Menace II Sobriety Live brings the up & coming podcast to the live stage; hosted by Daniel O'Reilly and a special guest, no topic is off-limits. Combining humour with stories and issues which both Daniel and the audience will have experienced, whether first hand or through someone they know. Offering an environment for people to openly discuss their struggles was Daniel's main focus behind starting the podcast, as well as his M.A.T.E group; so now he also brings it to the stage and to the public.
What can people expect at the live podcast:
Join Daniel at Menace II Sobriety Live, as he discusses all things sobriety, ADHD, mental health and more. The podcastwill be recorded live with a special guest, including audience interaction and finishing with an open Q&A.
Daniel will not only be discussing sobriety, but everything life throws at us, and he would love for you to join him. Bring your tissues and your sense of humour, because we have no idea what topics will be discussed, but whatever the conversation, it'll be a supportive environment and may contain some dad jokes.
Story behind the podcast:
The Menace II Sobriety podcast was set up after Daniel faced his own battles with sobriety, ADHD, mental health and certain life scenarios. He set up a M.A.T.E group on Facebook, so that men could support men in an accessible, open and friendly environment. Upon seeing the responses from men around the world to some of the posts on the group, Daniel was blown away by the kindness and support of strangers. This led him to create the podcast, inviting a range of guests from different backgrounds, sharing his own personal experiences & struggles; and now, opening up to the public in a live environment, where people can come along and watch in-person, or get involved in the audience interaction.

I've listened to every podcast since the beginning and also Sober Dave's. I know your target audience is predominantly men, however, there's women also struggling to open up and handle addiction (such as myself) and wanted to say thanks and what a privilege it's been to follow you on your journey.
He’s speaking from a man’s perspective as that’s what he is but there’s lots of great universal information and wisdom that everyone can relate to and use.
Good luck on your journey 👍🏻
It's UA-cam. Relax Brian.
We can't do it without you. (Women)

Massive congrats Dan. You really have been a big inspiration for so many people (lads). I’m sitting on day 298 myself, again with you playing a big part to play in that. Keep fighting the good fight Sir 👊
I strongly advise anyone in the coke alcohol hole
Take up excersize and put all your energy with all you have on being the fittest strongest version of yourself you can possibly be
I am two years clean now after 13 years of coke binges and going missing for days on end
Excersize has changed my life and out look on life
We all can be so much more good luck to everyone trying
Never stop giving up giving up
Dan you’re the biggest inspiration for my sobriety thank you so much for doing this work I don’t think you’ll ever understand how valuable it is to us all 👏
I’m 20 months sober, enjoying your content, openness to be admired. AA stopped me drinking but the steps make me happy, keep going dude
Be proud of yourself Dan, congratulations 🎉
Hand on heart, recently you have helped me through the hardest time in my life. I can relate to you so much.. Losing my Dad to addiction and struggling with long term addictions and mental health problems that I have been battling with since I was a kid. Whenever the bastard gremlin has chirped up, I have put one of the podcasts on and now me and the Mrs listen every week. I can see how much you have put in and how much more you are getting out and thanks to you guys, I am doing the same. Hats off to you on one year. And Thank you man
People make mistakes man.. that’s what a lot of the podcast is about and he’s helped a lot of people. Just these comments alone can tell you that.
22 days sober. I love it 🥰
Respect to you Dan. You have done the work and you are helping others to do theirs. You are helping me that’s for sure. Keep it up. It makes a difference
Well done Dan such an achievement. Been watching from the beginning and such good insight into addiction,watching as a woman with a partner who has addiction your podcasts have really helped me to understand more.
Congratulations 🥳 !
I’m at the start of my journey.
Your talks really inspire
So thanks too .
Congrats 1 year !! I’ve been here since the start and you’ve helped me through so much, I’m just over 6 months sober, thank you 🙏
Having access to this and other sober podcasts is the most valuable thing to me in choosing not to drink.
this is amazing! this is 2nd day and i'm glad to find this podcast and begin my journey!
Hi mate , just checking in to see if your ok ?
Haven't seen any podcasts for a while now and i loved them .
Hope your doing well pal, i recently celebrated 450 days sober and it was due to watching your early podcasts telling me to try a CA meeting.
So thank you x
Congratulations Dan, massive commitment to your sobriety and new life... I've watched most of your interviews so far and it's plain to see in your body language you are much more present and look relaxed!! Great to see. Much love from New Zealand 💚
amazing achievement.
when people have an answer to the first question of what would you say to yourself a year ago ?
and people answer "" don't be hard on yourself, or don't feel guilty"" etc etc...but I think....all if that is crucial....like that's part of the healing journey isn't it. I love that Dan's first answer was that he would say "" it's going to be ok""
I honestly love this podcast.i did a year and half clean of H and C .... then I moved house, and I can't even explain the stress it caused me, I'm bipolar, and have moved before, but this.....this move truly crippled me in every emotion, mental state possible for some reason....back at it again.....and need to make sure I don't do it again....
congratulations Dan 🎉🎉
I really hope you well on your journey 🎉 thabk you for the comment
@@menacetosobrietypodcast thank you so much 🙏

