No, that one would be the son because he lived with one parent who is down bad with their alcoholism and another parent who is a codependent and who is buying the alcohol. That child should have been taken care of by the child protective services instead of being broken down in that miserable ”home”.
@@soilgrasswaterair woah there! And care homes are better? No matter how rubbish they might be, study after study shows biological parents are the right place for children to be on the whole
I don't give two fucks whether he's alive or dead. look at the STATE of him. He has WERNICKES KORSAKOFF. That's why he can't remember anything. He has NO self awareness whatsoever.
Hard to believe that this is the same guy. He looks younger, even if he's older. And his eyes are so full of life. Wish him and his Family nothing but the best. Keep sober, man 👍🏻
It’s strange, I randomly thought about your documentary and John in particular today, and now I see this. I am so happy to see he’s quit the alcohol and is still alive. He looks so much better
How beautiful his last comments "It can be done, and I am still standing. Over and out" Super vlog will have a great impact on many peoples, and we all can learn from this video. Thanks, you for sharing with us. Never too late to change.
So inspiring this, I've watched the 1st video of 7 years ago, I'm glad he quit alcohol, really interesting the way he approached his problem with alcohol, " the door is shut/ meaningless/ no value and move on! I'm nearly 40 days sober. I shut the door and opened a new as well 🙏
My dad never got sober. Started drinking at 36. Dead by 68. Yesterday, I hit 7 months of no alcohol and I don't ever want to go back to it. it's been a year since he left us. I miss my dad terribly.
Damn! I’m showing this to my brother . He’s in same condition as your uncle was. If this guy can do it then maybe he can too, your uncles going to save a lot of lives, Just by saving 😊himself. Thank you for this video.
I watched your original interview so many times. So great to see your Uncle John living a better life. Art is critical in our society, so happy to see him expressing emotions in a healthy way.
He's alive! Wow, I can't believe it. I think about him alot since I saw the first film. He actually looks so much younger, even though he's grey and wizard-like you can see his wrinkles aren't as deep, his eyes are brighter, he's animated when he moves. It's proof that it's NEVER too late to quit. Makes me so happy that he's ok. I'm currently 1 year and 8 months sober and thriving.
Saw the first part, and I feared for the worst. Hearing that John got sober truly brightens my day. He always seemed like a remarkable human being. I would love to know more about who he was, before alcohol became a problem.
When ' IT ' finally clicks there is no difference between 1 day sober or 50 years sober. Heard so many ex-addicts talk about ' IT ' and ' IT ' cannot be explained.
Oh my god! I cannot believe what i'm seeing! This is incredible! His first video years ago stuck with me for such a long time. I was sure he only had a couple of months to live. Now he seems to be thriving, even if he is smoking like a chimney 😂
Well done my man! I've just past 7 years sober and I get the I'm not in recovery quote as I feel the same. To me that was another life, its strange how people see things differently. Again well done man!
Absolutely agree. Why put a label on yourself to keep you stuck in it? it's a formula for relapse. If you quit smoking. You don't go around saying I'm a smoker in recovery.
Well done. I watched the first doco about 5 or so years ago just after I'd left my alcoholic ex (who looked almost identical, if not worse at the time), and I never forgot it. I'm so glad for his recovery, but I think I really love his attitude to his journey. Some people walk around wearing their recovery/sobriety as some kind of sanctimonious medal to promote, rather than taking it for the personal lesson and struggle that it is. Kudos 🙏
Thank you. I find his attitude to it pretty interesting. I get that some people may find counting the days helpful, but to him the idea of it just doesn't make sense. I guess what works for one person, may not necessarily work for another. But hopefully there's a positive message here for all.
I am a much younger man, but also struggling with alcohol for about a decade now. I saw the original short interview with him probably 5 years ago, and it stuck with me deeply. I started trying to stop then, to varying amounts of fleeting success. I’m struggling badly again and I just watched it after searching specifically for it once more, wondered if you’d posted any updates. It feels like a sign that this was literally just posted 3 days ago. Well done to your uncle.
