Hey, I have an idea.🤔, why not make up a story or tell the viewers what's going on in the world with UFOs, government tests, drones, Radio phenomenon.. it's factually happening, no need to embellish. Scary sh** is happening my fellow traveler.. Project blue beam, Remember Mysterio from Spider-Man,. Not science fiction, science fact.
I became 33 this year. I have been seriously addicted for more than 10 years now. Next week I am going to see my mum and dad for the first time in almost three years. I had to cry a little bit hearing that story.
34 going on 35 was clean for 5 years started again during covid and been pulling myself out the pit alchol and myself put myself in. Good luck and u can do it
It's totally true. Does that mean that Dougie's videos are not actually real-life stories; the anecdotes said by people he's met? I'm a new subscriber so now I'm wondering if they're all made up. Which is okay, I just wish that fact was more transparent..
@ No I don’t believe the stories are true. I know that he Will preface with all the stories being based on some true fact but there’s no way but all these things can happen to one person so absolutely not true. But man is he a damn good storyteller. He deserves subscribers.
Perception is a crazy thing! Once we change the “I have to” to “I get to” we have the ability to change our lives. Thank you for this beautiful story Dougie!!
I love that we don’t just get an entertaining story but insightful views on life and interesting social commentary. It takes the stories to a different level.
As the eldest grown daughter who's dad can't admit he struggles with alcohol, where he plays a huge victim/hero role and attacks whenever we tell him our feelings (I am now no contact)- your kiddo/s WILL appreciate and look up to you when you turn your life around and move away from the unhealthy coping mechanism. When you're fully present :) You're worthy of living a full, happy, self loving and proud life - remember that. You can do this 🙏🏽
My late Grampy (who raised me from 3 days old) was named Henry & was a recovering alcoholic in his later years (after losing my Grammy, his wife of 40 years) who learned a lot of similarly powerful life lessons that he passed along many of to me before I lost him. I'm also personally coming up on 2 years clean and sober at the end of this month. Needless to say, I definitely had to wipe tears at the end of this one, guys. Thank you for this inadvertant reminder of what a special person I was brought up by and a reflection on what its taken mentally and how much I've overcome to pull myself out of that hell. Great story. 🤘🏻
This was one of the best renditions of A Christmas Carol I have ever heard. It is timeless, yet totally modern. He took an internal journey just like Scrooge. There were even three “ghosts “ that he encountered who helped him to become the better man! There were many parallels, yet it was a new journey. Thanks so much for sharing this story. It’s something we can all learn from and relate to in one form or another. Whether your stories are over an hour or less than a half hour, they are all top notch! If you don’t post until after Xmas, I hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas and an awesome New Year!! Lora.
Hang in there, just get back on that horse and start your journey again. I spent 21 years on that path. I have nine sober now but it took a long time and quite a few relapses to get there.
Darn. My comment was erased for some reason. This story was wonderful and gave me a new way to approach the gentleman I work with. I am a drug and alcohol counselor and this story was absolutely perfect for what many of them are facing at this time in their lives. I want to personally thank you for telling this story. It is different from the others but refreshing and inspiring. You never know who needed to hear this. Every story isn't gonna be everyone's cup of tea but keep doing what you are doing because no one else does it better than you two. God bless you guys and I'll be sharing this story with my clients.
Retelling a scripts story in this way was awesome! Keep them coming. I always hit like on the way in and not for luck but because you never let me down.
Loosely based on a famous xmas story or not, this story holds a lesson for us all. Sometimes, we need to be absolutely alone to self reflect. When it's dark, you find the light easier. Anyone with the heart and will can change for the better from any circumstance. Great story, Dougie, and much love to all...❤Stormi
I can relate to getting sober, and cleaning up my whole slate. Mind, spirit, and health. I walked away from it cold turkey, moved to another state, and haven't touched it since. That was 8 years ago.
