Benedict’s fathers’ definition of alcoholism as a disease is spot on. No matter who you are, it can take over your life. My husband will have 25 years of sobriety this July. I am so proud of him, but like I’ve told him and those in his 12 step groups over the years, it isn’t his fault that he’s an alcoholic, but it IS his responsibility, ❤
I work in pharmacy at one of our local hospitals and I see patients like Benedict and it breaks my heart 💔💔I’m so proud that he got help and you play the trumpet beautifully
That’s a CT scanner, not an MRI. It’s like a 3D x-ray, while an MRI is a big magnet. They usually don’t do MRI scans on initial contact with trauma patients because their medical history isn’t known. If the patient has some kind of metal in their body, the MRI will rip it out, while the CT scan won’t.
John, such a sweetheart ❤️ I hope he gets better 😢 I’ve watched this before some time ago, he is certainly unforgettable! I forget what happens to all these patients….Let me watch
@@bushlovesska Lol, why on earth do you think this comment is controversial? This comment is perfectly good and cannot be removed. When the body doesn't work like in the case diabetes, then it is a disease. But when we have An overly big intake of an ingredient like alcohole, then we have abuse. Love.
It's complicated. Type 2 diabetes is, in fact, caused by an abuse of sugar, of carbohydrates. Cut back on carbs, lose weight, and type 2 diabetes will go away. And many people can abuse alcohol from time to time, but never become a true alcoholic, which is someone who is so addicted that he or she feels ill without it. To overcome true alcoholism requires medical detox and long-term support. If an alcoholic stops drinking suddenly, he or she can die from the physical withdrawal consequences. To attempt to do so would be dangerous.
I think it would be too intrusive. They 've already sacrificed their privacy in the hospital, and then months later (even a year or more) for the first update. Life has to go on, and at some point they just don't want a camera crew in their face again.
So, this episode is from 2012. I'd love to know how Benedict is now. I have been sober since 10/4/01 and I was only 25. I understand being the young person and it's a struggle, but it's possible!
My mother was an alcoholic, I didn't like who she became, but I didn't enable her addition either, she was a funny, wonderful soul, who couldn't beat it, and died when she was 54. I could totally relate with his father, I hope he stays recovered, 1 day at a time, he has a musical gift. ❤
I felt so sorry for the man with the stroke. The memory problems were so sad. I have had 5 head injuries in my life. I understand about the memory problems. I had to relearn words. It certainly made life a struggle. I hope he does well.
The kid at the end, just wow. You have actual parents that love you. You take full advantage of them and THEY let you! So much dysfunction in this family.😢😢 you are still so young, and you are the only one who can save you. You are your only chance.believe in yourself ❤
Waking up in an Er strapped too all different tubes and wires with a bunch of medical professionals working on you and having no idea how you got there must be terrifying
Been there done that myself and terrifying is an understatement I got up and ripped off my wires etc then went to find my newborn son he was the only thing I remembered I didn't know my own name didn't recognize my mum nothing I thought it was 20 years earlier than it was etc. I ended up being tackled back onto the bed and near sedated . My first ever seizure
When the doctor asked John what year it was and he gave the wrong answer...he should have just left it there and not corrected him. It obviously caused him a lot of distress. That should be discussed. 😢
I get Benedict’s dad I have a drug addicted son he’s 42. I have spent my superannuation money on a house for him as he can’t hold a rental. He had an acquired Brain injury when he was 15 and that changed his life. When he’s clean he’s beautiful but when on the meth it’s horrendous
amnesia sucks. I've had it happen to me from a big fall about 12ft in a tree and I was hitting the tree branches on the way down as a pre teen and next thing i know is that I was in the ER parking lot. I was wondering where I was and then ouch my arm hurts. I didn't know my name,where i was,who my parents were, what happened and where i lived. I had a broken arm and a bad concussion. My brother said I was carried in the car and while my dad was carrying me was mumbling and spit bubbles were coming out of my mouth. I still can't remember the actual fall like how It happened. I think I was trying to get down the tree. 🤔
I don’t know that kicking someone out of a home is ever a solution but in some cases there do need to be consequences for actions and tough love. You can always love your child unconditionally without enabling them. I can’t imagine how hard that line is to find though and I’m sure it’s different for each person and family.
It's not a solution! But sometimes, you can't help a person anymore (if he or, she denies all help) and then you need to protect yourself... Cause there is no point in destroying yourself to a point where you can't help that person anymore, once he/she came 'round
You clearly do not understand that alcoholism is a disease. The young man wants to do better, and he deserves support to do that. Making it a moral issue is why America has such problems with alcoholism.
One day at a time benedict.,. I have been sobber 33 yrs. The only time i drink is a shot on my birthday my sons birthday my granddaughters birthdays my parents birthday and death days. I still have alcohol left from my 50th and ill be t56 this yr
alcoholism is not a disease. it's an addiction. how are we redefining this? it's not something that 'grabs you' - you do it to yourself. benedict said himself -- 'i wanted the attention, i wanted the care...' he also said it was an addiction. thank goodness he knew what it was, because it seemed like his dad sure didn't.
Some people can drink and be ok. Others get hooked and end up needing to drink. You don't know how it will affect you when you do it. So it can become a disease.
Come on Alaska, Hawaii BCDG Fans step up. Granted the shipping on the goat to Hawaii and the quarantine would be fun. If they can ship cow to Israel then they can fly a goat to Hawaii❤❤❤
When that stroke patient went into the scan all happy then realized his right side was paralyzed and asked why isnt it working was heartbreaking
Yes i cried
Benedict’s fathers’ definition of alcoholism as a disease is spot on. No matter who you are, it can take over your life. My husband will have 25 years of sobriety this July. I am so proud of him, but like I’ve told him and those in his 12 step groups over the years, it isn’t his fault that he’s an alcoholic, but it IS his responsibility, ❤
Excellent thought process...it is not my fault but it is my responsibility. Very relatable.
I like your last sentence, spot on
He has a terminal illness that only he can put into remission.
All the best for your husband he's doing so well he's doing well because he has a lovely caring wife ❤
I work in pharmacy at one of our local hospitals and I see patients like Benedict and it breaks my heart 💔💔I’m so proud that he got help and you play the trumpet beautifully
Benedict’s dad has completely unconditional love for his son, it’s beautiful and sad at the same time.
John was heartbreaking. When he realized it wasn't 2008 😢
John is a proud man and was determined to get onto that MRI bed somehow. Bless him, I cried with him.
That’s a CT scanner, not an MRI. It’s like a 3D x-ray, while an MRI is a big magnet. They usually don’t do MRI scans on initial contact with trauma patients because their medical history isn’t known. If the patient has some kind of metal in their body, the MRI will rip it out, while the CT scan won’t.
It broke my heart when John was asked what year it was and he didn't know. That's a hard thing to take in when you're in that predicament.
These people, this ER staff, they are all so kind, so caring. How wonderful they are.
John, such a sweetheart ❤️ I hope he gets better 😢 I’ve watched this before some time ago, he is certainly unforgettable! I forget what happens to all these patients….Let me watch
There needs to be way more people in this world like benedict's father. ❤
I hope Benedict gets the help he needs, please get the help! 😢 Good, he went to detox….Stay sober Benedict! You got this!
I vaguely remember this one from long ago. It is so disappointing to get a new episode then realise you have seen it already. From Johannesburg.
Bless Benedict. I hope he can fight his way through such a terrible disease.
aloholism is not a disease. it is an abuse of alcohole.
@@scottwarren4998~~ Do your research ~~ it IS a disease, you Wally ! BTW, it’s ALCOHOLISM and alcohol has no E in it !!!
@@scottwarren4998haha oh bless your heart. I suppose diabetes is an abuse of sugar then love

