I was sent to this detox centre 7 years ago and I have stayed sober. Finally
Amazing 🎉🤩
Well done, so happy for you
That's fantastic!
Congratulations 🎉
I stopped drinking alcohol when I was 20 years old as a lifestyle choice, I’m 66 years old. It was along with not smoking that I think was one of the best decisions of my life. All that money saved to do other things like travelling and staying healthy. ……
Wow! Just shows what is possible if you don’t drink or smoke. Fair play to you. 👍🏼👍🏼
When my ex wife stopped drinking, the change in her was amazing.
I was 26 when I quit after waking up New Year’s Day 2000 feeling like death warmed up. I decided to have a dry January but I felt so good not drinking and I’d saved nice chunk of money I never took it up again.
More than 6 percent of adults in the US have an alcohol disorder so it’s just not in Europe.
Joel you have a great gift, compassion. Never lose it.
I'm a recovering alcoholic, it's been almost 10 years sober. I think that there should be more of these places/facilities worldwide. This would have helped me out in the beginning. I actually went through, the process of becoming sober by myself. I didn't have any seizures, but I did have some wicked withdrawal symptoms. At my peak of drinking, I was drinking 6 to 8 beers & a half a bottle of whisky per day. Here in Australia, I don't know of many places/facilities like this. I think that it's also ran by the NHS or government, is really amazing.
7 years+ freedom of alcohol, drugs and cigars here, now working as relief support worker in the residential treatment where I started my recovery journey.
Full circle.
Hi Joel ,theres definately a correlation between mental health and addiction .Detoxing from alcohol is pure hell ive been there but not through a detox programme i did it on my own . Im now 5 yrs sober but every day you have to put the work in , facing the world without that crutch for lots of people is very hard. All those who beat there addiction i salute you and those still struggling im thinking of you and hoping one day you beat it never give up .😊
Keep up the good work You matter, and I am proud of you for finding the courage to fight the demon, it can't be easy. Stay strong 👍🤞🙏💖
Well, done Clare. It's hard, really hard. It's not just a case of stopping, your whole life has to adjust. Never give up giving up.
Congratulations on 5 years of sobriety! That's fantastic! I wish you happiness and continued success!
I’ve one, Clare! Xxx
I have never smoked and drink alcohol very sparingly and only on special occasions (yes, I know, a real Goody-Two-Shoes!) but I think this kind of clinic is truly special and I hope this scheme continues to expand nationwide. People get into all sorts of problems for all sorts of reasons - there is no dress rehearsal for Life after all - so if we can rescue people like this who are on the extreme edge, we should. Thanks for this video Joel. It reminds me AGAIN how lucky we are to have the NHS.
This broke my heart 💔but also gave me great hope for the future and NHS. I am trainee therapist/counsellor and one thing that I have learnt from my training and own personal experience is that so many individuals who become alcohol/drug dependent have underlying issues such as physical pain, past traumas (childhood abuse, SA, DA, poverty etc), mental health issues, current trauma or a combination of these. If we all help to abolish the stigma surrounding mental health, substance abuse etc and talk about them. We can then take actions such as this rehab centre and potentially save 10,000's of people every year. To all of you that have reached out, asked for help and received help.....you are amazing! 🙏much love to you all ❤ Also much love to you Joel and your family from UK.
It’s sad to see an ex RAF Veteran who put his life on the line in the Falklands War in a rehab facility.
PTSD sufferers have high addiction rates
That 70% statistic is shocking, makes you wonder why the authorities continually bang on about illegal drugs
Joel, your kindness is overwhelming. I fitted once and broke my pelvis. Since then I've had an on off relationship with the bevy and the NHS has been amazing.