Wow, such a different kind of story this week. As someone celebrating 6 months clean from fentanyl today, and as someone who has newly rekindled my relationships with my family, this story really was great to hear 8 days before Christmas. Thanks Dougie. Merry Christmas 🎄
@@BlammyDevito Congrats on ur new found sobriety…it’s amazing the things that change when ur clean I found my rock bottom 4yrs ago and finally decided to clean up my life…work on today and surround yourself with GOOD ENERGY from GOOD PEOPLE. U got this🥰
My wife and I recently binged all your videos! When it comes to entertainment we have differing tastes lol! But these are videos that we both watch and enjoy together and she isn’t just putting up with haha!
Makes me sad, this is just how my grandpa is, no longer a drunk but still acts like it still hurts everyone around him makes us all feel awful just because then lies to outsiders to make himself look good, it’s a ugly path to be like that.
As a recovering addict and a recovery coach now with over 3 years clean I love these stories!! Your my favorite channel man!! One question......do you write the stories??
Bro, call me what you want, but I'm not gonna lie I actually had real tears tumbling down my cheeks! Such a touching story, awesome sir I needed to hear that. Cheers to you from Florida
This one literally brought tears to my eyes. Wow, i got the message loud and clear. Thank you, Dougie and Jess..... Merry Christmas! ❤ from Pennsylvania
Last spring my husband and I drove up to Mt Baldy for lunch. We took a scenic drive around the mountain. My husband pulled into a camping area. I immediately got the feeling of severe dread. I told my husband, please let’s go. There’s been a murder here. He turned and looked at me and said more than one. He grew up in the area and knew the history. When we got home I looked up murders in Mount Baldy and there were many, some including decapitations. Douggie I haven’t heard your story yet, but I’m sure whatever it is surely happened. Now on to the story…
Dougie & Jess.....I'm so thankful for ya'll & Monday night stories. Nice to be able to ger my mind off of all the unrelenting madness of current events. My mental health is faltering! Thank you both for being here ❤️
My wife and I love your stories, and the way you tell them. We have totally different interests in You Tube, but we watch your videos together. Thanks for the great work Dougie. Merry Christmas Bro.
Excellent story very well told! Background imagery added a lot. Wonderful message for the bit of Henry in all of us. Thank you for the uninterrupted flow. Merry Christmas!!
This was awesome Dougie. Since my family prefers to get drunk and cause problems, I have opted out on alot of events this year to prevent myself from the abuse 😢. This year, I don't think alcohol will be the issue, , I know I will be able to enjoy it and them as I well. ! Mercy Christmas y'all 🎄
After using 10 years I’m now 5 months sober and plan to stay this way with constant work on myself for me my son and for my parents who passed away recently they always wanted to see me sober and doing well. at 27 I can still live a long beautiful life with my 5 year old son
U did it again dougie🎉 another great story❣️❣️💯 loved it❤ Such tallent is in you Dougie, I am blessed to have come across you in your beginning stories! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the top of that mountain 🌄🏔️!!!!! You and your family have a blessed healthy happy holiday😊❤
This story gave had me full of emotions. Very similar in a few ways. Perspective can change so much. I am grateful for the time I spend with my family. I got a second chance at life. I will never think of throwing my own life away again. I enjoy all of the little things. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
This was the best video for this time of year! Wonderful job. My dad was an alcoholic. But he did make Christmas fun and awful at the same time. I miss him greatly. This story gave me a good view of how things were for him. He wasn’t always an alcoholic. He told me he had to work at it.
