the scene when he was looking for sarah and shaking as he just woke up really shows why alcohol has the worst long term addictions thank you very much for this vidieo i listen to it when i wake up it helps me cope
I'm a screenwriter and a hopeless drunk myself... I'll admit this hits me way too close to home... more than the movie did. Just remember what Bukowski once wrote "there's light somewhere. Might not be much, but it sure beats the darkness."
Yeah, the Las Vegas' life style drinking alcohol and partying with hot babes-- Its just the way of life for most of us. I don't live their now, but I still missed it because it was an adult playground for having lots of fun.
My Mother...thats how I can relate.The Last time was Christmas falling over the tree infront of my kids..F*ckin Hardcore to the MAX! Cant be around it and that hurts even more! This song/vid takes me right there but im on the outside lookin in. Havent seen it in a while...Thx, reminds me I dont muthaf*kin miss it either.
It's nearly 9:00 o'clock and I'm already half-cut. It doesn't make me happy, but it helps to still the shakes. Thanks for the video. Thanks for the brief distraction.
@BlindDeadJones There should be an online way we can talk just for us fuckwits. The AA steps sounds a little scary right now. BTW saw Crazy Heart the other night, check it out friend.
I use to be like Ben but I met a girl and she asked me to quit and I did. However since she's left me I crave alcohol all the time but I still haven't given in. I do have a problem with abusing medications though.
@xbigd1987x I love this video (and the movie), and I still struggle with the drink often. Its been a long drawn out romance.
@ Ben I have girls that want me to quit, but Im still being stupid about it....you know..."I can handle it" "This time will be different" etc. etc. A lot of people still believe or whatever, but I hide it well.. AND Im a binge drinker (instead of an everyday one) so I suppose that helps...see me perfectly sober for a few days, then dont accuse!
@crud4 ok, perhaps you are a priest. i'm sorry, bro, but, as peter was married (see the NT), the notion that ministers must be celibate is a lie... if you are not a priest, how do you know? then: glory to the drunkin' priest. maybe that priest, without sex, without booze, has a real calling. if you are a priest, and you are struggling...do the martin luther thing...GET OUTTA THERE.