It took me over 25yrs and countless detox's before i managed to get my life back together. I was totally dependent on alcohol and was unable to function without it. Just at work alone i was drinking up to a litre bottle of vodka a day, i used to keep sneaking out to have a quick drink throughout the day. When i would go shopping i'd buy a couple of cases of stella (48 cans) to drink at home along with more vodka! I hated the life i was living but still went back to the bottle a few weeks after a detox. Eventually i stopped eating because i lost my appetite completely, my weight had dropped so dramatically i just looked like skin and bone. My liver was badly damaged to the extent of having cirrhosis, which led to me having jaundice, my skin was yellow as were the white of my eyes. In fact i was close to death, though i didn't realize how close until much later. It's now been just over 8yrs since i received that last detox and i'm happy to say i've been dry ever since. Once the booze gets a proper grip on you it's very hard to stop.
We can't pick and choose who benefits from the NHS. It's for everyone. Where would it end if we started saying that some illnesses are self inflicted and should not be helped. The NHS savings do not sound huge when you think of the possible cost of that unit but in a way it is still saving lives from being wasted. It is a major strength of the NHS over systems like the USA's that it can take a preventative approach
Agree with the comments about your empathy Joel. I find your reactions thoughtful and intelligent on the more serious topics. It’s great you seem to have a connection to the UK
My heart goes out to those struggling with addiction to drugs & alcohol. 😢
I commend the healthcare workers, community & social workers who have to deal with these very challenging situations.
On a more positive note, hope you get a chance do do more videos outside before summer is over, Joel! 😎👍
Facilities like these are rare in the UK. There are massive waiting lists for alcohol treatment programs and the vast majority of alcoholics can’t access them.
There are many private clinic’s that vary in price enormously.
My brother was an alcoholic and in 2010 after my mother’s death, the family had to intervene and pay for him to be treated in a secure facility. He was initially admitted for 3 months which was extended to 6 months. At that time it cost £25,000 in total, which was very cheap.
The facility was a 4 hour drive and we were told to let him keep drinking throughout the journey because if he stopped he could’ve had a seizure.
Whilst this place is an excellent start. There’s no way that one week is anywhere near sufficient to treat the underlying problems.
Great video btw.
I used to work at a facility called Serenity Lane in Eugene, it was usually a 30 day stay. Many patients were "red flag" patients, ordered by the court to get treatment (tx), they'd have to start upstairs in the detox unit where they would get drug or alcohol withdrawal tx. After that they move downstairs to join group counseling. Most were successful, some not. But the rewards for helping people to start a clean life is very rewarding. After they leave the facility, they continue tx in group counseling sessions that meet weekly.
Joel, With universal healthcare, we do have a lot more health prevention for a whole range of physical, mental and addiction problems. One of the examples is someone being funded by their local authority. This shows that we do on some occasions we are able to link health care to social care. This is another subject in its own right. Dominic
Victoria Derbyshire sounds like a place in Derbyshire but it is a female presenter
Kind of like Sarah Lancashire
Hi mate,I've been clean from drugs for 2 years now but did it on my own. I gave up smoking nearly a year ago. Sometimes I think these detox centres cause more issues. It'd the other users ,and the drinkers you've got to break free from,thats my opinion anyway. I never mix with the bad crowd I hung out with and best decision I ever made besides doing it for my son.
Good point
Not necessarily, I knew someone who gave up drinking and found those who she thought were such fun to be with, were dull and silly when she was sober.
Salford Royal is a great hospital, my local one and where both my children were born.
Never judge. Feel you just want to give each person a big hug. It takes a lot of strenth to seek help. I wish then the very best.
No one starts drinking thinking they will become addicted.....the mental and physical dependence is immense stopping suddenly can kill.. I hope theres more centres like this to help others..
I found their stories sad but the film inspiring and hopeful. I'm more than content to see my tax pounds spent on places like this, because if we do nothing it is still going to cost the NHS billions every year dealing with the after effects of alcohol. At least those pounds are spent here in a positive way that might pull lives back from the edge. No one knows who will be a moderate drinker and of an alcoholic, life events determine that. It could happen to many of those who think "It could never happen to me". They just don't know, because they don't know what is round the next corner in their lives. I say all this as a person aged 55 who has never had an alcoholic drink in his life, but have seen it happen to a teacher and a nurse, one of which died from it. They had homes, partners and even children, but they weren't immune.
