People who turn addiction into a contest who had the worst rock bottoms don't understand it at all. Sadly, they're destined to fail because their ego wants to convince them they're the best at being an addict; it's a cunning and evil disease. Driving home at 9am, off your box, is not normal behaviour. It's the behaviour of an addict, and you're addressing it now, mate, using your platform for good and making people change. It's commendable - you and Kirk are inspiring a lot of people, mate. Keep it up.

Hello mate, I just wanted to say that I came to your first comedy tour in Islington. It was brilliant!! I remember seeing Kirk there too. I have struggled with coke and drink for a long time. Shit childhood then when I was 16 I had my daughter and my whole world started to mean something. Everything fell into place. Unfortunately when she was 5 years old she passed away and since then I have been an absolute mess!! That was nearly 8 years ago and things have not got better for me mentally. I have a son too who is literally keeping me going. I laugh through every day just to get by. Anyway stay positive! X

My story is so similar to Kirk. I use to be really clever in lying where I was to sniff gear in my car or walking round where I live of my nut. There was times I’d walk 20 + miles down back alleys through parks, sniffing every chance I got. I got myself into some fucking unbelievable situations. My rock bottom came when I split up with some girl I tried to kill my self and when my mum rang the ambulance she saw a message from a drug dealer I owed 2k too. I racked up this 2k debt in less than 10 days. My mum and dad had just given me money to bale me out from a drug debt. So I left the hospital and I came home and I was kicked out. I had no money, no real mates (the mates I had was only interested when I had gear.) this then was the beginning of a almost 2 years of drugs running my life. I lost 3 stone. By the end of it I was pissing and vomiting blood. Kirk’s first podcast saved my life.

ADHD like most mental health conditions are very subjective. It affects people in various different ways. There’s definitely a link between mental health issues and addiction. ADHD and cocaine use are very common from the self medication perspective. The danger of substance use is that it can lead to mental health disorders as well as make existing or underlying conditions worse. This makes it harder to face sobriety as the feeling of total clarity after long periods in substance misuse, can feel very foreign. You will have periods of extreme emotions and anxiety. For me it took 6months. Eventually it does get better. I’ve relapsed a few times but never gone back to anywhere near problematic use. Great podcast as per guys! Keep up the good work!

I think Rock bottom isn’t necessarily the bottom of you have been, but a moment that wakes you up or scares you to the point you need to try and change immediately … I was in so many worse places many times but there are 4 or 5 moments that have made me have to change during those periods and they weren’t necessarily as bad as I have been but they had an emotional impact on me that scared me into changing or forced me into changing or trying to change !

I am not a alcoholic but my GF is, she knows she has a problem, she has said so herself, she broke down and told both me and her family about it all. Recently shes been really struggling, she will finish work and drink a full bottle of Vodka on the way home. Every time she seems to be doing okay and goes a few days/a week without drinking something else happens and it sets her off again. Im not saying the things that have happened havent been horrifc, in the last year her Father died out of the blue, had a heart attack in her parents living room, the in the last 2 months she has had 2 of her cousins die (both as the result of heavy drinking) so i do understand that its tough, its just so hard to watch her like this, i try to be supportive, i want to help, ive watched everything i can, ive read everything i can find on what i can do to help, i know it says that she has to make the decision to get help but shes going to kill herself if she keeps going like this, i dont know what to do anymore. I understand its an addiciton but sometimes i wish the addicted could understand how difficult it is to see someone you love more than anything slowly poison themselves. Sorry about the ramble, not really sure why i wrote it in a comments section, just have to get it out i guess.
