We need to hear from her ,looking into the journey of her brothers alcoholism .Alcoholism kill more people each year than ,cancer accidents combined ,it's a silent killer, Lynn Matt 18:12
“What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?
One day at a time;one life at a time.
One of my favourite episodes so far....thanks for this story, Lynn. And congratulations to Chris
How can we reach Chris
I have no reason why I drink, but now I have reasons why I should not drink. Thanks to this episode
May God keep you going... You can do this!💪
You have the reason why you should not drink, God enables you
Cheers that’s a road to recovery coz u have identified uaself . All the best Peter Bush
Be encouraged my dear🙏 may you prosper in the Mighty Name of Christ Jesus 🙏
His sister is an amazing person, we all need to recognize that, she never got tired of him despite all the disappointments. She played a big role in his recovery journey.
Very true 💗
She is an amazing person.
His friend also is a good person. he had good people around.
Thank you
Seriously

I am happy for you ,
God bless you.🙏
Kudos Alex
All glory to God!!
Amen and he makes everything beautiful in hi own tym
Hi Lyn please bring family members to tell their story, it will help those having a friend or damily member with a similar problem, social support is really key in managing alcohol dependency.
Thanks Chris. I know how alcohol addiction can ruin someone’s life. I’ve been sober 3 years now. Everyday is a struggle but it gets better. Let that pain be motivation to not go back. God bless you. Much love from 🇺🇸
We are so proud of you Nancy. Deeply rooting for you:)
And we are proud of you
@@LynnNgugi thanks Lynn❤️
I like that he could shared his story and shed tears that's powerful!
My brother also does not drink by GOD'S grace.
Until you are tired of your own situation, no amount of external support will help you. It's quite sad but very true
Exactly! There gets a point where one gets to and decides enough is enough!
Haki Jemo is such jewel inform of a friend, I have watched you guys from campus being buddies and I can't believe you are still together 👏👏👏 happy to see you smile Chris May the Lord restore your lost years you are going far. To your family members May the Lord bless them for always standing with you regardless.
Waaah God is faithful.
Congratulations you are an asset to this society.
Finally here we are....I have been waiting for this episode since Wednesday and it seemed like ages.....good work Lynn Nakupenda mammy
Me too
@@kaninikivula9191 it was such an inspirational story....God bless this Saul...,.
Me too...
I have been crying all through watching this part 2 of it. My take home is support is key. For the siz,Jymo and his entire family God bless you. When one comes back to the Lord there's a huge celebration in heaven.
Thanks Lynn for bringing this part 2 of it ❤️
This has made me have more empathy for alcoholics. They seem to suffer so much during this period in their lives. Congratulations for overcoming this demon of addiction.
Sofia,understand this is illnesses just like cancer or AIDS!!!!I knew coming to the comment sections I will find Christians
Anyone struggling with alcoholism or have someone close to them going through this human killer alcohol..,may God of heaven answer your prayers.
Amen 😭😭😭
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Chris, I feel you,it's not an easy journey but it's doable.Keep praying and being sober and you will make it.
Am on my 17th year .... alcohol free, God being your helper you will make it.
My uncle who’s the brightest among my mother’s brothers has the exact life. Always getting jobs in the media industry in Marsabit county. The minute he gets paid he disappears. Even the church in Chalbi are always supportive of him. The sad bit is we grew up with him staying with us in south b doing Mass Communication. He was our tutor. He inspired us so much. Now he’s past 50, we’ve kind of accepted him the way he is 😪 alcoholism up close is heartbreaking
Lol 😂 ati Kenya inakuwanga hivi. As a writer, am grateful to the guy who supported you.
He is a friend for keeps. Glad you overcame
If you've never touched alcohol or drugs, please do not try to 'experiment' with either. It's not worth it.
Exactly that’s what I do say. If u have never don’t dare
I have always wondered. What is the role of the breweries, distilleries in rehabilitating the people who have been damaged by their products. Are there rehabs run or managed or financed by alcohol companies or their role ends when one buys a beer🍺? Alcohol Rehab should be free. Parents or families shouldn't be struggling to treat their sons and daughters while gov't enjoyed the taxes, and company shareholders enjoyed dividends at the cost of loss of lives.
They could care less.. To them it's all about business. What a shame!
I think if we could have a 3rd eye...we will realize that there supernatural masters we must serve either evil or bad master.Its just that personal realization whom ,where,how,when to serve.After all money is a common master,we all need money but we also need common sense.
This should be on the news
Who cares@God only
That's what taxes should do.