I'm 60 and have been struggling with alcohol for almost 30 years. I haven't gone so far that I drink during the day but I know I'm alcohol dependent. I have a son who is battling cocaine addiction so it's difficult to get in the headspace I need to be in to stop drinking. I come from a family of drinkers, in fact my dad was alcohol dependent and so much so he couldn't understand people who didn't drink. I'm not that bad but I acknowledge I have a problem.
A lot of everyday people go home from work and relax with a drink. Its not hard for this to build up into a bad habit without people even realising they are now dependent on it. Only when there is an effort due to a diet or finances or something like the Stoptober campaign that some of these people realise how bad they have got and its a shock to them.
I am so glad that my taxes go towards things like this, i grew up in a pub and new many alcoholics, non of them were bad people, the drink just got a hold of them.
I didn't touch alcohol until I was 19. Within a year I was drinking a bottle of whiskey every day at work. I rarely drink more than a couple of beers a week now. I got lucky.
As a tax paying citizen i am proud my tax gies towards things like this, we are 1 country, we ruse and fall together.
That is the difference between UK and USA and why it is possible for the NHS to exist. We are a society, not competitors in the sport called life.
@@Phiyedough And the Tories are hell bent on privatizing it, just as the National Party here in NZ are doing the same.

You should watch the Louis Theroux documentary about alcoholism, 'Drinking to Oblivion'....That's really interesting but a difficult watch
Louis Theroux is great!
Been a fan since the mid 90s. 🤓👍
I’m nearing on 15 months sober after being severely addicted to alcohol for over a decade. My mental and physical health was run into the ground, I lost all respect for myself and I had many trips to A&E and have come very close to death.
I now need a liver transplant but I’m still not physically strong enough to have major surgery, every day I try to get a bit stronger.
I would honestly advise anyone who may be using alcohol do destress, cope, or self medicate to reach out for help now, you don’t want to follow this path.
No wonder the US has places like kensington ave, if you have to pay for rehab.
🤔 Had to google that as I had no idea, but yes, there are seedy areas in most cities globally, sadly.
Hi Joel, when I was serving in Germany (Army, late 80's through to 2000's) it was normal to offer a beer to a visitor any time day or night,"You want a brew? or a beer?", everyone had a beer fridge on their balcony, there was a heavy drinking culture, bare in mind a can of lager was 1DM the equivalent of about 30p, a 3 litre bottle of Brandy, Vodka, Whiskey, Bacardi was 30DM about £10...
Every Sqn single accommodation block had a bar either in the attic or in the cellar, on every camp there was the NAFFI Bar for junior ranks, the Corporal's Mess for junior NCO's, A Sergeants Mess for Senior Ranks and an Officers Mess for Officers, Wednesday, sports afternoon, Knock off work at 12 lunchtime, go for a run, play football, whatever sport you were into, then into the bar afterwards, Friday early knock off lunchtime, into the bar for a weekly "debrief".
I'm ex RAF and was stationed at RAF Wildenrath from 78 - 81, can count on 1 hand how many days I didn't touch alcohol... it was just part of life... how we all functioned I have no idea... great reaction!
When i was young considering the Army, the men in my family were all army or ex army and i realised that they and all the friends from that world were all alcoholics to some level. It was a big thing that put me off. It def makes socialising/bonding easier and I can see why it happens but the forces really need to clean up their act on this.
@@redf7209 walk a mile in their shoes before condemning, the first thought a civilian makes every day when they wake up is what to wear, a soldiers is will I live till the end of the day....
Of the 5000 soldiers I served with in my Garrison most were heavy drinkers, but only a very small percentage (0.5-1.0%) were actual alcoholics, a well disciplined, Professional Soldier knows his limits, can they tie one on? oh yes, no denying that, but at the weekend in camp, or on leave not while on operations.
