4:00 that hit me. You’re usually the quiet one but after some drinks you’re the life of the party, but then there’s a point where it all goes to shit and everyone is pissed at you.
@Michael I feel you brother. I've been sober since 5/25/17. Did 17 months between 2 programs, back to back with a relapse in between. I learned quite frankly that severe addiction comes from fear and pain, no matter who or where. Once you see it simply, and come with gratitude, everything changes. Just felt like sharing my story. ONWARD.
Yeah, I could never live up to my drunk self while being sober! It's exhausting trying to keep up with that. It's like 2 different people. I've excepted that I'm someone that isn't thrilled about social interaction, and that's okay.
@@VioletEmerald Just about all his points are valid observations. Happiness is a super subjective and vague term. For many it's a moment or period in their lives that resonates with them the most. But, always fleeting. Contentment is a far more realistic goal & mindset.
Back then everyone was unhappy and it was the job of the unhappy to pull everyone down to his level. That is how a lot of alcoholics and drug addicts are. They don't believe happiness exists, and must make sure it doesn't exist for anyone else so they don't feel like they are missing out. It's pathetic.
I read somewhere that David grew up in White Plains which is where half my family is from, so its funny hearing him mention places like Mount Kisco and the reservoirs around there. Anyway, he seems like a really genuine, relatable dude.
David Harbour is for Hopper what Robert Downey jr is for Tony Stark...they own their characters for they are their characters. David's struggles are similar to Hopper's after losing his daughter. And his charisma is unbeatable.
Can't get over what a rad dude David is. Such a real guy. I remember seeing him always as like an FBI agent or those types of roles real clean cut and by-the-book official, never would've guessed in a million years he's such a down to earth guy.

I know exactly the feelings he's described. I wasn't much of an underage drinker though (unless you count a party my parents took me to where myself and another kid went and drained the adults glasses whilst they weren't paying attention. They found us passed out under the table.) I certainly didn't have much truck with drugs. Once I got to 18 though people just seemed more comfortable around me after I had had a few beers.
@@ejshafer Thank you my friend. It has been awful to get out from, but now it’s great to be sober. Never thought I’d survive, it was that bad, for me anyway. Much love to those struggling with it, and those few that try to support us, and not leave. Those are the truly incredible people, and the reason we survive this. Will also add that it’s not on anyone’s shoulders, but an addict will die if there’s no one left, which unfortunately more than often becomes the case, which is reasonable. I respect the people that took distance, but I love those who stayed.
@@ejshafer and the same to you! sometimes it’s strange to be in a comment section and someone touches your heart, but never to know who we’re talking to, and where life will take us. Just a shower thought. May you have a GREAT life, and thank you for the love. Appreciate it my friend.
For anyone who hadn’t noticed the mirroring of body language in these interviews (which is an endearing thing in itself), the echoing of (my pet hate…) the unnecessary use of ‘like’, is next level and in this interview, so affable. Appreciated; my whole comment will seem pretentious but really, i’m just in it for the emotional connection to all the interviewees. 🙏🏼
I just found out that this man grew up in the same area as me. I can definitely understand where he’s coming from. It was something I got into through friends as well to try and be comfortable in social settings, but it can quickly read its ugly head. Shoutout to him for overcoming it though, very inspirational

Alcohol has always had little to no effect on me, even as a teenager. I recently took a 23 and me test, and it turned out that I'm genetically resistant to the effects of alcohol. Who knew?
I had the exact same confusion as a kid, so accurate, wtf... Now as an adult, as I learn a bit more about the world, I realize people do things because they have to survive and to live, once the basics are satisfied they want to do more things, consume more stuff to avoid boredom and seek pleasure. We are designed to move like all other animals, it's hard wired to our genes. Unlike other animals humans had some big leap in intelligence by chance or whatever, then they began to invent and create stuff and build societies. Societies got bigger, more complicated and sophisticated. At this point we've accumulated thousands of years of knowledge discovered and refined by our ancestors, and we're still building up the pile. There's so many things to do and see because we've made this world so colorful, especially after the industrial revolution. But... It comes with issues. We take these things for granted. Too immersed in this socially constructed reality. We just go along with the flow cuz that's what everyone else's doing instead of slowing down and thinking about why we are here doing this etc. Coming into this world, Being taught how to walk, how to talk. Going to school. Being injected values, ideals, traditions, customs by our parents and people around us, learning that we should go to college and find a job/chase your dream and buy a house get married and have children... This is the standard formular for being a human in this modern era. It's laid out in front of us for us to follow. What else are we supposed to do? Like me living with parents staying home 24/7 doing nothing other than losing my shit? :)
It's a crazy thing. As I am a 30 year old man, with severe liver damage; I'm a walking, talking PSA to not do this. As a 20 year old with a drinking problem problem; I wish I would've known what I know now... Drinking is awesome. Until it takes over your life...
Reasearch Star Seeds. Many of us feel like strangers in a strange land because this is our first-time incarnating on Earth. Many of us are Star Seeds who come from a soul group that is not of Earth, but from other star systems. That is why humanity and human society feels so foreign to us, because it is all new to us non-Earth souls.
@@janedoe327 My late wife was friends with Teal Swan. We had lots of very interesting talks about Star Seeds, Kundalini awakenings etc together. It resonates alot.
Holy fucking shit. I don't get why I am here either. Still looking. I don't want to kill myself, I'll let life or covid do that, and I'll be relieved, but whatever. Love this interview. So good.

Ya famous people are funny. They always pretend to have some deep thought about changing the world they can't wait to tell you about but then contribute to the problem even worse then most people.
As an alcoholic myself,it does no good to moralize about addiction. It's as much a part of me as my penis size or eye color. Some people can drink w/o it killing them physically and spirituously, and some people can't. So every day I don't drink, just like I don't play russian roulette and don't drive 90 mph on dark country roads.

Also it scares me how much him saying "Who's happy?" then laughing, hit home for me. I feel like someone just punched me in the chest.

I totally agree. I am always confused by humanity.

yup, if your alcoholic, it just stops working after a while, and you have to get sober.

Wow yeah
He needs to be in Falstaff which is about a degenerate alcoholic knight being a bad influence
