I spent two years of my life addicted to a drug called Viagra, it was the hardest two years of my life.
Jheez hope your OK lol
I'm getting there. It was hard though. Thank u
HArd lie I mean hardly đ
Love you
I hope your life if pointing in the right direction now.
James I just wanted to thankyou, I had a rough upbringing aswell. I always thought gambling was a quick fix after never having money. Im 34 now and ive finally realised its been the cause of all my problems for the last 15+ years. After stumbling upon your podcasts a few months ago you have given me the inspiration to turn my life around. Im a single dad and I now have a completely different and positive outlook going forward, to give me and my son a better life. Keep up the good work đ
Hi James I've been watching ur podcasts for the last few months, I've subscribed đ I'm 30 I have cerebral palsy wheelchair bound lost my mum at 13 dad at 19 severe anxiety and I've had ah drink problem since ah lost ma dad, am now 4 years sober off my own back, so aye people can change đ well done for opening up I can relate to ur story xx
Amazing Laura proud of you xx
Thank u same 2 u đ xx
That is such an inspiration Laura, thank you for commenting! Yes people can change! lives can be different, new, hopeful, giving to others. It must feel incredible to be free of the alcohol. Stoked for you. All the very best!!đ
Ty Jo am on my 5 year sober now đ it's a scary chance at first, but we'll worth it đ xx
@@lauragodfrey9261 đthatâs so cool! Well worth it indeed!! Yeah life is just better without drink imo. 12yrs, I just make better decisions without it so alcohol isnât for međ I really like hearing other people decide to do whatâs actually good for them.......and being bold with itđ.
Now I understand better why James has become the nation's favorite podcast! A very real and insightful Life experience that he shares candidly in here. Like him the book that changed my life was "The Power of Now" (and all the other books by Eckhart Tolle) so I can really relate. And Elliot Reeves does a great job at interviewing a great interviewer!!!

Go for it brother
Yh mate in 33 an been doing coke flat out since 15 , I jus moved myself bk to my mums I gotta stop and move on good luck to ya bro
Guys got balls to explaining his situation like this. Well done James đȘđŒ
Im coming up to 4 weeks clean off cocaine this friday. This video james is going to spur me on more. Thanks mateđȘđȘ
Yes brother proud of you keep going
You still clean
Eddie Kelly probably not
Defo still on the bag
I am 10 years clean of heroin and crack and have never felt better. Will always be in recovery and each day is sometimes a challenge to get through however I have now gained the skills to get through. Made some special friends along the way. Addiction is so so deep. Often others donât understand it but it is about the only subject that I know can be talked about for hours and hours and still only touch the surface. God bless you James. I totally get you. You are a good , deep man xxxxx
What an insight, I absolutely love this interview. So down to earth and real. I have sat at my desk all afternoon looking at motivational speakers. Definitely hit a nerve - as someone who had lost themselves and i am trying to claw the old me back it really helps to know that there is someone who gets it. From the outside I may have a lot of blessings but the mental torture I put myself through day in day out is cripling and ruining relationships with those closest to me. I need to sort my shit out lol
Kelly Cusack and you will kelly you just have to believe in yourself and dig deep xxx
Hi James, I've been watching your podcasts for a while now, but I found your story/testimony really inspiring. I am 34, I was born with a cerebral cyst that went undetected for 13 years and I've had my fair share of battles. Gaining employment has been extremely difficult because employers down the south of England where I am are reluctant to employ with brain conditions. Of course, it gets me down, the boredom and I started drinking. I am still unemployed, but my mindset has changed though it is still quite challenging, not drinking as much as I have been doing online workouts. Watching these podcasts really does good to show that even the impossible can be made possible if we work at it.
Straight talking from someone who's lived it and is now living life love it đ
Hi James, this video has had a big effect on me. Canât thank you enougj. Ive been a compulsive gambling addict for 20 years, lost around 250k but hurt and lied to good people. Also the drink and cocaine problems that came with trying to eacape the shame of it. Im on the right track now and watching this helps me to stay that way. Thanks very much and keep up the good work mate x
Alan Murray thanks for the support brother. And happy that you are also seeing what needs to be changed so keep going.
â@@JamesEnglishinspirational mate. You've helped a lot of cunts mate. You tell it how it is
One of the best interviews Iâve ever seen. James youâre an inspiration, Sir.
Sounds exactly like me. Was a wrongern in my 20s..violence, steroids, cocaine, womanising, bankruptcy, alcoholism.
All comes crashing down. Then you either are reborn or carry on into hell on earth. Was a long road back and I didnt have a spiritual awakening until 10 years later. Which was totally unexpected. And very painful..but has opened my eyes to the world. I'm glad I was blessed like you by higher powers to follow this path and help others .
Up at 5am too

