And this is why Jenna is my favorite! That could not be easy to tell the world that her dad had a problem. But she brings it up to help all of us. You are the best Jenna.
My uncle Bobby was the town drunk my entire early life. That’s what he was known for. I heard he started drinking right after his 1st wife died right after child birth. But he stopped drinking on his own 1 day after most of our immediate family went out to Cali to visit one of my aunts for summer vacation. Well while out there he got drunk and got arrested and embarrassed my grandparents. It hurt him so much that he never had another drink. He became the most reliable person in the family after that. Went to church all the time and sung in the choir, who knew he could sing. And he got married again. Thank God the last 20 years of his life was productive. RIP Uncle Bobby.

I am so glad that Jennas dad took her and her twin sister out for a walk while in Maine for a wedding and spoke about alcohol and drugs,and how much it can cloud your vision and judgment for the rest of your life.Even making you a prisoner for the rest of your life,for one nights fit of jonezing,and never being able to change the outcome of ones loved one.because of self centered needs of the addiction they had.Thanks for sharing that father daughter talk they had together.Godspeed:) sincerely Donna Callahan-Spencer
Alcoholism is really such a sad disease. My Dad is struggling through this right now, and has been for around 20 years. He's recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the lungs, liver, lymph nodes, etc, and, at 66 years old, he looks like he's in his 90's. We've been told that he's reaching the end stage now and it will honestly be a blessing when he passes because alcohol excess has really taken it's toll, not only on him, but on us, his family, too
Tori, All prayers and good wishes sending your way. I’m so sorry your Father is suffering. As a daughter in a similar position, this is the part of addiction fallout many don’t understand. The constant worry and anxiety over our Parents well being. It causes cptsd in childhood experience. Trauma. We are witness’s who care. I wish you peace. I know you deserve it. X
@@nicoles7800 thank you so much, Nicole. It's the most difficult thing I've ever had to go through, to witness the man I always looked up to falling apart right in front of me and feeling so helpless. So many people disagree that it is a disease. They're of the opinion that he chose to live like this and, to a degree, yes, I guess he did. But what they don't understand is that the debilitating effects of alcoholism take quite some time to manifest. By the time that happens, often it's just too late. It has such a grip on that person, that they're just not strong enough to fight it. It destroys lives. My Dad is not the man I remember from my childhood. Sure, there's still a part of him deep within that I'll always treasure, but my Dad, for the most part, died a long time ago. Thank you for your words and prayers. Sending light and love your way, too, and to everyone else who is struggling in one way or another 💜
So sorry you have gone through this for so long, and still going through this now, with it ending in a sad way. My heart also goes out to your dad for all his regret he has to face from life with no resolution as this disease takes his life. How very sad for him. I hope you, he, and all your family can make the best possible of your time left together and it is only filled with love, with no regrets for you and other family survivors. Prayers to you, your dad, and all your family for all the very best. God bless you all.🙏🏼❤
@Tori . Greatful for your gracious reply. Hold strong. The World Health Organisation have classified Alcohol and and drug abuse as a serious terminal disease. It is genetic and also Triggered by lifelong abuse of every kind. .
What a beautiful family. I've loved getting to know Jenna, through her journalism & now on this show. She's an awesome person, and comes from a great family. Something I don't think I would've said or cared about in the throes of everything (Presidency) or during the "Bush girls gone wild College Days." I literally felt like, who care, just a couple of spoiled rich kids. LOL!😂 She's an awesome choice to sit beside Hoda! She brings so much to the show. Great job, NBC! ❤️
I was quite a party girl in my teens and early 20's. Basically I was the Lindsay Lohan of 1978! But as I had kids, I eased out of it. Now I have a drink once in a while and it's not an issue any more.
