Living With An Addict And My Own Addiction - Eddie Cobb

Published 2023-08-25
Kirk and Dan are joined by Eddie Cobb, founder of ADAPT, a charity which helps addicts seek recovery from addiction free of charge. Eddie started using drugs at a young age and shares in this episode her own experiences of addiction, recovery and life after drug addiction including life with her heroin-addicted partner. Eddie, Kurt and Dan explore the reasons behind addiction including the inability to deal with emotions, and feelings of shame but why ultimately it is always very complicated and difficult to understand addiction, regardless of who you are, where you’re from and what you’re addicted to.

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.

  • @dannykemp2451
    I think every time Dan breaks down we all want to be there to give him a hug and say it’s all good mate, we got you. It’s also very brave and admirable to see him let go and be as real as it gets. This is yet another powerful, valuable episode and this podcast is building a very important community that will help a lot of people…keep doing what you’re doing lads ❤🙏

    This podcast is honestly unbelievable so true people think it’s ok to sniff and drink but heroin is wrong it’s all the same

    (On my wife's account) Eddie helped me so much its hard to put into words. She took me in when everyone else gave up. Gave me a chance. Let me be myself. Didn't judge. Didn't shame me. Gave me a safe space for me to live after 3 months of treatment and consistent groups and therapy sessions. I did 6 months in ADAPT Oxford and it was the best thing I ever did. When I was clean I met a woman and am now married and have 2 sons. Unfortunately I'm writing this as I'm heading to work, with no sleep, fueled my vodka and Cocaine, the worst part is that no-one understands what I am going through, all I get is shouting and looks of disgust, but what Oxford ADAPT gave me was a safe space, to be myself, to cry, to laugh, to live, to try my hardest with the best support, i owe my life to this woman. Xxxxx