Telling the story of most lads coming through council estates in Britain can relate to, growing up watching and hearing bad situations then partying and going wild as itâs all they no before growing up and gaining experience in life and realising thatâs itâs the little things what matter!! Well done James I watch your podcasts of old crime figures who have a story tell your doing well pal good luck đ
i respect people so much who can turn it around ... great strength fella
â€ïž
James talks a lot of sense and I like his openness.
I haven't had a drink for over 4 years now, after 27 years of Binge Drinking. I sought help through hypnotherapy and it worked.
Living a life drink, drug and smoke free feels good, but it is obviously tough for so many to get to that stage.
Thanks James for all your video's. I'm learning so much from you and your guests.
@@davym23 Thank you.
James is a inspiration to all of us and shows how you can turn your life around! What I love most about this man is he donât judge anyone
Thanks Gary

Only just come across this interview James, after watching so many of your podcasts past month , itâs lovely to hear your story . Sometimes we think everyone has this âperfectâ life & cuz u r so strong & successful now itâs hard to think of your own struggles and addictions.. it proves we can all turn it around & take some strength from the past .

Glad I watched this and heard James story so much which I resonate with....stumbled across his podcasts over lockdown but now I know more about him they are even better to watch than before!
watched this after Corona outbreak, the shift you talked about is happening, we are helping each other, loving nature, embracing relationships, nurturing our families, ............. wow James, just wow xâ€
James I'm a 61 year old man from London I have never thought about life as your one day away from the end of this world . Don't stop talking people are listening to you .
Thanks John
Got to know James over the last year . Just had a beautiful weekend in Glasgow , beautiful hotel and wkend all laid on by James,and invited me to he's home, very very rare for me to say, never mind think this , but hand on heart I'm proud so much to call this man a true friend , and admire him as much . A true quality genuine honest man .and best of all, he wants , and does help and care for others .what a man, only a fool would not see this man is so real. Genuine, top man x
Brilliant interview , James spoke with so much honesty and truth ,the longest iv stayed off the drink continuously is 11 days since 1982 , iv recently admitted to myself that iv got a problem , partly because of your videos and interviews that iv recognised myself in so much is the reason im being honest with myself and starting to turn my life around , its gonna be a long road but i know where i want to be and i will get there , keep the videos coming James , Thank You :)
James. I just walked through the doors of GA and feel better for doing so. This illness has destroyed my personality and my relationship with my now ex partner. I am determind to be clean and thankful for podcasts like this.
Amazing interview. It was like it was me sat there for parts of it. Iâm nearly 47 and still drink heavily to fill loneliness and voids. Iâve lost family, friends, girlfriends and my young daughter. I took every disco biscuit going and most powder too.
Iâm at that point now where if I donât concentrate on the light inside me, because I do have skills, then Iâm just a day closer to death and another day away from letting the universe in.
Iâve lied and cheated so many people, I havenât a clue how to love and trust myself now. Itâs scary.
Thanks again James
Stay strong brother and keep going
Go for it,Pal!
Its never to late..don't lose hope.
Quality. There's a lot more to James than meets the eye. A great outlook and attitude on life.
Ian He-kensken cheers Ian đđŒ

Spot on James!!! this has properly hit home and is so true of so so many young men out there and with the rate of suicide and biggest cause of death under 45's this is very relatable!

Watching this with the hope I can curb my own drug and gambling addiction starting tomorrow. I will watch it every day if I have to
Go for it brother â€ïž
Hi James.. this interview really changed my mindset and I was exactly the same for years.. wasn't really a drinker.. Just socially I drank but when I did it would lead to cocaine.. I used to think to myself I didn't have a problem. But I obviously did cuz couldn't drink without taking cocaine.. At first it's just a thing you did with ya mates why out drinking. Next thing your drinking n taking the coke at home without no one knowing.. It's a slippery slope. Once I'd drink and take coke you find yourself lying to those close to you and I'd ruin relationships and jobs I've lost because of drink n cocaine.. I've changed it around but not đŻ there yet has I do rarely go out for a beer n tend to want a line everything your second pint goes down.. But I have kicked the beer out of my life now and I'm a totally different person. And my mindset is great now.. Set me own business up and in a good place mentally.. I seen you at Blackpool pleasure beach last Sunday and was going to come over and tell you thanks for this interview really hit home to Me and changes how I was living.. Didn't want to intrude though so didn't introduce me self.. Anyway thanks James for this interview and thanks for letting me see there's more to life than drinking n being daft.. Cheers buddy đ
Well done brother for changing and you should have said hello, keep going and stay true to you â€ïž
Inspirational, hopefully others who are in a hole can see this and can see that you can turn your life around. Such an old head on young shoulders. I think we've all done crazy shit and it's who makes us who we are, it's all part of the journey!
Well done on another great podcast James.
Just remember there isn't a chemical solution to a spiritual problem xx
I am a recovering gambling addict. Four months off a bet. I attend GA meetings and I have been in some very bad places as a result of my addiction. But I take my recovery a day at a time. And James is right when he speaks of change. But it is a lifelong process.
The Power of Now is what changed things for me too.....no sure it was wee Eckharts voice that was your problem James, it took me about a year to read the book and it sent me to sleep at least once every page or two and I'd have to go back a page and re read it.
Enjoyed watching your interview.
Great listen. Nice to hear you talk about your life, not gong to lie, itâs inspirational mate. Love how youâve turned your life around, please never ever give up.
Anthony Symington thank you brother đđ»
James, believe me I'm 51years old, got off heroin 25 years ago, relapsed back on it 5years now, lost my mum 2years ago, I get up in the morning with all intentions of not using but it's like I'm programmed to do it, & I'm struggling, think underneath all the drugs is depression, without using it feels like walking about with no limbs, using is so natural ,once I've done it I'm complete, a negative feels like my positive, but its should be the other way round, addiction I'm sick of it....thanks for your podcast
Iâm right there with ya. Itâs like I want to be clean but I end up falling into the old pattern of using. I have a few days in and Iâm hoping to do it this time. Take care