It's midnight-thirty, I thought I was tuning in for spooky stuff... and now I'm crying. That was so mushy and so beautiful and I loved it. Thank you Dougie ✨️
I soooo look forward to Tuesdays!!! I actually took today off to pack because we are moving !!! Usually I have to listen while at work but today… NOPE! I’m kicking back in my fav chair on my porch drinking my coffee in the dark ( it’s still dark out at 6:17 am in Massachusetts lol) it’s quiet and I’m so happy I get to do this! Thanks for being the YOU that you are and telling us these stories, you are an amazing storyteller and have become my favorite UA-camr !!! Have a great week!! I’ll be watching you live next week🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dougie, thank you so much for uploading this. It made me bawl my eyes out. I have struggled with mental health and intrusive thoughts. Hearing this, about the grave, really brought perspective and made me realize that no matter how depressed I get, my family means so much to me. I don't want to see, "I love you," cards from my children and little nephews, on my grave. I have to pull up my boot straps and really get some help for myself so I can be the best for them. As far as addiction, I have been alcohol free for over 10 years, but, I do live with someone very much like the man, who battles alcoholism. This episode hit on so many levels, for me.
Merry Christmas ❣️🎄🎉 Everyone this is a Christmas Story That Will Be Around for Hundreds of Years just like Frosty the snowman⛄ Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer🦌... Great Story Dougie 🎄🙏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I absolutely LOVE this story. Wow, what a great story this world needs. Family just wants the best for you. Sometimes it requires hard discussions and decisions, but occasionally it needs to happen. Great Job Dougie and Jess! Happy Holidays!
I literally just had to let my bestie go after 32 years of friendship. I can't deal with her alcoholism anymore. One of the most difficult decisions of my life. Creating a boundry is hard. It hurts so badly. I hope she sees the light. I love her dearly. Thank you for this video❤
Hey, Dougie! I watched your story...so fresh and elegant at this time of year! Sad, though, because so many alcoholics will never recover, will never realize that they must take responsibility for their own lives. Its a particular perspective to change the way you see, think and feel about experience! It's like stepping out of a terrible darkness into the light! The fight is not easy, it takes determination, courage and great will, but what is the alternative? We love our families and drug addiction or alcoholism destroys them! We must stand up for the good fight, no matter the obstacles, no matter the challenge! Carry them all up with you! Much love!
I did not expect this at all. I just watched, and listened, mesmerized by Henry's story, and how you told it, *Dougie.* You are a beautiful human being, Dougie. Your channel *is* my favorite one, and you are one of *the best storytellers ever.* Never stop. Keep doing what you are doing. You make this world a better place.
Have a great christmas coming from Grayling, MI love the stories keep it up always listening to them while doing delivery for wonderful people like yourself, keep up the amazing work 🎉🎉 scary story next please 🙏 😩
Well done! And such a desperately needed message. I've been on my own journey, for 10 ish years and counting, of realization, perspective changes, taking accountability when it's due and also releasing the junk that isnt/wasn't my fault, Etc etc.... its a beautiful, raw, heartbreaking, albeit liberating experience. And Im thankful to get to experience that. Happy holidays to you all... and sending love, encouragement and solidarity to anyone in need of some. 💜
My dad is a alcoholic & part-time drug user. He was mostly awful but especially at Christmas time. He was the type of person. If he's miserable, everyone around had to be miserable, too.
As an alcoholic myself this was a very heartwarming story and also helps build my courage to quit myself I'm working on it I've done better but this just shows me and just I don't know it gave me a good vibe ❤❤❤❤❤
Always love your stories dougie. My highlight of the week. I know your videos come out 1 time a week about but I tent to check a few times a day anyway 🤣
Dam Doug that was F*cking deep you nailed that destructive side of addiction thanks for including it I hate them memories but on occasion it’s good to be reminded what destruction addiction gives and brings and the people it pushes away not to count all the adventures you miss out on because your not wanted or stuck on liquid handcuffs ( Methadone) it’s hard to vacation when you need to be at a certain place everyday. I don’t miss that lifestyle or the so called friends that would throw you under the bus and lie to your face. (No it wasn’t me) My ass. 😳
That story made me cry. I can relate just like a lot of other people here. The ending was superb! Thank you for reminding me to be grateful for what I have. Merry Christmas to you and your family 💚
WowW! So Dang Powerful this one Dougie!! Weldone Man! Happy holidays for you and your family Dougie, and to you all in here. Take care and be grateful for everything in life.