@@Ayns.L14A Its not about condemnation just its a trait of life that should be controlled. They might not even be 'alcoholics' through most of their career expending a lot of energy but after a good carreer and when they leave. As it happens i was nearly killed by some paratroopers who were drunk on duty pushing me off a jump tower without attaching lines.
Victoria Derbyshire is a BBC TV news investigator and reporter, not a place.
In America it seems there are addicts to be treated, in the UK the view is that it is people first and addiction second.
"Wasting resources" Alcoholics and drinkers cost £3.8 billion per year according to the video, but in 2022 alcohol duty raised £12.4 billion in tax, so I think that drinkers of alcohol have already paid their dues, this is forecast to rise to £17.4 billion in 3 years time. Why does no one talk about that, so drinkers provide an extra £8 billion or so in taxes to help fund the NHS.
We have Band-Aids in the UK, no need to explain.
Hi Joel greetings from England 🇬🇧 in 1948 The Labour Health Minister Nye Bevan created The NHS and its mantra is "From The Cradle To The Grave" its 3 core values are "its there for every one:
Free At The Point of Delivery:
Its Based on Clinical Need And Not The AbiliTo Pay:
The NHS is now 75yrs old and it is absolutely loved by the people of The UK 🇬🇧 because its always there for them in time of need and thats why were are all so proud of our NHS.
I went through all of this too...that vitamin stuff they inject has a weird taste throughout the body. hard to explain. I had liver disease from alcoholism
20 years dry, btw ;)
And spot on with what you said about it not being self-inflicted, Joel. Nobody knows they're going to end up like that when they first start drinking, do they?
All the best to anyone who is in a battle to be better.
Joel, I used to work in a locked psychiatric ward in the late 70’s to early 80’s. I watched a gentleman in DT’s (delirium tremens) pluck his own eyeball out and lay it on the bed next to himself. He eventually developed seizures that did not respond to large doses of anticonvulsants. He died. That’s the absolute worst case of alcohol withdrawal I have ever witnessed.
The message in the tv-series" breaking bad " wont fly in European countries with socialized healthcare.
Because the thought and idea of going in qa financial ruin of getting healthcare or even get medicine is unheard of..(it's a really good series thou) =)
I used to work in an nhs addiction service and is often really complex , that needs a bio psycho social approach.. the Chapman Barker Unit is fantastic.
Alcohol is like cigarettes.
It causes many health issues, but also earns plenty of taxes.
You're correct - Alcohol related diseases in 2022 cost the NHS£4.5 billion, taxes raised in alcohol duty were £12.4 billion. In economic, Capitalist terms, so that our American friends can understand, it relates to almost £8 billion profit for the NHS, (although the overall social costs are much higher).
Alcohol amd addiction in the uk can very much be related to generational trauma and deprivation
Why are people in the UK traumatised? I can understand why people in countries which the UK has been involved in destroying would be traumatised, but why would the local population be suffering trauma.🤔
How do you say Derbyshire Joel? Weren't you up that way recently?
My Grandfather had a great expression regarding Alcohol.
He said that, in moderation, it could be a good friend but, in excess, it is a very bad Master.
That is advice that I have followed now for the nearly 50 years of my adult life. 🙂
Joel. Fairplay, you’re a really nice human. You are always compassionate and balanced. I don’t think anybody who watches you regularly would have mixed up your comment of “waste of resource” for anything flippant. There are those with real struggles when it comes to alcohol. However, the figures and statistics given in this documentary can’t help but make me think.. how much better would our NHS be if it weren’t for alcohol abuse, which then abuses and pressures the NHS and its brilliant staff, unduly. Imagine how much better it and other services would run if we all just took that bit of extra self responsibility. I’m 42, and in my many years of drinking, I’ve only gone to A&E once after a night out and that was because I fell over drunk helping a mate who was drunk and being a dick.
