Dapper Laughs: Menace To Sobriety
Season 3, Episode 115, May 29, 2023, 04:09 AM
In this episode we chat to Dan O'Reilly, widely known as Dapper Laughs.
Dan is recently alcohol-free, and talks to us really honestly about how alcohol had started to damage his mental health and his relationships before he decided to remove it seven months ago.
He also talks to us about how going sober has led to him have to confront some uncomfortable truths about his past: he reflects on how sobriety has allowed him the space to see that he needed to accept responsibility for some of his words and actions, and that owning it is an important part of the process.
We think this is one of the most honest conversations we've ever had on Over The Influence, and as a result we talk about some issues that may be triggering for some listeners. Alcohol use, drug use and suicidal thoughts are all discussed in this episode.
