What a great video, fantastic and very useful information.
I am 29 months free from cannabis addiction, because of SMART Recovery, and CGL (Change grow live)
I am now a SMART Facilitator myself since January 2024, the tools have helped me tremendously in day to day life, snd now volunteering for CGL as a Facilitator I have found purpose again in life, and helping others with addiction recovery is so rewarding.
I came to this video because of an email from SMART mentioning Brandon working with SMART
Keep up the great work Brandon what a true inspiration and humble gent you are. Thank you

Another great watch this Daniel. Cheers
Thanks Jack
Absolutely loved this, I loved the fact that you covered anxiety, negative thinking, neuroscience & why people find it hard to connect with feelings. Practicing meditation, mindfulness and using hypnotherapy to change new neursl pathways is they key, but it takes practice. Changing your thinking & behaviours takes practice. I also loved Brandon saying that anxiety won't kill you, learn how to deal with the triggers.
Well done guys and thank you x
Thank you so much for that Lorna. It’s great to know which aspects you enjoyed!

Really enjoyed this eppy. Brandon is such an inspiration. Had the pleasure to spend time with him on a few occasions. I credit him as one of the people who inspired me to quit my boozing over 4 years ago now for good. Top human x
Really glad you enjoyed this one Ally! Brandon is a great guy!

