"I just wanted to let you know that your methods truly work. Living with addiction is really difficult, and this past week has been tough, too. Your videos and teachings make it a little easier for us to navigate through these uncertainties. I kept trying to do all you teach, and slowly, things started getting better. My husband never even touched alcohol until 2016. He started drinking socially in 2017. His drinking started to escalate during quarantine and became a noticeable problem by 2022.

We were constantly fighting, yelling, and calling each other names, only making things worse, and then, early this year, I found your YouTube channel. It took me a little while to truly understand the problem and address the problems I was creating in the relationship. It's taken so many bad things to catch his attention, like… feeling bad all the time, missing work, fights with his family, financial strain, feeling sick every morning, losing a lot of weight, a DUI, and blackouts.

But I can tell things are starting to shift. I'm hearing a lot of talk about change! I know in my heart that he truly wants to quit alcohol. Recently, my husband quit for two weeks. Yesterday, he had a really bad day at work and drank alcohol to cope with it. He ended up in a blackout, and I had to have friends pick him up. I don't know if I did the right thing, but after this episode, he went for his doctor's appointment today, so I am hopeful. The doctor feels he is really trying to quit but is having a tough time dealing with cravings and stress. The doctor prescribed him that medicine (Antabuse) that makes you sick if you drink.

I can tell that my husband is truly committed to starting his medications and conquering this alcohol problem. I know things won't fix overnight, but I think he is on the right path, which is helping calm my anxiety. Again, thank you so much for everything! I would have been lost without you. You are touching lives around the world with your videos.

May God bestow you with peace, happiness, well-being, family time, and so much more. My journey started on YouTube with Johann Hari's talk called "Everything You Know About Addiction is Wrong," later, I found you, and I only have gratitude today."