We came accross your channel about 2 months ago. I stay up later than my husband. He watched many but not as many as me 😂 and it was saddening tp watch/listen to all you had posted. I look forward to your new ones. Amazing story telling!! ❤️ we just love you!! May you always do what you love until your last breath ❤
Wow, if this is not a wake up, call for anybody who thinks that their family doesn’t matter and only they do. It’s a good one. Life is so precious and sometimes we’re too blinded to see. This was a good one. Dougie love your channel once I discovered you I just can’t stop watching. I’m so happy that you created an amazing following and I’ll be there until the end.🥰♥️
I kicked my dad out of my house on Christmas day almost 5 years ago. He was being a drunken mess, again, how he was for everything, always. By New Years day he was in rehab. He finished his program and has not had a drink since. I'm so proud of him and the VA for helping him.
Top comment in the first 48 hours gets pinned! Make sure to like the video guys! Helps so much!
At the end, when you said wipe those tears, I realized how well you know your audience.😅✌🌸
Hey, I have an idea.🤔, why not make up a story or tell the viewers what's going on in the world with UFOs, government tests, drones,

@@allenjones9003 we’re you running your car I’m in Connecticut good races out here
You aren't alone brother... My little brother is an alcoholic. He's highly functioning, but he gets drunk probably 5 times a week.
I’m embarrassed at how long it took me to realize this was an adaptation of a Christmas carol. Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏
Lol it was a nice twist on it. I realized it somewhere around the ghost of Christmas present.
I was thinking it was a twist on the computer game Celeste 😂
@@mary-janereallynotsarah684when the second woman popped up i was like “oh ghost of christmas past?” 😭 i meant it as a joke but damn

You should also thank Charles Dickens... He did it first, but I'm not sure how many people are going to realize it
I love that we don’t just get an entertaining story but insightful views on life and interesting social commentary. It takes the stories to a different level.
As a struggling alcoholic and new dad, I appreciated this story... Thank you for this. The story I didn't know I needed to hear

Exactly I just realized that when the 3rd “ghost” came.
Story about recovery. I just threw away 3 years of clean time. Relapse is part of my process on day 3 again needed this
Hang in there, just get back on that horse and start your journey again. I spent 21 years on that path. I have nine sober now but it took a long time and quite a few relapses to get there.

I loved how he finally realized his issues through the journey of the mountain climbing and became a better person.
This was the best video for this time of year! Wonderful job. My dad was an alcoholic. But he did make Christmas fun and awful at the same time. I miss him greatly. This story gave me a good view of how things were for him. He wasn’t always an alcoholic. He told me he had to work at it.
Wow that was well timed. Thank you for all your hard work bring these stories to life. Happy holidays everyone ❤️

Oh my WOW!! This story was absolutely amazing ❤️❤️ WOW is all I can say!! Wonderful job!!
I literally just had to let my bestie go after 32 years of friendship. I can't deal with her alcoholism anymore. One of the most difficult decisions of my life. Creating a boundry is hard. It hurts so badly. I hope she sees the light. I love her dearly. Thank you for this video❤
So excited to see another video from you!
Hey, Dougie! I watched your story...so fresh and elegant at this time of year! Sad, though, because so many alcoholics will never recover, will never realize that they must take responsibility for their own lives. Its a particular perspective to change the way you see, think and feel about experience! It's like stepping out of a terrible darkness into the light! The fight is not easy, it takes determination, courage and great will, but what is the alternative? We love our families and drug addiction or alcoholism destroys them! We must stand up for the good fight, no matter the obstacles, no matter the challenge! Carry them all up with you! Much love!
Glad to see you back to updating regularly!
I told you guys we were just in a transitional period of our lives :) we are back and going to have a super consistent year!
Thank you for a great story with no foul language! A breath of fresh air!
Yay! Hope the move went smooth. Thanks for still posting!
Wooo another Dougie story!!!. Love chilling with my partner and kids while we listen to you
That was a beautiful story and very true. Being present for your family is the best gift you can give ❤️ Merry Christmas 🙏
Love the stories man, always glad to see another one pop up. You’re badass at what you do.
