KEY TAKEAWAYS
Relapsing is extremely common in most people’s sobriety journeys. It’s very normal to feel like you are missing out when you give up alcohol or drugs and it can take many attempts to successfully give them up. Matt wanted to help people on a bigger scale, this was the driving force to create his app Dryy which to date has 7.5k users and is the fastest growing alcohol-free app in the world. Matt is trying to create a space and community for like-minded people who want to stop drinking. After the death of his son, Matt’s relationship with alcohol changed, he suddenly needed it. He ended up losing everything. A spiritual experience allowed Matt to see that the way he was living was wrong. He was able to see that he had a bright future, and this is when his journey to sobriety started. Matt believes 1 sober year is equal to 10 years on booze, you get so much more from life and can give so much more too.

PODCAST DESCRIPTION
Daniel O'Reilly's newest venture sees the creation of his Menace 2 Sobriety podcast, a series of relaxed and open conversations with different guests and varied experiences.
After recently being diagnosed with severe ADHD and beginning his sobriety again, Daniel also set up a page on Facebook and Instagram called 'Men And Their Emotions' (M.A.T.E) an accessible, open and supportive group for MEN to post their feelings, thoughts and current life issues. Upon seeing the responses from men around the world to some of the posts on the group he was blown away and continues to be touched by the kindness and support offered by strangers. This all led to Daniel wanting to start up his own podcast and invite guests to join him in opening up about past experiences and talk about all things mental health, family & sobriety.
The podcast will see Daniel and his interesting guests' sharing their personal stories and learning experiences that they hope will help other people; whether it encourages one person to ask for help, talk to family about their struggles with getting sober/clean, or realise that they aren't alone. The Menace 2 Sobriety podcast has been created by Daniel to help people fight their own gremlins.