Four days sober after drinking heavily for six or seven years.. Finding it so hard not to pick up a drink, but watching this is giving me the mental strength I need right now. Congratulations on getting clean.
Hey wondered how your getting after the first 4 days? I always seem to drop the ball at about day 3/4 myself and I've been a heavy drinker 7/8 years myself so yeah just hoping you've stuck to it
Please tell your Uncle he is inspirational. Thank him for making this choice because it inspires me to battle my own struggles with a few forms of addiction.
Amazing to see after the first documentary that he’s still alive and way more cogent than before. I’d love to see a follow up to a Royal Hangover - especially in the light of COVID and the effect it had on people’s drinking. Hope he stays well!
I saw the original documentary not two days ago. Imagine my surprise about this update coming out right now. When I clicked on it I definitely wasn't expecting what I ended up seeing: I assumed that there is no way back for someone in the state of your uncle, and I am glad have be proven wrong!
After finding my best friend dead due to his alcohol addiction ...I ironically became a alcoholic . We were freinds for many years after both beating a long addiction to heroin...I have been clean 18 years....but finding him dead screwed me up so much I started drinking( I did not drink before) I still have the odd drink but want to quit completely, Its the king demon of all drugs ...I know this as I was addicted to heroin and other drugs for 12 long years .. Bravo to this lovely dude. The thing with booze is you drink to be happier but it takes your happiness away .
I hope you are doing well. Grief is such an overwhelming feeling, so I can see why you are self medicating. I hope you can honor your friend by eventually stop drinking, as I am sure that's what he would like for you. I wish you all the best.
The thing about alcoholism is that it's not only self destructive, but can be very destructive towards almost everyone around you. Heroin is sorta a self-contained burn out, while booze it's like lighting a lap full of fireworks and screaming the whole way out. It's truly horrible stuff. My best friend of over a decade ended up offing himself whilst he was drunk and I swear if it weren't for the booze he might still be here. Booze warps the brain and our perspective of life severely and if you have mental health issues it does that ten fold. I hope you find some peace, and just know that things can and do get better. I'm 4 years off alcohol myself and it has done wonders for me.
I've seen many docs of this type, frustrated too at the lack of follow-ups this is superb - what happened to the folks filmed in the "Drinking for England" episode from the late 90s?
He looks so much better. He has more hope and brightness in his eyes 😃It takes alot of strength to stay sober and I just hope and pray that he has 10 months later as I'm writing this. To everyone trying to stay sober, keep going, you are amazing and so strong and things will get easier 💖much love and prayers to you all
Thank you for filming this, and to your uncle for his candor. Interesting that he posited trauma as a possible cause of why he drank. It was likely the main cause of my drinking. A characteristic developed, that looked like selfishness, to navigate this ongoing trauma. Which in retrospect, after many years divorced from drinking, I realize was self-preservation. Alcohol is a nasty drug. Nicotine was harder to quit. The Benefits of not drinking were easier to see. I really like uncle's paintings. I also like your video and how It was assembled. Thank you
That selfishness/self preservation preceded my drinking to excess . 99.7% Of the time to excess. The drinking was done to Make my selfishness disappear. It didn't work. I felt like I needed to clear up my previous comment. Thank you again for doing this Mr. Cauty and Mr. Cauty.
It's great to see your uncle sober!!! Fantastic! 👍 He's an inspiration to others including myself, I'm struggling so bad, i may not beat the bottle, the clock is running out of time snd I'm not young anymore.
I appreciate your uncle sharing his story and his trust in you to tell it through your film. My father has gone on a similar journey and I recently released a documentary of his story. It is very similar and I can relate to your journey making these films.
Interesting to see the younger photos of him. So vibrant and full of life. It's amazing how things in a person's life change and therefore how they choose to live going forward...
i remember watching the first one, i repeated it a bunch of times. this one is amazing too, im glad to see he's still kicking and doing artwork. dont wait 10 years to do the next one. like, try again in a year.
What a wise man. He sounds like a mystic out of india. Can't believe how he rides life. That's why he is still is alive i think. He doesn't let the past kill him.