#JPS You yourself have witness the drunkeness of people of your own age in Newcastle and other Cities in the UK, out on the town, now imagine that for the whole of the UK, then you can see just what they are facing.
Come to Jackson Street in Gateshead mate - and I thought Newcastle and North Tyneside services had it bad.
The whole model is broken due to cut backs and back door privatization. Welcome to American mission creep, thanks to a rigged electoral system ran by goons on behalf of foreign interests and a war based economy.
10:40 Joel reads the comments, guys. He is aware of the discourse in the comments
He is indeed.
@@lachlanmain6004 I love hearing from you. Hope you’re doing well

Victoria Derbyshire is not a place, but a TV presenter & programme titles name, Joel. You weren't to know that though. The English have had a reputation for heavy drinking for nearly a thousand years, & it has been repeatedly remarked upon throughout the intervening years, so this is not a new or modern thing. Things have changed a lot in the last few years, with Brexit & Covid & massive hikes in energy prices etc, & it maybe that such rehab centres don't receive the Government funding that they did 10 years ago. They may have even closed down since that documentary was made. One would hope not. I feel most sorry for the Airforce veteran, who's war experience will have contributed to his dependency, as in many cases.
Very interesting topic you've brought up here. Very interesting. Maybe compare it with Holland and Germany and the USA?
I knew I woman who died from alcohol related health issues. It was like they said, she didn't go to pubs but drank on her own at home. As she was in denial it would have been difficult to get help for her. I think with the men who drink in pubs they often hurt themselves on their way home but she could probably drag herself to bed without getting injured so she was not a regular at the local A&E.
You can say No and it is Cool to do it. I used to drink on a regular basis; my favourite tipple was neat Scotch Whisky i had my favourite label, too. I worked in hotels and was part of the Ladies Darts team. It was not easy when I decided not to drink any more due to a new medication. I was never under the control of alcohol or anywhere near alcoholic. I just began asking for a St. Clemence instead, it sounds posh ladies but it is only lemonade and fresh orange, a mocktail they would call it now. All Hotel Barmen and most Bar Staff knew them; and people embarrassed to ask for a soft drink for you are never ashamed to ask for a cool sounding mocktail. I gave up drinking in my 20's. I am now in my 60's and always look for alcohol free Christmas puddings as I can't stand the smell or taste of any alcohol. My husband is also tee total because he is also on meds. I have chronic pain and take medical CBD for it. I know I was very blessed to avoid the problems these people have and would love to see their facilities expand. I am British.
It's a reminder of the reality that treating underlying conditions saves the NHS money.
If UK health is overall better than in the US, one reason is because of the way it is funded. The NHS saves money through free screening/vaccination/health education because it keeps people away from hospital. In the US, the system makes more money when people are actually hospitalised or paying to see a doctor.
Compared to treating the sick, healthcare and education is a more efficient way of spending resources.
In 2022, alcohol duty raised £12.4 billion pounds, and alcohol diseases cost the NHS £5.5 Billion, more than enough to cover the cost of treatment for these poor people.
Hello Joel. I drank enough for several lifetimes in my twenties. I recognise the amount the patients drank. Luckily for me, I could take it or leave it.
I recommend the BBC film "The Grass Arena".
You might also watch something on George Best and Paul Gascoigne outside football.
Great video Joel, as always. It's the hyposcrasy, hype and status around drinking that gets to me, also. If you're just a regular person who starts to go downhill [I guess in the US and UK] then for many [as was seen in your video] there is shame from the person and judging from the high and mighty others. If you are wealthy, however, or a celebrity who goes into re-hab, you go on TV shows and talk about it then write the book!
Joel you are a very impressive guy. Thank you for presenting this. I think I was in my early to mid teens when I made the decision to not drink. I am now over seventy and I have never been drunk in my life. It is obvious to me that the US needs to learn from other counties in the world how to look after its people. Keep well and please keep reacting. Best wishes from Australia.
dar-bee-shear.
