It really is ongoing isnt it? my neighbour is a raging alcoholic with special needs, has care workers daily, the experiences with this person have been alarming yet funny at times. Your right its not just about the using its those inbetween hours of the day, how to keep tunnel vision of keeping it together and perhaps channelling the problem into something else. Eric has the gift of voice and guitar and yes his honesty IS whats needed for people to make real changes but they have to really want it for themselves.
Texasthepsychic; Thanks . I like what you're saying Yeah the tunnel vision that took place indicates one has already gotten emotionally hooked to the desire to use. How well I know those times and lived in them a long time.. It's freedom to see yourself when that happened and now is not going on. It is a long effort. Thank God.

@@plainolamerican Romans 1:28 Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, *He gave them up* to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 2 Thessalonians 11 For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion *so that they believe the lie.* It is a person’s choice whether to accept and believe the truth of Jesus Christ as presented in the Scriptures. To receive the truth and the love God offers is in keeping with its teachings, “This is love for God: to obey His commands” (1 John 5:3). Conversely, to know the truth and not obey it is to face the wrath of God: “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness” (Romans 1:18). Frankly speaking, there is no more dangerous condition for man than to know the truth and refuse to obey it. To do so is to harden the heart and make God’s condemnation sure. When one knows the truth and refuses to obey it, he is subject to any lie, any deception, any untruth that humanity can conjure up. “For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:21-22). Paul goes on in the next few verses to describe the mindset and behaviors of those who disbelieve (see Romans 1:29-31). As a result of human foolishness and arrogant disdain of the things of God, “God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done” (Romans 1:28). And correspondingly, “Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things, but also approve of those who practice them” (Romans 1:32). Isaiah puts it succinctly: “They have chosen their own ways, and their souls delight in their abominations; so I [God] also will choose harsh treatment for them and bring upon them what they dread. For when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in My sight and chose what displeases Me” (Isaiah 66:3-4). When people know the truth and refuse to receive it, when they refuse to obey it and hold it in unrighteousness, “they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth” (2 Thessalonians 2:12 NLT). “God is love” (1 John 4:16). He is not some cruel monster who deliberately and inwardly delights in preparing people for everlasting condemnation. But He earnestly and lovingly proclaims the gospel of Christ, “not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). Throughout the Scriptures, God urges people to accept the truth. But when people reject Him and spurn His message, then-and not until then-God hardens them and turns them over to a deluded mind to wallow in their wickedness to their eternal damnation. This is what the Lord says about those who choose to reject the truth: “They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the Lord does not accept them; He will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins” (Jeremiah 14:10).😅

I think that if you drink two bottles of cognac like he did you get damaged forever. I know he has some health problem. As a persona he looks very shi, I think it would be quite hard to make friends with him, I see him like a strange person.
" I think alcohol does so much damage, that a number of people I know aren't drinking are still acting foolish. " Good point. It's a bit like fetal alcohol exposure - the impact runs deep.
In AA it's referred to as being a dry drunk. Just because you've put a cork in a bottle doesn't mean you've dealt with your negative ways of thinking and acting that are generally a cause of your alcoholism to begin with. Also, if you don't learn to deal with the wreckage of your past either it can lead to relapse
Alcohol was probably the list of his problems. He was doing heavy drugs back then. He is lucky he made it till his age. Many musicians from his same era did not make it a long time ago.
Eric Clapton owes one million apologies to millions of people for what he's said and done. In particular he owes Rita Coolidge for half of his Layla royalties, whom he has refused for decades to credit for the 'coda', without which that song would only be a curiosity.
@TheMomkerg He apologized back then. In person to his friends because he had class and did not need to do it as a PR stunt. And he spent the last 40 years proving he was not racist. One drunken night is a mistake, not a lifestyle,. It only came up again because he wanted his doc to be completely candid unlike a troll who sits behind a computer to be mean. People like you are why we will never have peace.
He got jabbed twice and suffered awful side effects.. like millions of others. He suffered neuropathy and was worried he wouldn't be able to play guitar again.
Eric seems authentic and nice and genuine. Not a phony celebrity. He does look very different in so many photos.

God bless you Eric for showing me the way ❤
Good that Eric is still around,unlike a long list that aren,t imparting their wisdom
At one point people were just expecting him to just die young.
Recovery is a long, ongoing process. So much more than just not using. His Honesty is Refreshing & Needed.

That’s a very smart man right there.
Wish stevie could still be here to say the same
I was fortunate enough to see the great Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Montagne Center in Beaumont, Texas Oct. 23, 1985. Will never forget it.
I can totally relate to everything he said.
Get the light out of the mans eyes
He used to guzzle Special brew and vodka ....good combination to get and stay pissed !

Maye McDonald why because you have an idea of how he needs to behave? Do you know him or his family?