Well done Dan!!
I’ve been listening to the podcast every week since the first episode
You’re doing a great thing for the sober community 👏👏👏👏👏
Well in Dan , your podcast is one of the most important things to help keep me on the right track. Thanks lads!
1st congratulations mate its a journey. ❤ respect
Totally inspirational..listen every week been on a very simular journey. Don't know how I found the podcast but seems like faith because its one I look forward to every week and some weeks has made me think twice about going back on it so thanks to everyone that's involved in the production and long may it last lads ❤
We’ll done Dan and thanks to everyone involved what a journey i love my life now 💪💪💪
Congratulations Dan, followed from the start. Always helped. So has M.A.T.E keep smashing it brother
Bloody love you guys. So much information. You are inspiring so many people. Well done on a year of sobriety 🙌 your doing amazing. More off the street kinda guests would be great. Like you said every podcast comes with different people who are going thru different addiction. Hope I make sense. I'm adhd and dyslexic too so sometimes I don't put it quite right 😅
Love it! Such positivity. Keep up the good work! Thank you both! xxx
one year no beer/gear is brilliant. such a simple slogan to adhere to.
Really Inspirational ,You have helped me show others change is possible & Made me Look back on my own Journey of Sobriety ..
Congratulations Dan! You should be proud of yourself 👏 ❤️
My year started on 31st December and the intent is a full year off in 2024. You are one of the only people out there I can relate to and look up to in terms of getting sober. We approach drugs and alcohol in a very similar way and your success in sobriety gives me hope. Thanks Dan 🩵
How are you doing? Im at 2 months myself
@@MsSheilaC well done. I’m doing ok. I have had two occasions where I have had two drinks since December 30th. One instance I caved and had two beers with a mate where I was actually trying to make him feel comfortable which was silly on my part. The second time I had two glasses of wine at dinner after a bit of a family crisis. Not proud of breaking my streak but it’s 4 standard drinks in 4 months. I am maintaining the goal to stay sober going forward and no intention to make it regular again (my real problem was cocaine and not touched it although I think about it regularly).
How are you feeling so far?
@@aloeblack8853 I think youre doing great and that's a great way to look at it. Youre four months sober, minus four drinks!
isnt it crazy what we do to make others feel comfortable? lol I was offered wine by a wine maker at his party, who knows my background w wine but didnt know I had stopped drinking, and he was so enthisiuastic to know my opinion that I took the smallest sip possible but still looking like I was tasting... It was hysterical to me but that the only time Ive dabbled w it in two months (I went into the garden and dumped the rest so not to be tempted or mindless w a glass in my hand).
it hasnt been the glorious results that most ppl seem to report two months in, but Im in it for the long haul and will be patient. At some point things will get better. I honestly think the older one is and the more time regularly drinking, is relative to the time it takes to detox the brain and organs etc. I wasnt alcoholic but had a regular habit and at 60, thats some time put in. Im going to make my 60's one of my best decades.
John. Would be great if you guys could get me and my twin brother on the show. Both struggling to keep sober but in our separate ways. I use for physical pain relief/not care about it and my brother because his personal situation that involves how his ex his uses his kids as weapons..
Absolute respect for Daniel and what you said at the start. A message from the future was a great question. Onlookers perspective is fresh and naive in a good way to actually ask the right questions in an honest way 👍🏻
massive respect to you Dan. Keep on doing the work because you are worth it :)
Congratulations Dan! Smashing it mate! Keep it up! 💪🏻
Congrats!
Well done Dan ...
You doing a great job and serving to us all ....
Congrats. That's a big achievement!

No kirk anymore?
Love it mate. I noticed you had ca Keyrings but u said u haven’t done the 12 steps!! Wondered how that came about!!
Someone sent me the key rings, I’ve been doing the meetings.
What an achievement!!!! Well done Dan!
Little tip D when feeling vulnerable(happens loads have a hot bath its symbolically washing youre pain away .
Well done, not easy. Can we have an update on Kirk? Is he not coming back? Is he okay?
No idea, he no longer wants to do the podcast abd don’t talk to me, just stopped. Pop him a message if you want to see how he is I don’t talk to him any more.
@@menacetosobrietypodcast What? Really? That’s crazy. Hope he’s okay and not relapsed. Thanks for letting use know.
@@menacetosobrietypodcast Weirdly, I caught a clip of Kirk talking about when he disappeared on you before and his answer why was ‘drugs’. I hope he’s not done the same again and he’s okay.
Well done mate, keep it up 💪❤
Congratulations mate 👏 👍 🙌
Great podcast! 👌🏻❤️
I will be a year sober from the bag and drink on 21/11 been a hard year just need to drop the brass on the head now but with a year behind me think I’m in a better position to do it

Bored me to tears.😅
