Love this interview. I have battled with addiction to drink and drugs for over 25 years. Im now about 14 months clean and sober. Up until I watched this video, I never considered myself an alcoholic. I thought of myself as a 'binge drinker'. But hearing the way tubes described an alcoholic, made me realise thats exactly what I was. Someone who couldn't control alcohol or deal with lifee without getting absolutely hammered, Thanks guys.
This is great! Tubes and smithy thank you! Pete had a hand to play in me getting sober in the early days of golf life and helped motivate me to keep clean. That's the booze, the drugs and the gambling and even smoking been knocked on the head. I don't count the days because I use to get obsessed with that but it's been a while now cheers lads
Not one to normally comment on videos but what amazing honesty from Tubes and Smithy. I could relate to a lot of the themes spoken about and it’s so important that we have conversations like these. Props to you both.
I'm currently drinking 2 litres of rum or vodka a day. I'm lost and broken. I'm stuck between worlds. If anyone knows what i mean by that i truly wish you well and i hope you find the right world by choice not by substance abuse. ❤
I feel you, I’m in the same boat but it won’t change anything just dull the pain. You need to break the cycle and it’s easier said than done but it’s for the best. I’m not gonna preach to you, just know you have people who have your back!! Even if you don’t know them.
Tubes is a legend we all watched him on Soccer AM and probably thought the same thing just a lad having a good time only to realise he had a problem and the troubles he's had. Love his honest and candid view on his life so pleased he's in a better place in his life now as we may not have had Golf Life so Tubes you golf life legend . Hats off to you mate 👏
I don't like Golf at all, but have wasted many hours in the last week watching Golf Life because I saw Tubes & co on Stephen Hendry's channel.......it's compulsive viewing and has made me fancy a game of Golf! What a bloke Tubes is....didn't know any of the things he's talked about in this interview. Stay strong mate!!!
Thanks very much for your honesty and integrity tubes, that's just what I needed to hear today. Inspiring stuff keep going mate. Love the channel and the golf stuff thanks mate.
A great interview and refreshing to hear Tubes honesty. My brother gave up drinking 14 years ago for similar reasons and says it’s the biggest con in the world. Good luck to you both!
Brilliant interview. To those e people sharing that they are in a bad way right now. Please hear this and know that it doesn’t have to be this way. It can be better.
im 10 years clean 14 hc , i dont need AA lol i just don’t take the first drink, literally step one, i started substance abuse around 9 , was expelled from school, in trouble with the law , and went to rehab when i was 38, been clean since then, last 10 years struggled with gambling, and 2 weeks ago i was diagnosed with autism , i feel a little bit like i was failed by the system but hay hoe lets see what the future brings, i feel exactly what you where describing , it sounds like you are both on the spectrum maybe adhd too
We’ll done tubes keep up the good work bro I’ve been in a similar situation with drink and drugs but I’m ploughing on,you might have lost 10/15 year but the next 15 are looking good ❤
I drink 6 nights out of 7. Every morning I wake up and hate my self, n think ‘not tonight’. I go through the day not even thinking about having a drink. Yet I find myself drinking alone in the kitchen watching RU-vid every night
Same mate used to put away 16 to 20 bottles most nights get up go to work like a zombie dark times , was sober 3 years yesterday, I went to aa and made some changes for the better, u can do it mate but only u can good luck
Love what he said on the back end of this about loving golf but not watching it. My mate got me into golf about a year ago but for the life of me I just can't sit still and watch it. I'l watch highlights etc but for me I just want to be either on the range or on the course.
Loved that. I only encountered Tubes through Golf Life (and I don’t care for golf) but found his positivity engaging - had no idea he wasn’t just a random golf nut as I never watched Soccer AM. I have some of his alcohol traits so can connect with quite a bit of this but it’s a great example of how happy post booze people can be (heart attack aside!)