Listening to all the feedback, it's just overwhelming and we need to do so much to help out. Talking to most guys, i feel like there's so much we're bottling up as individuals and families.. let's learn to open up more and more and share however difficult it might be. Nothing inspires me like listening to someone who's going through what i did and seeing them start making those small steps towards the light. this was an eye-opening experience. Thanks Lynn again and all of you guys who have reached out. God bless you and give you strength to love us. 🙏
Hello christ am sarah ..a graduate in bed english literature.kindly have alot of interest in online writing ..would like to do it as a side hustle ..how do I start
Personal I don't go home not bcuz I think me ,but I,m the only girl in my mum's house born with only brotherd who are worse than this guy ,Its hurts me to just look at mum ,& personal I don't have job to help one of my brothers
Thank you for sharing your journey 🙏
Thanks LYNN for the show.
Chris you really give me hope in life.
Today is my 5th day sober hoping to maintain this in the rest of my life (in God's power). Thanks again and God bless you all.
You’ll make it Steve! May God’s power and strength be with you. I wish there’s a way you can connect with Chris!
Wishing you all the very best Steve! May God be with you and please don’t give up on yourself.
I have just seen this now Steve..am in prayer with you..kindly keepoff the wrong company stick to your decision n God will see through
Waw this very courageous Chris mmay God bless you and your family.may God help all the people who are struggling with alcoholic.
Please 🙏 May God hear your prayers. May you continue being sober. Mungu please we plead with you, help this man confessing he want to continue being sober. Hear the prayer 🙏 🙌
Chris thanks for sharing your story. You have changed me. I got tired of my only brother. My only sibling. He keeps crying saying that if we had our mom, he would have someone who supports him. He feels me and his wife are against him. We got tired of supporting him. Your sister behavior has challenged me to go back and hold my brothers hand. Thanks again for sharing your story. Lynn thanks for giving him a platform. This was for me.
As a spouse of an addict, do not hold hand unless they have decided to change. You will become depressed and frustrated.
I'm 22yrs and since I was born I've never seen my dad sober. Your story gives me hope
The father's hug gave Chris a lot of hope and strength
Thank you Lynn and your amazing guest I have been inspired.My large nuclear and extended family have experienced this first hand. I saw my very brightest uncle who did Aeronautical Engineering get destroyed by alcohol, if you met him today you wouldn't tell he got a scholarship early 90s to go to France to study that course. Sometimes he comes to visit us at home the only thing that differentiates him with the other alcoholics from my village is his English when he speaks ..I will watch this with him I hope he can get inspired too. I will reach out to Chris too.
Gosh that's painful but I hope we can heal our future generations. Much love to your uncle.
When Lyn talks of stories that have the power to impact this is one of them. Chris you may not even fully comprehend how important it is for you to tell this story and most importantly how impactful this is to both the alcohics and the families.God bless you
Thank you so much Rafiki for watching:)
Wow! Thank you Chris for sharing. It is great to know that we still have people like Jamo... I have learned a lot and I believe going forward I will be more accommodating.
Part one made me cry at how extended family can rejoice at someone's downfall kwanza if you have a degree and they don't
Chris, that was quite a journey, you even inspired your own family members to quit alcohol, Jaymo cate and family you are true pillars, All the best
oh
Chris' sister Cate played a huge role towards his recovery. God bless her. When things get tough always reach out to someone. Let us offer the crying shoulder and love our siblings and friends when they are struggling with matters life. You may just save a life by offering a listening ear. As always thanks a lot Lynn for this story...and a big thank you to Chris for sharing his story. It has such a beautiful end. NEVER GIVE UP.
Thanks so much, we give all glory and honour to the Almighty God, every time I look at him I see what God can do..
My eyes behave, must you 😭
Never again will I harass my big brother for his alcoholism. I now know better, am ashamed 😔
I wish my brothers would also change. It's so sad when people value alcohol
Just seeing a man break down by the fact that family accepted him back stood with him even when he was lost takes us back to "empathy" 🥳
Me too!! I’ve really cried 😭😭
Jaymo, Mrs. Chris, Sister ya Chris and the folks. Maze you are the golden linings in his story. I pray that your bros too get out and this generational battles ends with you and dries up completely in your family
Yeah Amen
I have cried so hard, so hard. Am in pain with wounds of my brother who lost the fight in 2020 through Alcohol.....Am a mess right now with with my nose and tears....Lord! Glory for this soul.
I'm so sorry for your loss🥺 May you and your family receive healing and comfort and peace that only the Holy Spirit can give. And may He turn that pain into purpose. Hugs❤️💕
May God’s peace and comfort be with you!
@@joannemuturi_purposecultivator pole sista
Alcohol destroys people's life it's almost in every family..I'm happy for you Chris hope you continue with your life n remain sober forever.
I just cried 😢. This is inspiring especially when you have a supportive family and more so a sister like Cate.
