Patrick, I’m so glad you did the hard work to recovery and continue to do so. Your videos will help many alcoholics who are struggling and sick. Thanks for your honesty. This disease affects so many families Can you do a video on enabling? ❤️🇨🇦
Powerful message that can hopefully jolt someone enough to look for support. Its an ugly disease. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make these quality and informative uploads
I used to drink heavily in the 80s, and after totaling my car, realizing I could've killed myself or someone else, I NEARLY QUIT! I have maybe 1 or 2 a month. AND NEVER DUI! Who wants to wake up with a throbbing head? Congrats on your sobriety. Losing your life savings, business and status will put you over the edge, for sure. I tried to end mine with 300 pills and miraculously failed. I guess God has bigger plans for me! Prayers for you and Mary. You are both beautiful people, who deserve a second chance!
Been a friend of Bill W. since August 23rd of 2002. The fourth dimension of existence is the life I always wanted but never thought I deserved. Extremely happy for your success and wish you and Mary the best always.
It would be interesting to hear people who got sober through ways other than AA. It doesn't work for everyone. I occasionally have dreams where i'm drinking, otherwise I never think of alcohol. It feels like my drinking years happened to another person.
I got sober after discovering Zen and its principles. Book-Zen and the art of happiness. Changed my life. Also, Abraham Maslow and Self-Actualization. Powerful. peace

Never enjoyed alcohol much except a few beers once in awhile Watched my father kill himself and dental career as a child Must of left a mark on me Hopefully your health isn’t damaged
I do think I drink too much, yet I don't drink every day. My pattern is to sip Scotch until I don't enjoy the taste and then stop. I probably drink about 500ml every other day in one time period. I drink because I get bored and to forget some family shenanigans and my combat in Iraq. I know I need to stop but it is hard.
I saw my neighbor turn to the hard stuff and lose his family, 3 jobs, license and eventually it'll be his life! He thinks the whole thing is funny, it's so sad!
I know you've stated that you never want to get back in the "business," but I've always had a dream of owning a restaurant/bar/live band venue, like a roadhouse in Northern Minnesota. I know nothing about restaurants. Would you ever consider helping me. I do have assets. My biggest problem is my lack of goals. Just think about it.
I so enjoy your videos - you’re a wonderful, supportive couple. I lost my best mate to alcohol. You’re a very good story teller - keep at it -:) 🤗 from Queensland Australia ☀️
Thank you for being honest. If only ONE alcoholic hears this❤️

I think this is true love when you try to help eachother in the relationship, when times are tuff.
38 years sober next september
It affects your life. You're damn right and are speaking the real truth! I'm like you, my wife is like these "other" people, who I envy.
My brother died because he refused to listen. His arrogance was his undoing.

Never had an alcohol problem but I struggle with motivation. I'd love you to talk about that sometime. Cheers.

Alcohol is a slow death, Fentanyl is quick.

you have already made this video 😀
Correct. Trying to show new viewers a shorter version. The original versions are about 8 minutes.
@@Destin60-hm2shit’s good to hammer in the truth!

Bears repeating.
Interesting information to look up is the medical studies of peoples health during probation. I think they had it right.
