one way.
It’s to relaunch his Stand-up career,tho I agree he looks a bit wired eh..
He's not present like in the other interviews
i didn't see it, probably because I haven't been around too many coke heads to know
It's called the sesh, don't put yourself in the same bracket as addicts, it's insulting to those who've lived through real addiction
What constitutes 'real addiction'?
