One night he called the Samaritans.Dan went sober for six months last year. Then he picked up at Christmas and it got bad again, fast. Five months in this time, he's running a 35,000-strong Facebook group called Men and Their Emotions and a podcast called Menace to Sobriety.He tells Dave why the lads' lad finally had to put the drink down for good.If you're a man who thinks you don't have a problem, this one's for you.With 2022 being a busy year, Daniel sold out his O2 stand-up show and released his British movie 'The Last Heist', which became the number one Amazon Crime Movie and is currently in the remits for a release on Netflix. @dappersinstagram (Instagram)@dapperlaughs (Twitter)Daniel O'Reilly (Facebook)@dapperlaughs (Tiktok)@menacetosobrietyuk (Podcast Instagram)https://www.youtube.com/@menacetosobrietypodcast (Podcast Youtube)@hyprr_films (Film Instagram)If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice for Suzanne.www.instagram.com/janeyhollidaycoachingwww.facebook.com/janeyhollidaycoaching https://www.linkedin.com/in/janey-holliday-1445b821/www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezhttps://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/ www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/Learn more about your ad choices.