Plus dealing with alcohol related issues earlier saves more money for the nhs down the line when they’re having to deal with cancer and organ failure which are very costly to treat. Obviously the fact it’s helping people is a lot more important than the funding, but funding is a crucial issue to keeping our nhs going
I have watched a lot of Americans reacting to British things - A lot of fluff like WatchmojoUK and it's quite fun - but well done reacting to something serious, emotional and with depth! Not just Clickbate! More please!
Miss the days when Joel would get outside and interact with the world! 👍
Reactions get a bit stale after awhile. 🤷
Could you find a small documentary made in the US and the work/statistics done in your country for comparison?
My dad dried out at Prestwich hosp in the 70s. He went straight to the pub when he got out.
I think the stigma was much greater then, and "drying out" was the only way. Every single individual with an addiction is just that - an individual. One size fits all might work for a cheap hat but it doesn't work for an extremely complex medical condition (disease).
1:46 Yeah, it’s called a systemic issue.
Derbyshire is pronounceed Darbyshire. Just the way we are!!!!
I have 4 alcoholic friends one sober 4 years one 2 years one 1 year and one I think would die if he stopped been so long! I had a drink problem when I started running pubs 1998 -2004 and the kept drinking til 2018! I then stopped! but I do have 1 or 2 lagers once a month since 2024 and a glass of champagne on special occasions but no thoughts about devouring 1ltr bottles of Bacardi anymore in fact not had a Bacardi since 2018!
Hi Joel, you are such a compassionate man - thank-you for highlighting this subject... Yes, I think specialist centres like this are the way ahead, as I have in the past encountered people attempting to detox in acute mental health wards, which are often highly-stressed environments anyway, with staff running around responding from one crisis to another and having little time to actually offer much in the way of support to those that need it. Fortunately, I was able to identify by my early 20s that frequent drinking would probably put me on that slippery slope and so, I very seldom drink much alcohol. I haven't done so well in relation to certain types of foods however (dairy products in the main) and I'm now so obese I am unable to walk very far, and my breathing ability is also compromised. Unfortunately, eating disorder services aren't very well resourced at the present time, and there are waiting lists of 2 - 3 years to access each part of the services that are available; which vary from health authority to healthy authority. Hence, I do feel that my longevity and at times, my life, is under some considerable threat as a consequence.
The carnivore diet could help you.
I wish this was around when my nephew was in trouble with drink he got prescibed tablets which relays on them taking them, he ended up in a drunken stupor thought his roomate was attacking him infact he was attacking him he has been in prison for murder for life, i pray if anyone needs help please get it. 😢
And another very big point that can help with addiction are self-support-groups like AA and NA
Alcohol-withdrawel is nothing to take on the easy. Alcohol is the only drug where you shouldn´t stop consuming before going into clinic because of the seizure-risk
I love your reaction videos, always interesting.
Victoria Derbyshire (pronounced Dar-bee-sheer) is a TV journalist, not a place Joel. My young apprentice has much to learn. I lost a cousin due to alcoholism, it destroys not only their lives but the lives of their loved ones, friends and family. This hits home with me so so much watching that person slowly disappear, but you can’t help them unless they want to be helped. Great reaction. Here in the UK peoples health comes before profit. Unlike the USA nhs has procurement depts which hammer down the prices due to bulk ordering for the whole of the service. Unlike the USA where each hospital buys for itself only. We are lucky here in the uk, but at the moment the NHS is in melt down.
I don’t drink, I have a bottle of Southern Comfort which I have had for over 12 yrs and never opened it. I have an open bottle which is a third empty I have had for nearly 20yrs. It just doesn’t bother me, I have never smoked either. It’s such a shame to see people like this. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 It isn’t pleasant to watch but people need to see this.
I an from The UK. I am 58. I had my first suicide attempt at 22 but I was still living with my parents
and they managed to convince everyone that it was just a drunken accident. My second suicide attempt
I was living on my own so I got sectioned which means you have to go to a mental hospital. I speant 3
months as an in patient and 2 as a day patient. This was in 2000. At the moment I am signed off as sick
but I have been in work for 16 years off and on. The medication they give you is crap. It makes you lose
interest in the things you like; films music, so in a way you feal worse but you can't be bothered to
do anything. Therapist's are a waste of time. I like to call them the_rapist. So the only thing that keeps
me going is the good ol booze
You're very compassionate to highlight this. In my view, alcoholics deserve treatment as much as anyone else. Quite often addiction is correlated to mental illness or is seen in patients with chronic pain or other physical illness. In terms of allocating funding to alcohol and drug addiction centres, I think there should be taxpayer investment in such services because intervention can prevent the onset of physical disease that can occur because of excessive alcohol consumption, such as liver failure and certain cancers. So, investment in addiction intervention saves the NHS money in the long run.
10:14 Social infrastructure should be such that alcohol is phased out rather than outright banned.
Personally, I don't drink, though I did years ago. In my very humble opinion, alcoholism is a serious illness and those affected need help.
One way or another, the people in the UK, will be paying for the damage caused by alcohol abuse - vandalism, broken families, car accidents etc, etc. So, why not spend this money on assisting the alcoholics to detox AND with remaining sober?!! In the long run, it will save the nation money AND save precious lives.
Great video Joel, going off piste a bit i have spent about a year wondering who you reminded me of. Going through old music video's from the 60's and there you were !!! One of the main singers in " The Tremoloes " i think his stage name was Chip Hawkes . . have fun looking at yourself in another life lollll
Looks far more like Chesney Hawkes.
2:51 I average 20 pints a day for the last 2 years and got fat 🤔
I drink every night, if i wanted to quit tomorrow i would. But im fine.
75% of Attendees not having to go to to hospital over the next 3 months seems a good stat , but what is the stat prior to attending ? and what is the addiction rate after attending , only long term data will give a fair insight to the effectiveness of this programme , may addicts change substances we need those stays aswell
Don't know if you read comments , but can you watch . Denying your health care is big business in America. ( New York Times )
"Share any thoughts related to alcohol" - it's great!
Vodka and pain killers killed him at 39
Nobody wants to be an Alcoholic ... It just creeps up on you before you realise it and then you're so dependent on it you don't realise that your an addict to it, when I realised that I was becoming dependent on alcohol I tried talking to my parents about trying to become less dependant on alcohol they suggested that I talked to my priest 😮😮😮
I never talked to my parents again.
I still have issues with alcohol but not to the extent that I turned to my parents for advice.
Why’s it always an Evertonian?! I’m a fan by the way.
So hard to watch cos my twin died in the icu 4 years ago and now im drinking myself to death cos i miss him
I do feel there has to be a less moralising stance on sobriety. Shame only causes more harmful effects.

And Until society takes accountability for the problems it causes, and sees itself as the root cause for this, alcoholism, drug abuse, mental illness will NOT go away. There are ALWAYS underlying causes to all problems. Its not the individuals fault. Its EVERYONE's fault.

Dry January is very popular in the UK. I think it’s good as it highlights to people what their relationship to alcohol is. If they are finding it hard they often make longer term changes in their life.
High time for a box opening no?
Hi Joel , it was an interesting video (pierre)
It's pronounced Darbyshire, but spelt Derbyshire
Psycqhelps, you need to understand and face the ‘why’.

Hi Joel... Sorry to be a pedant (it's just how I am - and I'll be _71_ next Saturday, 3rd August.'24, so _please_ don't expect me to change now!!)
Anyway, _Derby_ / _Derbyshire_ is pronounced 'Darby' / 'Darbyshur' and so _not_ how it is _spelt_ _nor_ how you would say it in America (naturally?!) 🙂Sorry to interrupt your video subject with an 'apparently minor' side story. ♥️🏴🖖
Joel, it might all be free, but next Monday, it is assumed that the new Chancellor of the Exchequer will say the UK is £20 billion in debt.
DRRRby Shyer.