thanks for watching
Thoroughly enjoying this one 🎉❤
Glad you enjoyed it Ejay!
Dan this one is on another level , big up Brandon, keep em coming , this one hit hard ❤
thanks mate and thank you for watching
Please keep doing these videos. My brother took his own life in late 2022, he was drinking and isolated with mental health issues. I am not the best at communicating, but I feel if I had shown him your channel he would have been inspired to see the light at the end of the tunnel from people who have lived it and tell it like it is. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing mate.
Again smashing chat happy Monday to you all let’s go get this week ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻
Thanks Ryan! Have a great week mate
Brandon definitely get Dan on board somehow I'm a girl now a geezer but have followed him since Christmas and his content podcast has actually become part of my routine to stay clean
In my younger years i loved taking drugs. Raves were my spiritual home from 1991. However i feel lucky, yes lucky they brought me to my knees. Recovery has been the most rewarding, loving, and exciting times since i got clean in 2002. I am truly grateful. Thank you for the podcasts, great to hear others and get the message out that we do recover 🙏😎
So glad you’re enjoying these podcasts Looney
Had a few stumbles since new yr but bck on track n clean again. Can't thank u enough again Dan for what ur doing. Love u Brandon , i was born in '85 lol but def huge in my young yrs thank you for sharing
Well done Jane
Great podcast ❤
Your on to a winner bruv... Superb podcast
Glad you’re enjoying the pod mate!
Went to see Brandon Block and Alex P many times at Camden Palace. Love him, found this very inspiring x
Great vid Dan.. the part about the arterial fibrillation was very interesting mate ... spot on
Hang in there mate
thanks mate
Back to me CA meeting tomorrow.Time to get well.great podcast mate.addiction is the real world pandemic
defo mate, and good luck
Dan don't let anyone tell you you're preaching mate, you've found sobriety and you're trying to help others "see the light". You can see how excited you are about it and if that comes across as preachy to some then f**k 'em.
We need more people like yourself using their platforms for good. The guests you're having on, it could be said, are out of the ordinary, and that in itself is a breath of fresh air.
It would be awesome to see you interview scientists in the future who advocate for medicinal use of certain drugs too. There's a lot of research going into psychodelics and microdosing to help people with mental health issues. I think this would be a great area to explore for your viewers too.
Take it easy and keep up the great work 🙏
I really appreciate that thank you so much. Means a lot to get such positivity about these podcasts
Quality interview Dan, respect to the Block, if only all celebrities woke up and all of a sudden had the same mindset, sadly all are chasing money and selling their souls to the devil.
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
@@menacetosobrietypodcast like your vids .Good what u do is this you the main guy.
Looking well Brandon....very good producer as well...Nice podcast
2 top fellas and fantastic positive podcast 👍🙏✌️
Thank you so much
2 legends ❤
Love this podcast more every week. Brandon played at my sisters wedding. I was off my nut then, sober now. Get Merse Dan.
thanks mate
Best one yet!!
Don't know how many left incoming but fucking gold!! Nissan Micras on each foot an all!! ♥️
Since getting sober the only times I argue with my misses is when she interrupts me watching this podcast
ha ha ha that cracked me up - this is our time tho x
Fantastic episode mate. Knew Brandon years ago. Such an inspiration you both are. Day 831 for me today.
Wow that’s great Jonathan! Well done mate!
Would love to hear some of his mad adventures!
So many crazy stories!
It’s amazing what the human body can take. I remember seeing Brandon, Alex and Jeremy Healy playing at Space terrace and Brandon was crouching on the floor behind the decks not sure if this was around the same time of his TB incident.
Thanks for sharing Tobias
I remember seeing him at hot dog may bank holiday 2000 or 2001 and he looked sober but myself was a different story lol, although I am now and it's been over a year now. My life's been nuts anyway.
Hope your both well ✌️
Thanks Qua.
I remember seeing on tv years ago, block jumped up on stage and Davina McCall said who’s that😂I thought shut up he makes a banging mix cd🎶🙌🏻😂edit I wrote this comment before you spoke about it😂
😂 brilliant!
Thanks Danny
“A little bit inebriated” A little bit? Hilarious!
Top top dj back in the day and a yid
Absolutely Nick. A legend of the game
Yeah we definitely need this geezer back to hear about his loosest stories from ibiza 😂
I think it would make an entire series for stories!
Fake women are with fake men(probably).I think it comes with age accepting yourself being comfortable in your own skin and just enjoying your life.if we are lucky to have family.its the most important thing in the world .another gr8 podcast.
Thank you Squidly! Glad you enjoyed this one.
Hey dapper, how do we contact you regarding this podcast? Love it by the way 👍🏼
Hey pop me an email danlaughs@gmail.com
Email sent thankyou
Absolutely loved every minute of this. I grew up in the 80s and 90s thought Brandon Block was a bit of a tit. I now realise I was wrong Topman very wise. Good luck to you all
Glad you enjoyed it Bennett!
He is a tit mate ,,,
5 days clean fecking hard work
Well done mate! 👊👊
Ace that! Cannot wait for part 2! Dans the new joe rogan!
Thanks mate!
2 people with adhd talking to each other is hard to watch. Wish the fella would have just let Brandon talk instead of interrupting all the time. Interrupting people is all part of the learning journey. Something the fella interviewing should work on
Eyeball Paul
rated for talking home truths and sense dos and don't s do music not cocaine or coffee for that matter.
3 days sober
Brandon gave up drugs in 1996 after caining it for 10 years. Was cocaine easy to come by and get, in the 1980s? I know in Hollywood etc it was, but say, was it around in the UK pubs then?
I got to know him a bit out in Ibiza many years ago, he wasn't liked by a lot of people that lived out there and within the industry.
He was regularly being nasty to people. He used to just get off of his face and not be able to DJ. He would pick fights with people on the dance floor. They say "don't meet your heros" for good reason.
I do wish him all the best tho, maybe it was the drugs that made him like that.
Stopped in 1996?, does he mean 2006?
😂 he still talks 1000mph and he’s been off drugs years!!
Most importantly talks sense ❤
Who?
He was really hard to listen to, I didn't find him relatable at all and he just seems like he has read all the self help books. He made his money and has time to fuck around, a bloke with 3 kids just getting by isn't going to understand this nueral pathway mumbo jumbo.
Amazing work with the podcast though and I've found it really helpful, not sure I could do another hour of this bloke though
ok not for everyone, got a huge variety of guests coming up
@@menacetosobrietypodcast please get DJ Lee Butler on, he is perfect for this with an amazing sober journey
@@Georgecurtis123great shout
World famous? Never heard of him.
His shimag makes me laugh tbh, 😂😂😂
1 week sober however I have already lost my family through booze...any incentive?