nickiz life It’s taken me more time that I’d like to really accept this bit of advise from my SIL who suffered from the same problem when she told me this: “Acceptance is Stage 5 in Grieving, because you’re grieving a relationship that will NEVER BE WHAT YOU WANT/WANTED” When I said something like “...but if” or “...when she” my SIL would repeat “NEVER, never,never...” No if’s or buts-accept the loss & move on & accept that your acceptance may not be perfect❤️Denial, Anger & Bargaining... one step I’m forgetting 😀...& ACCEPTANCE is the last & most difficult one I finally accepted that I may never get completely over it the way that I wanted to, but I had to accept that my grief wasn’t going to keep me from my Joy, which is non-negotiative (sp?) No one is perfect but I’ll be darned if that disease was going to destroy one more life That’s taking responsibility for our own joy & it’s pretty great from this side! Practice embracing your joy & happiness & thank
So true yeh you can have rehab but in the end ya have to put the kabosh on for yourself even if you think just a few drinks ya have to get to route of it.
I would agree ! If one parent or both parents have a SUD, it can be horrible not only for the individual who has an addiction, but their spouse, and if there is a child or multiple children involved, it can brutal for them ! Because they will always take a "Backseat" to the parents' SUD. Sometimes, depending how deep the addiction is (daily user, recreational etc), the financial priority for the individual who has the SUD becomes the addiction, and not to invest in their children. Moreover, if there is domestic violence involved, that only exacerbates the problems. Personally, I believe that in order to assist the individual with the SUD, one must get to the core of the issues, and figure out why they self soothe. Last, once the individual is fully committed toward sobriety, is willing to complete the work, then, success (elimination) is definitely possible !! 👍👍 The main goal, is to be satisfied within your own skin, so to speak, without any substances.
It does start often in the pregnancy, e.g. drugs, smoking = high risk of ADHD Too much media consumption is of no help there either, leave it undiagnosed (the kid is just "lively" and society worships their needs beyond what is actually healthy), and any kind of addictionand/or high risk behaviour (e.g., early/unwanted pregnencies) is very very likely. Trauma is the other main cause, and never judge the size of any, one war-combat veteran may be fine, another person may suffer from bullying, they don't make it up, you recognize it simply in the bs they do, while thinking that's okay/normal! Alcohol and gambling used to be the drugs of choice for ages, but the economy came up with more subtle and complex ways to benefit from them - I for one even count the overboarding tourism of late among those! It's not a viscious circle though, there needs to be more awarness in society, but even more so in poltics! This is not just expensive, it destroys relationships and/or communities, the environment (the more we consume, exploit animals...), ultimately it kills. Wanna heel the world, either heel yourself or your neighbour first.
W any addiction,that’s pretty much what it’s bout but you just have to learn how to carry that burden and know it’ll be w you for the rest of your life.learn to be a survivor.
All the fresh light of day disappears for them. It's gone. Maybe 55 years of life disappeared. I was lucky though, midst distorted peer pressure since very young. They would put a glass of alcoholic beverage in front of me, and I would take one swallow or two of it: and my appetite for it always clicked off. It is actually easy. Transparency of talking about it is one thing. Another thing is, that I know from looking at Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Tommy and Chris; that Stevie actually won it. Against the hard speed dope booze tricks that get dumped on innocent. I think that Stevie realized when he Stepped Up, that he was one who never desired to make a sadist parasite act against a person. Knowing that, he could be happy again. Therefore, he is really respected for Stepping Up. A real, good Texan. He was one who, together with his team, got the freedom to be Not Struggling With It.
I hope they have stopped drinking wine on their EARLY MORNING show. That has always bothered me,especially since they go home to care for children. I have taken a break from television for awhile so I don’t know if they have stopped.
Jenna is soo weird and wild that is unbelievable. I don't know why she was hired by nbc. Someone should straighten her out. She is a compulsive talker and very loudmouth. She certainly doesn't have class,

