    Good interview. Unfortunately I missed the first 3.
    I’m wide-awake here in the U.K (It’s 3.45am) as I have an MRCP of my kidney at 8.10am, and a drive to the hospital is involved. Then a rush-back for a doctor’s appointment.
    Picking up on a couple of points…
    I’ve never ‘done’ AA, but understand that finding a sponsor can be very hard.
    Outside of AA, how/where and from whom do you find and get support? You can’t check into a free detox in the U.K, though recovery programs involving a detox do exist, but take a long time to arrange.
    Also, everything stays on your medical record here! I don’t even know at what level someone would need a detox.
    I live alone, and although hobbies/occupations are a good idea, I really struggle to find a passion. I am literally accountable to no one. So how/where do I find this accountability from?
    I actually hate alcohol, for me it is/was a ‘habit’. At 56 feel I almost feel that it’s too late to ‘start again’.
    I’d be interested to get feedback on the above.
    Sorry if the above is a bit ‘jumbled’, I’m tired, so better drive slowly!
    Love to all.

    A new generation of problem drinkers and fully addicted alcoholics are out there. You're both telling them to find a different path with your four part series. This has the power to possibly save hundreds if not thousands of lives if people listen and are open to change. One of you or both need to take your story on the road. Take your story far a wide. It can better our Country as a whole since alcohol is so widely accepted. Thanks SO much for your openness. It was inspiring for me even after 5 years of freedom. - Ryan in San Diego.

    I am beyond late to this video, but I wanted to say thank you to both, Will, and LD for your message. This was a great conversation, and some really great advice at the end. You let people know what they can be expecting from sobriety in the best and most uncomfortable of ways. I can remember myself dealing with grief and just major anxiety when I quit. I was so used to just knocking myself out when I felt any big emotions. Well, here I was, sober, and sitting with two of them after losing my father and thinking to myself that I would give anything to just knock myself out. My sibling was with me, and I just turned to them and told them that. I was like..I really wouldn't be mad at you if you just clocked me upside the head. Just to knock me out for a bit! They actually laughed and said, same! Thar actually helped a lot. To hear that they wanted to escape their emotions as well. We laughed for a few minutes at the statement and then sat there feeling terrible together. I did a lot of that in the first few genuine months of sobriety! The first month from an outsider's perspective just looked like depression, I'm sure. A lot of dark rooms, movies watching me, junk food and hermitting. Lol but it did get better very quickly in the grand scheme of things. Anyways, I'm rambling! Thank you for all that you both do. ❤❤❤

    I need help. I'm pregnant and cant quit drinking with an abusive husband I literally was about to divorce and no support from anyone (Sx asslt is how it happened) And isolation from family and friends is why I have no support. I have 5 kids, all school age. So youre telling me im to go to the ER with NO HELP, no money (financial abuse) and just "get help" and "find support". Whos watching my 5 kids all week while I do this. Never even had one day of help. Not happening!!! And now I have to either have an abortion which will make the alcohol addiction WORSE (not my first one, and is super traumatic, mightveven cause unaliving at this point - already have ptsd) or have a kid I cant take care of with a DBD. Stop making this sound easy. For some of us its literally impossible.
