Story Time: Where did it all go wrong?

Menace to Sobriety

Dan is turning 39 and decided he wanted to look back on his life along with his audience and take a look at his relationship with alcohol, to see if he can see where things might have got difficult for him and even see if he can pinpoint some of the causes of his problem drinking.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Dan has always been highly driven especially when it comes to comedy, writing and creating. He also admits to having a big chip on his shoulder which has a wide-reaching impact on how he approaches life.
• Having a difficult childhood can mean that you spend a lot of your life trying to prove yourself, to yourself and the world around you.
• It’s easy to blame your parents but they are only human, most people just try their best but will make mistakes along the way.
• When Dan was young, drinking was a big part of youth culture, there often wasn’t much else to do. This set him up for weekends of drinking for the next 20 years.
• At 18 Dan moved abroad to be an entertainer it was whilst out here he auditioned to perform on a cruise and this is when he felt his life changed, he knew what he wanted to do for the rest of his life; entertain people.