Us artists are the ones that struggle the most. It's not us, it's what's "out there"... we prefer what's in our imagination and that doesn't fit with the "social norm" I don't do real drugs anymore but I'm all for people that take LCD, shrooms etc. I'm a real crap weed smoker lol. One drag batters me. But, I think this all the time. The more creative the person, the harder it is in life. We struggle to conform to what everyone else deems "normal".
Alcohol is probably easier to give up than smoking. Both are addictive substances and both are terrible afflictions. Your uncle looks much better, despite the stroke. BTW: Spotted Everton Water Tower.
I'm coming up to 5 yrs of being alcohol free after about 40 years of drinking, the last 10 or 15 years of which were heavy daily drinking. I'll never go back to that voluntary servitude. If you'd like to stop but just can't yet imagine a life without drinking please know it is possible.
I am glad this man has stopped drinking BUT JFC the selfishness and narcissism. What does this man give back to society? What damage has he inflicted on his loved ones and especially his child? In all the comments down below I see no mention of his wife nor does he mention her and her obvious grace, love and patience. The woman is a saint and he gives her no credit at all, he would not exist or have a home without her devotion. He seems to take her for granted.
watced the origanal a number of times and would get the odd update, whata wonder full video to see him again and doing so well, all the best to you all
My main takeaway from this video is that - it's so obvious that it isn't in America. If this man lived in America, he'd have ended up in the streets due to a totally indifferent and inadequate healthcare system.
It says in the video that Librium was prescribed, and that one day, he decided to take it, i.e., he took personal responsibility. Don't blame the healthcare system for his predicament. The only thing inadequate and indifferent is the government running a healthcare system.
Alcoholism and recovery from it is a daily mystery. I'm quite some time off, and I want to stay off. My way was and is AA. Besides the consumption of alcohol, I've got still a bunch of questions about my life, my way of thinking and feeling. I remember social issues since kindergarten, and mental issues before the end of school. This affected me my whole life and it still does. The severe consequences of drunkenness are over, but there are other issues left. I'm not sure to get that solved in a way if like say mission accomplished. I try to make progress but I don't know what and when the goal of my life is reached. Today it's quite ok, I'm fine, eat properly, had contact with an AA friend, went to a meeting, and did not post nasty comments on the web 😂. Have a great day, and be thankful for the life you have. Its easier to be grateful.
Wait HE IS ALIVE!!🤯...Who else is here because of the first video
His wife is the one that deserves the most praise, living with an alcoholic is a horrible way to live.
I know, and I am sorry 😞
Red, you are 10000000% right, it's a fucking nightmare.
Terrible Terrible way to die
No, that one would be the son because he lived with one parent who is down bad with their alcoholism and another parent who is a codependent and who is buying the alcohol.
That child should have been taken care of by the child protective services instead of being broken down in that miserable ”home”.
@@soilgrasswaterair woah there! And care homes are better? No matter how rubbish they might be, study after study shows biological parents are the right place for children to be on the whole
This guy has lived in my head since seeing the first film. I can’t believe he’s alive. I’m glad he’s okay
Sounds like you need to get a life.
I don't give two fucks whether he's alive or dead. look at the STATE of him. He has WERNICKES KORSAKOFF. That's why he can't remember anything. He has NO self awareness whatsoever.
Hard to believe that this is the same guy. He looks younger, even if he's older. And his eyes are so full of life. Wish him and his Family nothing but the best. Keep sober, man 👍🏻
And he's not suffering 3 major alcohol-induced injuries every month like before.
It’s strange, I randomly thought about your documentary and John in particular today, and now I see this. I am so happy to see he’s quit the alcohol and is still alive. He looks so much better
I could listen to this man for hours.
Good lord, I'm surprised he's still alive. Well done on getting sober!
Are they sober now?
@@matthewwhittaker478No.
I didn't realize how much time had passed to this video I said he's done on the part 1 video I'm glad he's still here
He looks much better. What a turnaround
He’s absolutely correct. It can be done. Had my last drink October 31, 1987. I am now 62 years old…praise be to God

This is great. I just rewatched the first one after a few years, then this pops up. 8 years sober myself, good for you sir!

Its easier to be grateful.