I love that they talk to each other and look in each other's eyes instead of to the camera all the time.
And this is why Jenna is my favorite! That could not be easy to tell the world that her dad had a problem. But she brings it up to help all of us. You are the best Jenna.
I don’ know why you bring up her father. The picture shows this crazy and compulsive talker. She is wild!
He has written a book about his alcoholism. It was not a secret.
I absolutely love Jenna..she is a good compliment to Hooda the difference in generations and mentorship Hoda gives to Jenna is so endearing

so happy your Uncle Bobby was able to turn his life around and I’m sure he’d appreciate you remembering him positively ✨
That’s so beautiful. What an awesome uncle you had. Thank you for sharing 💓
Bless his heart. I have learned that people who have addictions, have pain that is too much to handle. It always goes back to pain

I love these two fire women together. Very interesting chemistry and topic. Thanks.
The two of them clearly show they are bipolar.
@@lindakazsals8858 ?
I LOVE these two ladies! Jenna is so down to earth. She’s funny and pretty!
They are both men ...wake up
I can attest first hand to his remarkable journey and how there was nothing easy about what he has accomplished.

love the honesty .
They are dudes you TV watching zombie 😂
"Wait... is that me?" Best quote
You two are awesome 💕
I think most people who really care and are aware make this realization.
I was quite a party girl in my teens and early 20's. Basically I was the Lindsay Lohan of 1978! But as I had kids, I eased out of it. Now I have a drink once in a while and it's not an issue any more.
Not in my family... always feel horrible after confrontation. Awesome!
You guys are great together!
Good words
Fantastic conversation about alcoholism, I’m proud of Ben.
Addiction is a family trauma that destroys everyone. Get to an AlAnon meeting, or 100, & save yourself ♥️

The Gorgeous Jenna Bush!!!
I love these two magnificent woman 👍 🙏 I like the dress color of Jenna Hager 👍
Then why do you have a glass of wine in front of you at 10 AM?
Deborah Loftus, Really good question!
cathy They are still role models to teens and young adults
Deborah Loftus adults can drink and teens know that?
Deborah, Very good question... hypocritical to say the least..
NO Alcohol in her glass!
Love these two! ❤️
So true yeh you can have rehab but in the end ya have to put the kabosh on for yourself even if you think just a few drinks ya have to get to route of it.
I recommend The Naked Mind book by Annie Grace
Really helpful about any problematic issue
Kudos to u daddy bush
Yes, Parasite is well made entertaining movie for sure.
This from the lady who drank huge glasses of wine I the Am with Kathy Lee.

Where was this LOVE FEST when he was President?
Lol
Jenna is so much better than Kathy Lee
Anything....is.....better....than.....KATHY LEE !!!!! 😱🤢
I live in Spain....why can’t you open a bottle of wine at 5:00pm?
Actus Reus well that was quite the jump.
Boa noite, uma boa entrevista com essa Jenna, muito franca.Adorei o vídeo.
Be Careful, Jenna! I Don’t Like Alcohol!
♥️♥️♥️😇😇✨💯
Jenna is looking so pretty ! She looks like she’s lost weight ?
Did she comb or fix her hair?? 😩
She's wearing her colors. I noticed that too. Warm make up tones.
Well she is a dude,and so is that other creature.
(It's not new, but) she has her mom's beautiful eyes. 👀
Poor guy
4:30

Who doesn't have a issue with alcohol...really we everyone of us has a issue
So much addictions these days..
Hmmm
Dope sick nation. 👎

Jenna, try drinking with you dad. Bonding and healing!
These guys are great, AA works for some quite well for others not so much. Small town Annonimity issues important job blah blah.Sawadee Khap.🤠
W any addiction,that’s pretty much what it’s bout but you just have to learn how to carry that burden and know it’ll be w you for the rest of your life.learn to be a survivor.
I'm gonna be honest, I don't like G Bush but Jenna seems cool woman

Alcoholism. Does not cross the 1776 Border. Mat Damon and He that film was amazing.
If Kelly Rippa is the most shallow, these two are the most substantive.
Feed the hungry with your billions. That'll make you feel better
Alcoholism isn’t inherited it’s learned just like any other
Dumb down Politics? Strange.
I hope they have stopped drinking wine on their EARLY MORNING show. That has always bothered me,especially since they go home to care for children. I have taken a break from television for awhile so I don’t know if they have stopped.
*@Carolyn Kor* It may not have been wine. And if it was, maybe a spritzer
👴☺
ライバル出現🇨🇦👑👧❇❇❇❇
Dont spend the weekend at fresno goldiggers
6:25 - 6:41 Hoda drinks from the coveted TODAY with Hoda and Jenna 12oz tumbler 😩🥲
Ladies cut your hair. You two are so beautiful.
Why should they cut their hair?
Suzanne Schulz why do they have to cut their hair? Apparently they like their hair. I’m sick of women cutting each other’s appearances down.
And yet, they are drinking before noon! 🙄
what happened to her face?
habbogigi what happened to yours?
It not true it's abuse and laid about me wat American people did to me
Jenna is soo weird and wild that is unbelievable. I don't know why she was hired by nbc. Someone should straighten her out. She is a compulsive talker and very loudmouth. She certainly doesn't have class,
Can'r stand Jenna Bush - and I despise W.
Jenna never shared that she is a cigarette smoker....bummer.