Chris story is a replica of my brother,he scored A- and sunk into alcohol.he dropped of university in 3rd year. I still have hope one day God will see him through.its Never late.🙏🙏
Yeah continue trusting God...He will never give up on us....if He did it for Chris, He will do it for your brother 🙏🙏🙏
He sure will do it for your brothers,keep hope alive.
Hey Christine,it shall be well
May God intervene too. Ata mm it's a copy paste of my bros life
Continue trusting God, my small bro was a serious alcoholism, he's a trained physiotherapist, graduated in 2016 at some point we felt disappointed with him, bt Feb 2021 he stopped drinking ad in July God blessed him with a job, l always look at him ad say with God everything is possible, in my prayers will pray for your brother, continue loving ad talking to him
May the Lord who delivered Chris deliver my dad from alcoholism.... It's more than 25years since he started drinking. I miss the sober him.
I lost my nephew to depression.Am really crying.I wish I knew what he was going through.Am sorry.
Sorry Hellen,all will be well-talk to someone please
Sorry Hellen,all will be well-talk to someone please
Finally i waited for almost 10 years for part two .i was begging to get mad at lynn for leaping is forever ..am happy we are here😍😍
Understanding every bit of it. Was there too and pombe ya msichana ni mbaya zaidi. Am glad I overcame. Am from Karatina n I know the dude Good job Lynn and am happy for him.
Lynn if possible let Chris' Sister come in the show.We want to see and celebrate her.Her support is on another level
And James too
I'm not crying Miss Lyn,, you are🥺
Caps off for the Family and friends who stood with him to the latter.
Congrats Mr.Chris, I'm proud of you!
Glory to God.
Its my hope that this episode will help turn the lives of many struggling with addiction..
I can definitely relate. It took me to ICU to know that I was killing myself. Two years plus now sober. Being able to sleep deeply not alcohol induced and waking up clear minded is a miracle each day. Looking to complete my law degree in September this year. Alcoholism is a sickness indeed
And that pain in the stomach, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy
Hugs.
Congrats...
Thanks Lynn for this episode and Chrispus for his struggle is a gift to all those going through alcoholism. Be blessed and thanks for your precious life that God had a plan.
AM 30 and have never taken alcohol. And listening to such people makes me never want to.
You are not missing anything, the taste is horrible in my opinion.
@@hannahw4769 I swear I will never. That has always been my stand. No matter what.
@@jamesmwangiwangui4722 wooow am really encouraged by this am 24 2yrs now and I believe I'll stop forever coz it almost ruined me
one of the best alcohol recovery stories. Thank you Lynn. Please interview more women in recovery to encourage women alcoholics out here.
Love turns all bad into good. The love he got from his parents, cate, brothers and especially jaymo who is the most true friend turned his story around.
Huts off for them.👏👏👏👏
Look at how happy he is now...
Thanks so much for another amazing interview. My brother has struggled with alcoholism for more than 40 years, but he's still loved by all of us. We know he's a good person deep inside and pray that one day he'll be free of his addiction 🙏
Alcohol ruined my life within a span a years but I thank God I changed and I don't drink now and it's ruined my relationship with my wife ,still married but unhappy. Just there because my wife has never forget and forgiven me.
Tesh,i thank God for you.ata wife atakusahea n Life goes on.i that wish my husband will stop today i would forgive him n Love him sana.don't give up yatakuja kupita
When family members are understanding its easier i went through this same journey with my bro n when i look back i do not regret a thing.God is faithful
Wewe Lynn karibu tutume wazee wakutafute for part 2 anyway we are glad its finally here tuede kazi
Aki poleni sana my people:)
When Lynn asked,what is one thing you are proud of right now? He first smiled and says meeting my responsibilities💪💪💪
Powerful!! He’s done well!
We need more Kate and Jaymos in our lives, their love surpassed everything .
Good job Lynn! congrats Chris. Kate and family- thanks for not giving up on Chris
I wish Kate can come to the show and encourage or tell us how to go about it… Am a sister to an alcoholic and it’s tough 🥲
The conversation was owesome. Apparently ,we are all struggling with our own little demons...
We have a drinking problem as a society. I see young people glorify the drinking culture, they have no idea what awaits them at the end of the road. Personally I cannot sell alcohol to make a living. I am not judging anyone. My family has suffered in the hands of alcohol, it's really poison.
What do.you.mean? Making a true judgment is right..alcohol is wrong..no.matter.what..alcohol intake opens demonic/evil doors..its just wrong..and it's a matter of time it catches up with someone..:(.I don't like to.mess with it at all.
I can relate to the story. I battled that for 10 years. I thank God its been five years free of Alcohol. Its a very slippery road. Any one who gets through alive is always thankful to God. Following You from Kachmega
Ur strong keep going
Thank God for preserving you! Jeremiah 29:11
To see a man cry eish!! This man went through a lot. God you’re so good, Indeed your time is the best. It may seem like forever, but God’s time is the best. May God come through for anyone going through any kind of addiction, it is not easy. As a society, let’s help such people than judge them and treat them bad.