Another great one dougie ! With a lifelong alcoholic parent and a brother lost in April to addiction this one hit different. Ty

Dougie… I’m crying with this one 🥲🫶🏼✨
Well done! And such a desperately needed message.
I've been on my own journey, for 10 ish years and counting, of realization, perspective changes, taking accountability when it's due and also releasing the junk that isnt/wasn't my fault, Etc etc.... its a beautiful, raw, heartbreaking, albeit liberating experience. And Im thankful to get to experience that.
Happy holidays to you all... and sending love, encouragement and solidarity to anyone in need of some. 💜
Beautiful story! Thank you, Dougie!! Merry Christmas 🎄 ♥️🙏
You turd! You made me cry! I had just put makeup on!! 😂 Excellent story my friend!❤ Merry Christmas!
This is reminiscent of "a Christmas Carol," and I am bawling! Thank you for your talent!!! Merry Christmas!!!
My dad is a alcoholic & part-time drug user. He was mostly awful but especially at Christmas time. He was the type of person. If he's miserable, everyone around had to be miserable, too.
Your storytelling is a rare gift that takes the listener away from everything except the story being told.
As an alcoholic myself this was a very heartwarming story and also helps build my courage to quit myself I'm working on it I've done better but this just shows me and just I don't know it gave me a good vibe ❤❤❤❤❤
Always love your stories dougie. My highlight of the week. I know your videos come out 1 time a week about but I tent to check a few times a day anyway 🤣
This one made me ball my eyes out 😭😭❤ Great holiday story and message, Dougie! Thanks! 💝💝
Now this is better! Stories like this are awesome not too long and not to short, 20 to 30 mins Stories are very convenient! Keep it up😊
Dougie Corrado!!! You’re the man.. this was such a good one. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 happy holidays
This was so heartwarming and much needed today. Thank you ❤
Wowwww, very deep. Been sober for 7 years now so I know the feeling 😜
Dam Doug that was F*cking deep you nailed that destructive side of addiction thanks for including it I hate them memories but on occasion it’s good to be reminded what destruction addiction gives and brings and the people it pushes away not to count all the adventures you miss out on because your not wanted or stuck on liquid handcuffs ( Methadone) it’s hard to vacation when you need to be at a certain place everyday. I don’t miss that lifestyle or the so called friends that would throw you under the bus and lie to your face.
(No it wasn’t me)
My ass. 😳
That story made me cry. I can relate just like a lot of other people here. The ending was superb! Thank you for reminding me to be grateful for what I have.
Merry Christmas to you and your family 💚
WowW! So Dang Powerful this one Dougie!! Weldone Man! Happy holidays for you and your family Dougie, and to you all in here. Take care and be grateful for everything in life.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this early besides catching a live!! Yess!!! I was just thinking about how I wish I had a new Dougie video to watch
This was a powerful story for one of the hardest times of the year. Thank you ❤Good job Dougie.
Amazing story with a heartfelt message and meaning
You should take that story to an AA meeting! ❤❤❤. Pulls on the heart strings! Love it!
We came accross your channel about 2 months ago. I stay up later than my husband. He watched many but not as many as me 😂 and it was saddening tp watch/listen to all you had posted.
I look forward to your new ones.
Amazing story telling!! ❤️ we just love you!!
May you always do what you love until your last breath ❤
Wow, if this is not a wake up, call for anybody who thinks that their family doesn’t matter and only they do. It’s a good one. Life is so precious and sometimes we’re too blinded to see. This was a good one. Dougie love your channel once I discovered you I just can’t stop watching. I’m so happy that you created an amazing following and I’ll be there until the end.🥰♥️
I kicked my dad out of my house on Christmas day almost 5 years ago. He was being a drunken mess, again, how he was for everything, always. By New Years day he was in rehab. He finished his program and has not had a drink since. I'm so proud of him and the VA for helping him.
My day just got better 🎉