Love your story James, can relate in so many ways. From your awakening to views on fake world social media. We all on our own our own path and if it makes you happy & progress your person then go for it..kinda the advice I needed to hear this morning. Thankyou x

Inspiring man. I lost my best mate to suicide 3 years ago and my life spiralled out of control since. I spent the past 3 years snorting coke almost every day to block out the pain but it doesnt work, the moment u havent got the coke all the pain just hits at once. I was homeless from december 2019 up until june. Ive finally started to change my life around for the better and ive been clean now since the 16th of june. Im starting my new job on monday and i now have secure housing. Things are finally starting to look up for me. All the best brother anyway. Just thought id share my story

Excellent interview James. Hats off to you for your life transformation. Best interview by far.
Similar life growing up from Belfast, brothers from across the road, packed the football in at 18 partied for years weekend after weekend from 16-21 , knocked the harder drugs at 21 still take a drink and a smoke of weed, and I'm not working atm currently making a living from gambling, been gambling in the bookies from 12 year old now 30 living in Mexico getting a turn from football and the horses. Only 5% of people can make a success of gambling,, research/control/master 1/2 sports/don't bet things that are pure chance (roulette etc)! Respect your money don't worry about the prices as long as they're winners. Great story mate, keep up the good work man.
That was really good james. Donât be too hard on yourself eating crisps. You hit the nail on the head. Living in the moment. Mastering living in the moment is the key for us all to be happy but we have built in forgetters. We forget how to be happy. Weâve been conditioned to think that weâre defined by status and material possessions. Peace and contentment is what Iâm after đđ». I can go to bed at night feeling happy, motivated but as soon as I wake up Iâve forgotten. Need to write things down or it all gone til I go to bed the following night đ€ I sent my son this vid. Heâs 24. He messaged me saying how much he resonated with you đđ»xx

James, what your saying here really resonates with me. I get it. I don't live in Glasgow but have been bought up with a Glaswegian parent and family and known many 'Jocks' growing up. The toughness and criticism is inherent as well as being great people, good fun there is IMPE the reckless behaviour to mask unhappiness. I reckon if I'd met you years ago, I'd have judged you and said you had a big arrogant ego. I wasn't at my most happiness for years either but now I'd be able to talk to you for hours and it would be enlightening for both of us. Loving what your doing â€ïž
This podcast was bang on regarding addiction, im 45 & was addicted to heroin for nearly 20 years, i came from a good honest family and got into drugs thru the usual route, progressing from 1 to the other, by 20 i was living a double life, i had a job and long term girlfriend, gradually i lost 1 then the other, then ended up living on the streets and committing crimes to feed my habit, then ended up starting prison sentences 1 after the other, but i was a late starter i hadn't been in trouble until i was 25,usually criminals are getting out of trouble, after one sentence i thought fuck it and moved away, im back on track, but live with addiction everyday still, the recovery program your starting, jumped out at me because we need to try something different to the normal ways, your a good man James and i wish you all the very best in the future, thanks for been yourself, đ
Who disliked this ?
Wow canât believe some people why dislike the truth?
Anyway well done James Iâve watched at least 6 of your podcasts and now was interested on how you started this so watching this has showed me why . Your a good man for letting people understand you and what your doing ie the homeless documentary top job .
mash thank you for the support đđŒ
Accidental probably.
I think there is a lot of truth in this "spiritual awakening". I feel that you truly have to hit rock bottom and realise it before things start to improve. I didn't realise it at the time but I realise it now. I was dealing with severe mental health problems. Getting out of that and recovering to the place I am in now is unquestionably my greatest achievement. My advice to people is that the truth sets you free. There's nothing wrong with saying "Yes, I have pretty much given up". "Yes, I have treated people like shit", "No, this isn't the way I want it to be" etc. Then you're in a position to do something about it.
