This is so authentic and helpful. The hosts have kindly shared their own experiences in order to relate to us all and find common ground amongst this wide ranging subject. Their conversations with guests who have experienced a variety of addictions have been very interesting , enlightening and...Read full review »

As an alcoholic in AA, I identify with so much. Thanks for giving addiction the visibility it really needs.

Absolutely loved this podcast so down to earth and well worth listening to

I’d love to hear (or share) on the topic of a shoplifting addiction. Imagine getting clean, and sober from drugs and alcohol but then forming a new habit. It’s equally detrimental but far less understood. Maybe kleptomania; maybe not. Is this an addiction? If you can’t stop (even after getting...Read full review »

I listened to the social media episode. These two had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. Bring a former addict doesn’t make you an EXPERT. Bring on someone with credentials. Waste of time.

Just found this podcast and think it’s great for awareness! But where are you now?? Would love to make contact.

What is needed is more insight into ‘why’. And the ownership of the pain that it causes to others around the addict. Is there some narcissism ? Just a few questions I have. Be good to hear from people who have lived with addicts and how they cope and if they do.

What a fantastic podcast. So open, honest and revealing. Thank you both for sharing so much and opening up this still quite hidden but desperate world of addiction with such a light touch. Good luck in the future.

Thank you both, for being so honest and real bringing us this series of amazing podcasts. I am 500 days sober yesterday, and being able to listen to you both on my way to work, walking the dog, or in the car on my sober journey was an incredible in helping me somewhat understand the journey I...Read full review »

Can’t believe it’s over but what a brilliant way to end. Thank you both for your honestly and integrity. Love you guys so much and wish you well in your new job Jade and writing Melissa xxx

My son is over two years sober, listening to your podcast has helped me understand addiction and be less judgemental- May both of you shine in your new adventures.
jac-scot via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/07/20
I’m not an addict nor an alcoholic- in fact I don’t even have an addictive personality! But I have always been drawn to understand more about addiction and recovery, look deeper into it. I really like your pod and find it so refreshingly different. Totally unpretentious, as in you’re not overly...Read full review »

12 step cult bs that has proved time after time to have low success rates. Listen to people who really understand and can give you real advice backed up with scientific evidence, not these two fake grifters
Ethnat Bird via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/03/20
I’m just at the start of my recovery and I’ve absolutely loved this podcast. You two ladies are amazing. I didn’t enjoy the talk with Spenser I guess I’m felt quite triggered by his methods (even though they worked for him). Addiction is not a negative like he said. I fell that compassion is key...Read full review »

Loved this one. Not my lived experience but related so much to what M&J shared at beginning of episode. So grateful to be sober & not behaving like that anymore😊
QueenTea1961 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/25/20
Like listening to my mates. I can relate so much as a previous party animal. I’m over 2 years sober now and have only just discovered this. Great podcast well done :) x
Orsborn17 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/20/20
Thank you for doing this podcast. Really relate to your stories and guests. Useful for anyone trying to live and love a sober lifestyle without feeling like a 3 headed freak :)
Sal121282 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/13/20
So heartfelt and honest. Great to be lead by real lives experience of you both. And Melissa’s tears touch my heart every time! Thank you for getting cultural issues on the table in the addiction forum too.
Rosa Sheehan via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/03/20
Funny and sad at the same time, great conversation and the hosts genuinely care about their guests and topics. Keep up the great work 🥰
Zhadesz via Apple Podcasts · Spain · 08/26/20
This podcast is really bad and dangerous. These two know so little about addiction. Ignore what they say. In fact do the opposite almost every time. They have no tangible scientific, medical or theoretical knowledge. They are peddling 12 step BS. The recovery rate in 12 step is less than 10%. Its...Read full review »

bremenantje via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/05/20
I love this podcast. I am not an addict but am fascinated about how some people, with drink or drugs, can take it or leave it but others become addicted. These two have turned their lives around and are now helping others which is just great. I hope their honesty and humour makes them...Read full review »

I have recently listened to this podcast and I find it amazing. It makes you realise how addiction affects others as well as yourself. Well done ladies for being so honest and open.
