From the publisher
Two Doting Dads is a podcast series that follows the parenting escapades of two good mates, Matty J and Ash Wicks. Like all good modern relationships, they met on Instagram and instantly bonded over the fact that they were both sleep-deprived Dads doing their best to dote over their two children. They share a very laid-back style to parenting, they don't pretend to be experts and they celebrate every single parenting mishap (which there are plenty). If you're listening for parenting advice, you've come to the wrong podcast.

#211 Ash's Sobriety & The Moment That Had Us All In Tears
It's a heavy ep today but an important one. Ash opens up about his sobriety journey now he's made it to day 100... a milestone he and Matt weren’t sure he’d reach. Ash stopped drinking simply to have a break - but what it unleashed is something bigger than he could've ever imagined and now he's not sure he can go back. It’s a really honest and, at times, emotional chat. We touch on mental health and some of the struggles he’s faced along the way. Importantly though, Ash is in a really good headspace right now and this is him reflecting on some of the tougher times. As always, we’re super proud of him and grateful he felt comfortable sharing it with you all.
