Are you at a point where you are not sure if you have a drinking problem or not? Well this episode is a bit of a different one. In this video I will go through 15 different questions reflecting on your relationship with drinking and if it has a negative impact on your life. If you know you have an issue then this episode is good to refer back to reaffirm why you are on this path. This video is all about self discovery and if it is time to change your relationship with alcohol.And if you want to leave your scores in the comments, there is no judgement here as everyone is on their own journey every journey starts with a question.

Yes I know it is only the 1st of November but this episode is all about how to do the festive season sober. Christmas in my opinion is the hardest part of the year to get through sober. I mean I am an example of how difficult it can be, I was defeated at Christmas the first time I tried to go sober. To this day it doesn't get easier but I understand it more and more regarding the triggers and how to rewire my brain when correlating drinking/seshing to Christmas. Throughout the podcast I talk about my triggers, if there are any you relate to let me know in the comments or if there are different ways you say no to a drink. I answer some of your questions and it feels good to talk about these things going into the festivities. I want to thank you all for the continuous support with this podcast and let me know you thoughts if there is anything you'd like me talk about. #podcast #soberpodcast #mentalhealth #motivation #sobersuccesspodcast #mentalhealthawareness #sobersuccess #christmas #festive

Episode 7 is all about self esteem; working on the way you speak to yourself and the avatar inside of you that is your self esteem.This episode is perfect for anyone that is overly critical of themselves and ignores the positive qualities that you have. Someone that continuously focuses on their setbacks and thinking traits that lead to poor mental health and bad days.I'll be getting you to have a little think about who you are, how you feel and how to build your self esteem back up again. Join me for the journey, this is another one that's something I'm still working on personally. I hope you enjoy and leave a voice note in the Menace To Sobriety DMs and I might answer them in next week's podcast.

Guys, I did it. I celebrated 2 years sober at the weekend and this journey hasn't been easy but it has been so worth it. The road to reaching this milestone has taught me so much about perseverance and resilience. In this video I talk about how I got here and what breakthrough helped me connect my mental health with the addiction. Shelley makes a special appearance and to top off this incredible weekend off I invited a homeless man to the show and practically became my comedy sidekick. Thank you to everyone who continues to support me and making all of this possible.

Episode 5 guys is all about Sober firsts and how I dealt with them. Going sober is not easy and alongside that, you now have to experience moments that you would previously correlate a celebration with drinking and getting on it.
From your first Christmas which is one of the hardest for me as first time going sober I cracked, to birthdays and holidays especially. I relay the heartbreak of my wedding and missing out on the girl's first few years. Through this podcast I will explain that they were hard but how I look back at them and see how much my life has changed since becoming sober and have a new lease on life.

Why does life feel flat after c***ine?
And why does relapse often happen just when you start to feel okay?
In this episode of Menace to Sobriety, addiction specialist Elliott Wald explains how c***ine hijacks your dopamine system and why recovery isn’t about willpower.
We break down why early sobriety can feel boring, empty and confusing, and how understanding your brain can stop the shame.

In this episode of Menace to Sobriety, I’m joined by comedian and content creator Daryl Robinson.
Daryl opens up about growing up around drink and drugs, how c**aine slowly became normalised, and the reality of three-day benders that nearly cost him everything. We talk about fatherhood, shame, anxiety, and the lie that “cutting back” means you’ve got control.
He shares the exact moment things changed — writing a brutally honest list on a comedown, promising himself he’d have to read it before ever drinking again. A simple decision that ended up saving his family, his career, and his life.
This is a raw, honest conversation about:
• Drugs becoming normal without you realising
• Why kids alone aren’t enough to make you stop
• The danger of the “fuck it button”
• Relapsing, shame, and starting again
• Finding excitement in life without drink or drugs
If you’re struggling, questioning your relationship with substances, or feeling stuck in the same cycle this one will hit home.
You’re not weak. You’re not broken. And you’re not alone.

Wayne Lineker joins Menace to Sobriety for one of the most honest conversations he’s ever had.
From alcohol, ❄️ and Ibiza excess… to rehab, pneumonia, and almost losing everything. Wayne opens up about what really happens when the party stops.
This episode covers:
• His a*diction to alcohol, ❄️ & Ocean Beach
• The health crash that nearly killed him after getting sober
• Why rehab saved his life
• The moment his family drew the line
• Life, ego, relapse and rebuilding from the ground up
This is not a headline story — this is the truth behind it all.
If you’re struggling, questioning your drinking, or trying to get sober — you’re not alone.

This episode goes deep.
From Ibiza excess to ketamine addiction, from ego and escapism to rehab, relapse and real recovery.
Rick opens up about dropping to eight stone, organ failure, chasing validation, and the moment he realised everything he valued was a lie.
We talk shame, family, ADHD, ego, relapse, rehab and what actually keeps you sober when the noise stops.
If you’ve ever felt lost, empty, or like you’re running from yourself — this one’s for you.
⚠️ Raw conversation. No filters.

I went into this episode with no script and no plan. Just an old mate, a lot of history, and the truth we both spent years running from.
We talk about the lie I told myself for a long time. That my drinking was only hurting me. That as long as I paid the bills and showed up sometimes, it didn’t really count. It did count. It cost me moments I’ll never get back, trust I had to earn again, and years of being half-present in my own life.
This conversation goes places I didn’t expect. Fatherhood. Shame. Addiction. Resentment. Sobriety. Faith. The voice in your head that tells you you’re fine, right up until you’re not.
If you’re drinking and telling yourself it’s under control, this might be uncomfortable. If you’re sober and still dealing with the fallout, you’ll probably recognise a lot of this. And if you’re struggling right now, I want you to know you’re not broken and you’re not alone.

This is Part 2 of the voice note episode — and it goes deeper.
More messages. More honesty. More pain. More hope.
I continue listening to voice notes from people battling addiction, early recovery, relapse, gambling, alcohol, cocaine, and the mental health fallout that comes with it.
This isn’t motivation.
This isn’t therapy talk.
This is real life.
If you’re struggling or telling yourself “I’ll sort it out later” listen carefully

I didn’t plan on coming back like this.
But I needed to.
In this episode, I explain why I disappeared, why I nearly relapsed, and why this podcast had to return — not just for you, but for me.
I listen and react to real voice notes from people struggling with drink, drugs, mental health, relapse, loneliness, and staying sober when life gets heavy.
This isn’t polished.
It isn’t preachy.
It’s just honest conversations about addiction, dopamine, pressure, family, work, shame, and trying to do better.
If your head won’t shut up…
If you’re scared of slipping back…
This one’s for you.
