- Chris' Remarkable Alcoholism Documentary. We all know that college is a haven for drug and alcohol abuse, but most college kids grow out of the tendency to abuse drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, some don't! Chris was one of those kids. He came from a good family and had every opportunity, but he started abusing drugs and alcohol in high school, and by the time he got to college he developed full-blown alcoholism.
In high school, Chis was literally the poster boy for DRUNKEN DISASTER! The police used his picture as a warning to other kids. By the time he was in college he was a full-blown alcoholic. It took a family crisis to get him sober, but he never went to addiction treatment. Watch the video to find out how Chris got sober!
I've been treating people for substance use disorders for a long time now, and it's rare that I see a young person with full-blown alcoholism. Sure you see lots of young people abusing alcohol, but rarely do you see a college student who is fully chemically dependent!
As rare as it is, you surely wouldn't expect for a young man from a good family (who has every opportunity in life) to be the one to develop such a severe alcohol problem before he was even 21 years old.
Chris's life was spiraling out of control in college, and he knew something was very wrong.
Listen to Chris tell his story of how he overcame his alcoholism, and how he uses his experience to help other young men struggling with drug and alcohol problems.

Thank you, Chris, for your willingness to share your story with us.
@Put The Shovel Down I recommended your channel to the Recovery Community on Utube, so you should have some new subscribers soon!
I’ll start sharing your videos in the Recovery groups on Facebook soon too! I’m sure that it will bring more people here. These stories are so helpful to those of us in Recovery. Thank you for all the work that you are doing!!!♥️
Glad you got sober at your age. I wasted 45 years of my life with alcohol, thus ruining relationships. I have been sober 5 years but have the scars of the damage I did to my children and myself. God removed my urges for alcohol when I begged for help from Jesus and admitted my need for Him. So God bless all that have addiction issues.
I worked as a Police Officer at an Ivy League College. I use to see the students so Sht faced every weekend while their parents were spending 250,000 a year on tuition. I asked one day how go you get passing grades. They told me we just take really good notes and share them. I hate Alcohol.
We work with a lot of those types of kids in our office. I know what you're talking about!
I agree college kids drink too much but what’s so wrong about them sharing notes? We did that in college jusr bc sometimes one of us might’ve missed something while in class and all my friends or peers would get together and exhange notes just to have more insight. Doesn’t mean we were drunks … it was just the smart thing to do to make sure we had all info and other perspectives to the class … I think that’s normal and not indicative of alcoholism
Thank you for sharing your story, Chris!!!
Thank you for watching Cindy!
What a man. What a story.
Thanks for sharing, Chris. How long do we celebrate today?
It seems to me that addiction goes along with the inabality to cope with the unhappy sides, the difficult stuff of life and So on. Maybe they did just not learn it or maybe also because a big trauma happend to them or many little traumas during their childhood or adolesence ... or even while taking drugs ... So they start coping the wrong way 😔😔😔, until the insight comes that that drugs are a trap and they learn to cope with life like everybody else, in a healthier way, that is ultimaltely less painfull than being an addicted being 🙌🏼.
Ambers👩🏻⚕️ interviews and advices and teachings, all her videos are opening my mind 💞.
💗
The music in the backround is very distracting
that's good that you got past that with your story but not all alcoholist end up as bad as him. Like my cousin who's been drinking since he was 19 and he's doing great.
Good job yay
Mm
The background music is unbearable.
