Summary

Admitting you’re wrong is never easy but this is exactly what Dan does in this special bonus edition of the Menace to Sobriety Podcast. Listen in as Dan bares all in this raw, honest and sometimes triggering episode all about his journey to accepting himself; including when he has been wrong, his sobriety, coping mechanisms and his trauma. Dan also talks about the downsides of cancel culture, what he has learnt in his 167 days of being sober and reveals his upcoming tour for 2024! 2024 Tour KEY TAKEAWAYS  This will be Dan’s first tour that he will have written, created and performed sober.  The themes of his 2024 tour will be around sobriety, mental health as well as going from ‘lad to dad’! Our emotions are deep within us, our bodies hold on to trauma and if the right buttons are pressed we become triggered. There have been a lot of emotions coming up to the surface for Dan with this upcoming tour, some of which have been triggered by the press and reminding him of the period of his cancellation and the death of his Dad. Sobriety means clarity and that includes looking at your trauma directly and seeing it clearly. Cancel culture is toxic, it doesn’t allow for forgiveness or growth. Previously Dan didn’t want to take responsibility, he was more focused on being edgy and controversial. He had no reason to listen to what other people were telling him. But he now sees he was wrong. Dan accepts that he had an inflated ego, through drinking and drugs and that he did do and say things that were wrong in the past. He didn’t listen enough or take responsibility. Being sober has given Dan freedom; to accept he is wrong, apologise sincerely and achieve his potential. BEST MOMENTS  “This is the first time in my life I have written comedy sober” “Our bodies really hold onto trauma” “When we use drink or drugs we are chasing dopamine hits of happiness to hide the pain” “I thought I should have been forgiven sooner” “I was on such a mission to prove I was successful” “Ultimately, sobriety is a beautiful thing” VALUABLE RESOURCES 2024 Tour CONTACT METHOD Instagram Facebook Twitter ABOUT THE HOST Daniel O’Reilly Daniel O’Reilly is one of the UK’s Largest Influencers, a comedian, actor, musician, viral video star and social influencer.

Hello people and welcome into my home.

I don't know if you can see this or not. You might be listening

0:22.0

on the podcast, but we are sat in my office at the moment. My dog is underneath the desk,

snoring. So if you hear that, that's not me farting. And my kids are upstairs doing bath time

0:34.4

before bed. So they could burst through the door at any minute, but you might be able to hear them as well.

But the reason why I wanted to do this little podcast from my house in my office surrounded

0:45.2

by posters of myself at the back there, and I look like a shrine, but they really motivate me.

0:50.1

They've been motivating me for the last 10 years to get back on tour, which I've been

0:54.7

working towards for 10 years. And sobriety over the last 167 days has bought about a brand new

1:01.7

stand-up comedy tour. And it's quite an emotional time for me, man. I've got a lot of trauma

1:06.8

attached to touring just because of how I lost my last tour.

1:11.2

It was cancelled 10 years ago.

A lot of you on this channel might not know me.

You might just know me as the host of Menace 2 sobriety.

But in fact, I'm going to get into a little bit of a story here for you,

1:23.4

talking about how my addictions, my coping mechanisms,

1:29.6

are attached to my stand-up comedy and why I'm triggered at the moment. Also, I just want to talk a little bit about

1:34.8

accepting we're wrong, which is always a really difficult thing to do, and it's taken me years

1:39.3

to do. I made some serious mistakes and the freedom that you get from that as well. And yeah,

1:45.9

and I wanted to talk about it all because I want as many of you that are watching these
