What an incredible woman â„
Indeed so. She's a keeper !!
Itâs crazy how things go full circle, from being a child gutted that Matt didnât show up (he was my favorite) to a Safeway CD signing with whispers it was because he was âhungoverâ, to sitting here as a 31 recovering alcoholic myself, Iâm really proud to see him do this and also how far, and how life changing recovery has been in both our lives. If anyone is struggling remember right now you think that youâre losing everything by quitting, but what you canât see is youâll be gaining everything. Thousands of people are going what you are going through right now so just take a chance how you are and reach out for help, you wonât be judged and you donât have to go through it alone anymore.
I found salvation in 12 step programs
Just celebrated 19 years abstinence 10th May just gone
Massive congratulations on 19 years sobriety đâïžđ
She a wonderful woman staying with her husband through thick and thin dats sticking to their marriage vows for better and for worse and doing it lovingly may God continue to strengthen support uphold and more blessings on you both
I'm sat in a H.M.O in Birmingham just watched the documentary. I been clean 3 years til end of April. I've relapsed. I'm a crack addict but unlike most addicts I always do it alone. I'm recovering from breast cancer awaiting a date to have kidney removed. I'm mum of 2 a boy 27 and a girl 19 I have a 2 year old grandson a family who support again and again this time though they would have to walk away from me. For their own sake. But that doesn't stop me from scoring. It's like a form of self harm. I'm about to move in with a lovely guy bk in same town my kids are. Hearing Matt talk about his childhood having blanks I'm same. I hear my mum telling stories from when I was little and I nod along like I remember but I don't. Matt the documentary was good, Emma Willis you are a force of nature truly inspiring. I could keep writing but I'll stop. Just wanted to tell someone I've fucked up wish I had your strength
This made me cry because it hits home how isolated loved ones are and it brought up some past emotions đą
Watch this last night â€ïžđ Thanks Matt and Emma for allowing us in Iâm currently 3 and half years clean and sober Iâm the CA 12 step program â€ïž
Matt I really appreciate your truth around your relapse after 8 years it made me realise I canât afford to get complacent â€ïžâïžđ
Love to you my brother and to Emma and the kids what a beautiful family you have đâïžđ

Emma and Matt Willis should take over the This Morning Show slot and call it TVEM.
I feel absolutely glad when i see support groups in many places, becuase i have the opportunity to talk with histories very similar and make that on your empathy.

I haven't watched the main program yet, what is Matt addicted to ?
I've watched it.
drug addiction is a no no. People lives get affected.
Who is helping Emma if she is taking care of her husband and their children?
King Backđ„°
I'm going to point this out but I want to preface it by saying that I believe the research put into the script written for this episode was thoroughly given full the due diligence by its author(s).
When Kevin asks if AFCI/GFCI receptacles can be put on this(14awg) as well as that(12awg), they purposefully referred to the conductors vaguely because I doubt they could confirm that 16awg(or any gauge below 14awg) could or could not be used with a FCI devices.
YES! I know there are no standard FCI wall receptacles that use 16awg for power, but FCIs don't need to be part of a receptacle. They can be in the circuit breakers, on power strips, or attached to appliance cords. And I bet not every appliance cord with a FCI on it has 14awg to the appliance... So it is possible.
The point is the researcher couldn't find any code limiting the exact specific scenario of a FCI rated for lower gauges or codes regarding it.
I prefer FCIs on breakers, myself. Unless you're retrofitting old service. Then it can be a she-dog!
Why do you need to be with people who also struggle?
Probably to share experiences
@@Jesusofsuburbia768 obviously thatâs the idea. How does sharing experiences help?
@@toughluck1966 Maybe to support each other, so they know they're not alone
What u on about
Wat u on about
Anyone who becomes "hooked" on hard drugs via a medically prescribed treatment has my sympathy. The
rest do not. Besides, I am always amazed how they seem able to afford the stuff in the first place! Or why?
Nothing like a judgmental person with no empathy and a condescending attitude, who clearly knows nothing about the subject. Smh...
@@marquettegloves9907 Judgemental? I'll plead guity - with the mitigation of decades of
calling out medical attention to prisoners in my responsibility as custody officer of a
hectically busy London police station to drug abusers back in the day and clearing up the
mess they invariably left. I'll repeat - how and why did they manage to afford the cost of the
pernicious stuff in the first place? My responsibility also extended to others in my care whose
welfare was directly affected by the time I had to spend ensuring the safety and medical
well-being of those on drugs. Real life is not so simple as mere virtue-signalling so I'lll take
no lectures on that subject.
@@songsmith31a you didn't, and couldn't deny anything I said. You copped to being judgemental, which is not a positive attribute by the way. You then continued to show condescension and a lack of empathy. I think my assessment of you is spot on. If you're happy being that way, that's on you. But why on earth you would choose to watch a video on addiction, when you have contempt for addicts is beyond me. Let's just hope no-one you love has an addiction in the future eh.
N u work in custody!!! Omg đ€Ż some of the best people are addicts and some of the worst people have never done drugs no wander ppl struggle to rehabilitate when ppl in charge of their care are judgemental like u

-> †But Don't Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, Ha Ha Ha
*NOTE:
-> Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries
