    As much as some may want to dislike Louis for his past decisions, the fact of the matter is this is REAL LIFE. Not a movie with a script and a happy ending. This is his life and some of the things he's had to live with and by the grace of God he's finally given himself permission to share and release. Can you imagine how incredibly hard some of this stuff is to even admit out loud to yourself let alone millions of people on the internet, some of whom will get to look you in your face on the street or on the bus after you've pretty much bared your soul? There are things I don't even feel comfortable writing in my diary and I live alone. But that's how shame works; it holds you hostage, unable to heal or grow. Louis is a human being and by design like us all, he is flawed. Tuck away your judgment, remove your biases and take your rose colored glasses off. This too can be and IS real life for many people and they too have a voice worth being shared. Life is not black and white. Louis is an example of that.

People on here very rarely consider the victims, because they see him as a victim. They just gloss over whoever he hurt as if they don't matter. Louis matters, but not his victims? People are strange. That's the nicest thing I can say about them without going off.

    Real Eyes Realize Real Lies. The clarity of past wrongs and the hurt you inflicted on others is what will be your healing Grace. When you open your eyes and realize your lies are what shamed you and everyone who had the audacity to trust and love you, you can't help but heal. Internally and externally you can change your future. It's a long road, but you have potential to be a good human and help others instead of focusing on what your demons have stolen from you. Your past does not need to repeat itself in your future. Stay strong and do right by people. And do it sober.

That's why he got her high. He knew she wouldn't be able to handle it, and it would cause feelings that she may have not understood. He took advantage of a child that was probably angry at her mom, for working too much.

My life had been stuck for too many years because of addictions (not drug nor alcohol but serious gambling, wich is the typical "Doing the same thing expecting a different result" occupation that you stated. I worked on myself and figure out I was not able to plan anything for myself (or for two) for the future, no projection, no project, stuck in the moment thinking about the next horse race, or the next basketball game to bet on while working a lot in a job I (now) barely like...I just put a date in the future - 30 september 2022, will try to stay "sober" and work on myself and find a new professional path. I am confident that if I succeed, nice things will come on the way with this turnaround. Bless you

    Addiction isn’t always the same as a PG lifetime movie or Netflix short series, it’s real life. This man kept it all the way honest and transparent, I’m not saying don’t judge/have an opinion because of the gravity of his actions. I’m saying don’t just assume he’s any different or (better or worse) than the addicts you sympathize with just because his story is more explicit than theirs. His mistakes don’t make the actual underlying issue any less valid or him any less of a human being struggling with powerful demons. The truth is simply the truth, nothing more or less & our subjective evaluation of the truth should be used to create more conversations that allow us to be more empathetic, understanding, and capable of finding solutions to the issues we face in society as a whole. Attacking and persecuting any human being’s honest truth will only create a society in which more people lie and become consumed by the truths they hide, thus creating greater negative events that more people become the victims of.

      We are NOT all proud of him. I would be proud of him if he were making amends for his poor behavior instead of excusing his behavior. Don't get me wrong, I am all to familiar with the idea of being powerless to addiction. But it only helps if you use that thought to propell yourself to make better choices

    Not for who he is and definitely not for what he's done.. but for his courage to tell the truth.. If everyone with his condition did this, then the world would be a much better place.. I would never leave him with my kids but I would educate them on the type of people that exist.. Cautionary tales...

    More interviews like this pls. I know everyone shares their story differently but I relate to this story or at least how aware he is of his addiction and the hold it has on him. I've learned in recovery that someone's story could save another person life, you won't believe the impact of someone sharing their story can have on another addict. And it is true. I pray I find sobriety again.
