I was a binge alcoholic... It’s absolutely terrible. Everything was falling apart, but I wasn’t interested in that. All I needed was drinking, in large quantities... After delirium and a week in intensive care, I had a hard time giving up this addiction. It’s not easy. But after a few years of sobriety, you will feel the taste of life without alcohol. For me it was like a revelation, an insight...
Stu’s personal insight and honest reflections related to alcoholism certainly resonate almost entirely with mine. I also agree with the genetic inherited element - my mother was an alcoholic and it breaks my heart that my youngest son battles the demon( and cocaine) too. I always welcome the honest interaction as it does help when we support each other. There are some great channels out there…Stu’s “ Bat Country”…”LD’s”… etc.. Delerium Dirks was good but sadly we have lost him. Take care all - stay sober.🥊🤗👍” Silvo”
Really appreciate the support @silvo-sings :) really appreciate it Share the video with anyone you feel could benefit from hearing the conversation and thanks again for the input
Really looking forward to this. A cautionary tale. Stu’s book Just Crazy Enough to Work is brilliant if you really want to get the detail. I read it in 2 days. Well done Stu ❤

Quite a while ago I predicted that our man Stu...was about to be famous! Im so happy that this is true! He deserves to be watched and his stories heeded. Godspeed. You have something so special.

@@Conor-Ryan @Conor-Ryan @ Conor-Ryan I don't know who to share it with. I'll have to think about that one. Everyone in "Our Circle" watches Stu's channel He was my 200th Sub. I was watching him before I even started my channel. I actually have an idea about getting his story out there at least to one person who may not know who he is.
@@ShadesOClarityI just found this channel and interview today on Halloween 🎃! I subscribed too! It’s nice to find other channels that are helping to spread awareness. I don’t see Slayer here. If you can, please let him know. Happy Halloween Shades!🎃

The addiction to alcohol in regards to genes is always linked to how you digest alcohol. Not if you have some mystery addiction gene.. Those who process alcohol and it releases dopamine, will naturally always drink more, as each drink makes them feel better.
Very interesting Liam, thanks for the input - Share with anyone you feel could benefit from watching the vid. Sounds like an interesting episode idea. I'll see if I can find a medical expert on the genetic piece to investigate further. Many thanks
@@Conor-RyanI’m going to subscribe to your channel and I’ll be sharing your videos out. I hope you can find an expert willing to explain that to us! Thank you for all of your work!!❤
@@Conor-Ryan It is the same reason in reverse why people who cannot metabolise alcohol effectively will never become alcoholics, and basically will rarely drink if at all. It makes their face instantly flush, makes them feel dizzy and nauseous. On the other hand, every drink I consume I feel better.

@9 mins in, isolation, also, to drink alone or with people who drink the same as you , that's isolating, with alcohol, then people come or go, but alcohol becomes a constant, like that line: the carnival has left town, but we still own the site'
I view a problem drinker as someone who drinks too much, and gets in trouble due to her drinking. An alcoholic has a genetic disposition which processes alcohol and its byproducts differently than a non-alcoholic. Both need to not drink.

I know that Bat Country is heavily influenced by the great Christopher Hitchens, I see you’re also an admirer?
Ye @biglongun, I'm a huge Hitch Fan. He was a massive influence on both my writing and thinking.
@ I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for creating.
