We break down why early sobriety can feel boring, empty and confusing, and how understanding your brain can stop the shame.

January 23 The list that saved my life | Daryl Robinson
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.

January 16 I Nearly Died After Getting Sober | Wayne Lineker
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.

January 09 Eight Stone, Addiction, Ibiza & the Lie I Believed | Rick Keane
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.
🎧 Minister of Sobriety.

January 02 I Thought I Was Only Hurting Myself featuring Arron Crascall
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 isn’t a polished episode. It’s an honest one.👇 Drop a comment if you’re doing this soberShare this with someone who needs it before midnightSponsored by Rehubs get 5% off using the link:https://rehubs.com/menace-to-sobriety/Buy your tour tickets:https://www.seedanlive.com/showsInstagram:https://instagram.com/menacetosobrietyukTiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@menace_ll_sobriety #mentalhealth #motivation #sobersuccesspodcast #mentalhealthawareness #sobersuccess #christmas #festive #soberlife

December 30, 2025 These Voice Notes Almost Broke Me
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

December 26, 2025 I Thought I Was Fine
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.