Benedict needs intervention and to be in Rehab for months, not just a few days. Such a lovely young man.
Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could see an update on the patients? I pray everyone did well after this show was aired in 2012.
I think it would be too intrusive. They 've already sacrificed their privacy in the hospital, and then months later (even a year or more) for the first update. Life has to go on, and at some point they just don't want a camera crew in their face again.
Benedict broke my heart 😢 bless him ❤
Thanks for the video. I’ve seen it before but it’s a good one, I enjoyed watching again. Poor John, that story was sad!
So, this episode is from 2012. I'd love to know how Benedict is now. I have been sober since 10/4/01 and I was only 25. I understand being the young person and it's a struggle, but it's possible!
I’m loving hospital videos.
Benedict, you can do it! In Jesus' mighty name, may he deliver you from alcohol addiction!! Great job at trumpeting!!
Benedict u r adorable also your father. I pray u get better and healthy happy and have a family of your own someday. ❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning Banijay, and everyone ❤️🙂⚘️🏥.
I'm so glad I found this... I haven't seen any of these and I've been binge watching it! Thank you!
My mother was an alcoholic, I didn't like who she became, but I didn't enable her addition either, she was a funny, wonderful soul, who couldn't beat it, and died when she was 54. I could totally relate with his father, I hope he stays recovered, 1 day at a time, he has a musical gift. ❤
Benedict is so lucky to have someone like his dad in his life ❤
John, you are wearing Maori pounamu....YOU HAVE THE strength to given to you by this precious stone....YOU GOT THIS JOHN!!!!!
Kia kaha , Hone.❤
Please keep the Benejay Blue light going episodes …I watch it all the time.. thank you!!
You can do it Benedict!!! Hang in there! ❤❤
I felt so sorry for the man with the stroke. The memory problems were so sad.
I have had 5 head injuries in my life. I understand about the memory problems. I had to relearn words. It certainly made life a struggle.
I hope he does well.

