DJ fat tony tells his story
Tony has worked with the biggest names on the planet from Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, The Beckhams, Elton John and many more but Tony's life wasn't all glitz and glam spent over 28 years a drug addict, tony spent over 1 Million pounds on drugs and ended up homeless on countless occasions.
Tony was 14 when He started drinking, and 16 when He discovered drugs after Freddie Mercury gave him his first line of coke.
Nightclubs were Tony’s escape, helping him to mask the pain of traumatic childhood sexual abuse. For a while, drugs were fun and life was brilliant until he tried to commit suicide after it all got to much.

Thanks James, I've been in recovery for a few years but not pulling my weight of late and stopped working the steps so of course the old behavours have creeped back into my life again and today in particular i've been up all night stinking thinking. So to get a notification this morning with this podcast has been the kick up the arse I needed, defo going to seek out a meeting today, it's been too long. Thanks again to you both for the inspiration to get the ball rolling . Love & Respect G
Good for you brother
Good luck 👍
Best of luck 👍🏼
Good luck pal
Keep coming back buddy!! 👍
Love his honesty, so many addicts are ashamed of their past and wont take responsibility for it
By far the best yet. What an incredible story. No ego, no big look at me, just the realities and an incredible victory over addiction. Funny guy too. Amen.
Can't believe I'm watching this interview,,, Tony was absolutely an inspiration in my own recovery, what the black lady was to him in that meeting was what Tony was to me,, when he told his story,it's been twelve years, one day at a time,in recovery for me, so I would just like to thank him so very much,if you could pass my thanks on to Tony I would appreciate it and be forever grateful
Great stuff brother, I,m constantly battling alcohol and prescription drugs . Im currently 4 months sober now.1 day at a time.Without a doubt watching your good self, Shaun and TG has helped me through some tough ,lonely hours in early recovery.im not good on social media but felt you should know that your work is making a difference and giving hope to people who are rapidly losing perspective on their lives.So massive thanks my friend.whatever youre doing for you is working,looking great brother.
Im 50 years old now nd had issues for most of my life. Iv got all the tools to combat or overcome my addictions,however those tools are no good to me if the toolbox is properly padlocked {denial} nd cant get into it.It has to come from within to unlock my tools and access them.your podcasts help me realise that im not alone.Thanks again brother,your work has enabled me to focus each day,1 at a time
God luck with everything bro 4 months is amazing! Fucking keep it up!
Good luck. The next 4 months will go even quicker and easier.
Good luck Kevin
Welldone 4 months is a long time Welldone your body will be feeling so much better. Goodluck

Great podcast James 👍🏻 what an honest bloke tony is seems such a grounded individual down to earth like
Incredible life story, some people seem pre destined in life to lead a drug & alcohol journey. Then bounce back again and help so many people on similar paths. Hope Tony can continue & inspire many other souls. Amazing story & life.
This has been one of my favourites. I cannot wait to read his book.
Brilliant podcast
Thank you James
Tony you are inspirational. Thank you for you’re complete honesty, life is such a learning process, one of which you should be proud xx
Met him a few times in turnmills when he was out of his head , no wonder he gave it up he was an annoying person

Thanks brother

These Guests / Interviews just keep getting better and better, these podcasts will hopefully help millions of people eventually. Even if a million views just changes 1 person its worth it. Keep up the amazing work James.
Thanks brother
What an interview james very open and honest from “fat” tony, glad to see he turned his life around
The only thing he left the house with was the mirror he used to rack up on. That is a proper addict!!
James have you considered making a 'Clips' channel? Love watching the full podcasts just slightly inconvenient having to try and skim through all the videos to find them
Very funny man, great stories.
James as always doing great work keep it up lad
"Gust of wind came in" Indeed James, chills! Great interview! Big love, guys!

❤️❤️

This is absolutely fascinating! My God. I'm in awe. I had to edit my comment.
I started watching you a year or so back (barely able to understand you or your guests) and I am so fortunate. You and the people you interview are *hugely inspiring* and a cache of real, truly genuine knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for freely sharing so much of what you've learned and motivating me. When you spoke about rewiring neural pathways, that hit deep. I really hope I can learn more for the sake of my future. *THANK YOU* from the bottom of my heart. 🖤🖤🖤
Also, the suit looks great! 👌
Thanks Michelle ❤️
have you had to learn Scottish then? haha
@@JamesEnglish Thank YOU! Tony was great, too! I really love this one. 🖤
@@patsyballantyne9886 Ha ha! It took a few times of slowing down the videos and turning on closed captioning. Lol! I still find myself looking up obscure words like "girn". 😄 It's totally worth it, though.
another great show, excellent how you pressed him about finding peace with hid dad,
fascinating interview
This is one of the best James this guy has lived an interesting life. Love the suit
James bhoy what a podcast mate I bet 90 % of the population cld relate to at least of one of Tony's stories weather it be personally a family member or friends. I love hearing these stories about mental health because I am always learing weather it be for myself or try help someone else people like Tony are inspirational because they are real God bless
Thanks brother

15 years on smack and crack now clean since 2005
Maybe james might do my book
He sure nuff got more energy than me I'm burnt out
As a regular clubber in London at the same time he was playing at places like the Leisure Lounge, Club UK, Turnmills and some festivals, I honestly and truly believed he had passed away some time ago. There was definitely news at one time, for sure, because I am still in shock that he is still alive and on this podcast..... !!!
Tony has had a mad life, another great story James 👍🏻
Cheers Gary
Can’t believe I’ve just came across this!! Watch Tony’s podcast the the rehab... good watch
