NEVER GIVE UP!
Never Give Up is the podcast from Reset My Future, a modern recovery program for high-functioning people ready to change their relationship with alcohol or other substances—without judgement, labels, or rehab.
Hosted by people who’ve lived it, we share honest, funny, and sometimes messy conversations about what life was like before recovery… and the extraordinary lives that followed.
We’re not here to tell you there’s only one way. We question outdated models, talk about what actually works, and explore recovery in a way that’s real, practical, and human.
Whether you're just starting out or already on the path, our message is simple:
There’s always hope. There’s always a next step.
And you are never alone.
NEVER GIVE UP!
How Many Day Ones?
The Start-Over Struggle, Hair of the Dog Logic, and Monday Promises That Never Stuck
In this episode of Never Give Up, Graeme, Danielle and Melinda share raw, funny, and painfully familiar stories about the countless times they tried to start over—“Day One.”
From promising Mondays to post-Melbourne Cup breakdowns, they unpack the lies we tell ourselves (“just one more,” “after this weekend”), the shame that follows, and the truth about what makes this time different.
We also talk about the progression of substance use—how it creeps up on us without realising—and why recognising that pattern can be a powerful wake-up call. If you’d like to reflect on your own journey, we’ve opened up access to the Usage Meter module from the Reset My Future program:

Whether you’re on Day One today or just thinking about it… this one’s for you.
Never Give Up is the podcast from Reset My Future – a 12-week private online recovery program designed for high-functioning people who want to change their relationship with alcohol or other substances without labels, judgement, or rehab.
Hosted by people who’ve been there, we talk honestly (and often hilariously) about what it’s really like to get sober and build a life you don’t want to escape from.
No shame. No pressure. Just real conversations that remind you—you’re not alone, and it’s never too late to reset.