A 3 day program isn't going to cut it but this video is from 12 years ago.
It didn't work in the 60s. You would think they would have learned.
The kid at the end, just wow. You have actual parents that love you. You take full advantage of them and THEY let you! So much dysfunction in this family.😢😢 you are still so young, and you are the only one who can save you. You are your only chance.believe in yourself ❤
Oh my. So many blessings...

My first ever seizure
I have thought this same thing. I cannot imagine.
Awesome episode. It was nice to see Kevin. Have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️🏥.
When the doctor asked John what year it was and he gave the wrong answer...he should have just left it there and not corrected him. It obviously caused him a lot of distress. That should be discussed. 😢
What a great Dad!
What a wonderful father!
They only stopped the withdrawal for a few hours, it comes right back in a few. I think they treated the young man like crap
It is a hospital. Withdrawal requires allied and medical intervention along with the cooperation of the person.
I respect all the doctors and nurses and the people who are hurting and love concors all God bless
Keep fighting Benedict. It's an everyday struggle for some it's by the hour. But you can do it
So sad as John want to move and his right site dindt move 😢
"I dont want to marry you " means exactly that. How could she think otherwise? 🤔
You can do it, Benedict! 😊❤

Benedict has a wonderful father.
Poor John.
Benedict’s dad is definitely an enabler and he doesn’t even realize that what he’s doing to him is not helping his son at all 😢

Sweet Benedict ❤
Awww that poor man asking for help for alcohol problems😢
Ok, so if that woman is the other blonds woman’s mother, I’m Mother Theresa . lol
You have a great dad benedict
the dad, the enabler .... tidy work to you sir.
Oh John 💔
Dad is an enabler, letting son drink and not face the consequences of his behavior. Until he does face it, he won’t get better
You clearly do not understand that alcoholism is a disease. The young man wants to do better, and he deserves support to do that. Making it a moral issue is why America has such problems with alcoholism.
Очень классный сериал!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Храни Господь всех медицинских работников!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good episode but it is disappointing when you think you're going to see a new episode and it is one you've already seen.
Alcoholidm is not like cancer or MS. It is self induced. Personal accountability.
Sounds good, what is it?
One day at a time benedict.,. I have been sobber 33 yrs. The only time i drink is a shot on my birthday my sons birthday my granddaughters birthdays my parents birthday and death days. I still have alcohol left from my 50th and ill be t56 this yr
Chrissie does not deserve snything you say no to a guy you are meant to be alone... Man women like that..
What Benjamin's father Damian doesn't appear to realize is that, odds are, he will not be around to coddle his son forever. So sad. 🤨
Benedict is my life
alcoholism is not a disease. it's an addiction. how are we redefining this? it's not something that 'grabs you' - you do it to yourself. benedict said himself -- 'i wanted the attention, i wanted the care...' he also said it was an addiction. thank goodness he knew what it was, because it seemed like his dad sure didn't.
Some people can drink and be ok. Others get hooked and end up needing to drink. You don't know how it will affect you when you do it. So it can become a disease.
It is a disease because you start it out of a mental problem, and then you can't just willingly stop it. It's a mental and physical disease.
Addiction is a disease. Full stop.
Benedict 💔
Come on Alaska, Hawaii BCDG Fans step up. Granted the shipping on the goat to Hawaii and the quarantine would be fun. If they can ship cow to Israel then they can fly a goat to Hawaii❤❤❤
Recycled episode. Aren’t there any new ones?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Alcoholism is a horrible disease 😢
Benedict needs something more than his alcohol, like mental health assistance.😊
Old af😢
If your well enough to be stuffing your face, go see your GP - stop cluttering up A & E
