Hi John.

I preordered your book.

I hope it makes you rich.

But not rich enough to retire.

Stole your front cover picture for the PCD group. Hope that’s ok? Your book is SIGNIFICANT!!

❤️

I’m 140 days AF & it all started at Dancing With Dave in Manchester. I fell off the wagon after losing my dog & couldn’t seem to stop. My pilgrimage was *DWD & watching you all DJ! Never looked back 🥰 Great news on the book …can’t wait!

You absolute legend! ❤️🫶❤️🫶❤️🫶 Can’t wait to see you all in Llandudno 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

✅ Pre-ordered

*All my friends? (But DWD has stuck!) 🤣

Pre ordered! Waterstones have it listed in the humour > general humour section. Should it be humour (general)?

My pre-order: present and correct. I work in publishing, in marketing, and never pre-order anything myself, so consider this A Good Sign. Absolutely amazing cover - get it up on your IG and a link to pre-order in your bio, John. Don’t be shy. x

Pre ordered John and so looking forward to reading it. I’m 12 years sober and don’t read as many sobriety memoirs these days but I can’t wait for yours. Went to see Howl (on my own!) in Liverpool (which was great) and will see you, Elis and Dave in the Autumn. Thanks for putting it all down in words - I hope the book is a great success X

6.5 years sober here, but started listening to the pod a couple of years earlier. Once sober, it did occur to me, without wanting to cast judgement and take inventory, that your relationship with alcohol may not be too healthy...

So I was thrilled for you (having developed that attachment that forms when you've spent hundreds of hours with someone talking in your ears about their life) when you revealed your sobriety journey, and your continued navigation through sober waters ever since. I took a friend to see 'Howl' last year, and he said it really opened his eyes to some of the things I would've experienced in my own struggles.

Can't wait to read this!

Just pre ordered the book. Hope you mention Rioja. I love Rioja. Regards, Neal McAlindon. P.S. why aren’t you both playing Belfast. Our crowds are the most fun.

Wishing you all the best with the publication of your book. It’s a scary thing to put yourself out there like that.

This is very pleasing! I am so looking forward to reading your book, and have placed my pre-order. I’d like to think I’ll forget about it and get a lovely surprise when it arrives next May, but I know I won’t. Well done for being brave enough to put an honest memoir out into the world - that takes real courage. I hope that whatever plaudits it wins, that you believe them and take them to heart. X

And we love you John.

Can’t wait to read your magnum opus. Or to see you in two woks in Cambridge. I am your very own groupie.

Oh, and well done for finishing it; I have spent 10 years not starting mine….

Weeks obvs, not woks. Although two woks in Cambridge could be the start of a novel…

Jonny Jay Arr. I can’t work out if the infrequent publishing of your vibemails is genius or madness/maddening?

Pre-ordered the signed one for some reason, hope it comes with an amusing anecdote or fact, or maybe you can just update me on your bench, squat and deadlift stats and any good golf tips you got from Beef? Sounds like a fair value exchange then. Deal?

Wish you all the best with the book sales. Luke.