Can't wait for the day my hubby will over dis alcoholism monster😥😥😥
@@raelwangari6635 may God come through for you!
@@joannemuturi_purposecultivatoramen🙏
@@raelwangari6635 same here, it's 2months nnow and through this Lynn's page. Also Terence's story that has helped. I didn't give him a target... It's a day at a time... Am praying for him and hoping the monster is gone forever.
@@mercysalen89 aki..in his own time he shall make things beautiful ...mine as already been diagnosed with liver hepatic steatosis but he can't let go the bottle over his health..it stressing en depressing...but the grace of the lord is enough 😔😔
Ihave hope for my brother, he hasn't reach this stage, today topic is is important, thanks lynn for your shows, it helps
I have learnt a very big lesson, now I know how to treat my son right it has been a struggle, to be honest majority of us don't know how to treat them and it drain us especially when they start selling stuff from the house. Lynn you are the best may God reward you
Lynn , i will never judge a drunkerd again. What a story. ...
In this show we cry, we scream, we laugh but still feel safe. No apology for crying. That is one powerful statement. Thank you Chris for crying, for many do not allow ourselves to cry. We as society need to celebrate one step foward, and forget the 2 backwards. Reminds me of Grace that gives us what we do not deserve, but are still worthy. Im so blessed with this show. We say Kudos to Lynn, your amazing team and Chris and your family. I want to meet Jamo and your sister. They were your rock which we all need in life. Asante sana Lynn..God bless. We have laughed and cried with Chris
They need empathy😢🤗💕 not sympathy
This story hits so close to home.
It's a major problem in every homestead,I have seen great families who have separated due to alcoholism
Thumbs-up to cate for always believing in her brother
What a lesson, may God walk with you in your new journey, congrats on the 5 years journey,, surely you are going far,
That's a powerful interview. Thank you Lynn Ngugi, and Chris you are amazing, couldn't believe that you did it all alone without Rehab, God loves you.Keep up🙏
This is story of my bro Joshua kabisa, unfortunately he succumbed to alcohol,
This story just hit home for me... my brother went thru the same journey as Chris until when he took his life thru drinking pesticide. Addiction of any kind is a disease and we should embrace, help and encourage the addicts. It's not an easy task to watch your loved one wither away from substance abuse. Let's normalize speaking up and acknowledging addiction affecting our families. How Chris I'm proud of you for turning your life and fighting against all the odds and urges . You are a hero in my eyes.
Got emotional...thanks for sharing your story Chris.I believe its gonna change somebody's life... it's possible .. Good work lynn
We are so proud of Chris:)
@@LynnNgugi absolutely! I’ve never cried like that! I have never felt so much empathy for someone!
Wow Chris thank you for Sharing your story. I have learnt alot am .
Thanks to your friend Jamo. God bless him for not giving up on you. And everyone who supported you.
Your sis mom and entire
@ Lynn this is one of the best episodes 💕💕. Definitely someone's life will be transformed
I have been now sober for 7month and I got saved and now am changed person. God rescued me.
Chris you are a great story teller. Interesting story. Continue encouraging people with these kind of struggles to seek help. Blessings.
Wow unless you realise what is eating you up its hard for you to take control of yourself well done Chris hold on tight and never look back 👏👏
He was my English teacher congratulations on your transformation
Wow pole brother I can relate...I have been bound by those chains since I was 17 and am 40 now...my family ostracized me and I had no support but God only, ruined my credit...house was always dirty...completely unable to connect with anyone or feel anything...I was nothing but a stone with no feelings but one day I told Jesus please save me and I stopped for a month then my mom died I drunk for two days and got very sick after..I decided nope never again...I did it without anyone's help but God and Jesus...right now I forgive my family but I don't want them in my life...now it's all about me and my son
Congratulations for finding your peace. Alcoholism is really stressful and a huge burden, wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Chris, the biggest point of your story is whoever calls on the lord shall be saved. Your testimony is that the day you stopped alcohol you called on God alone in your house. You had tried everything else and it did not work. Tell them to call on Jesus! He's the one who breaks addictions!!!
Amen amen 🙏🏾 this man’s story will change so many lives plus Lynn’s empathetic stance!
Chris, you have a good sense of humour. GOD has done it again with you. Today you are an inspiration.
Chris' story is so touching.....I have cried with him and almost stood in his boots.... well done Chris 👏👏👏
Thank you to all the strong people (family and friends) who stood with Chris 🌹🌹🌹
Lynn you are so special. 💝💝💝
Thanks for sharing your life with us and yes! Vulnerability is not a weakness.
Am alcoholic for more than 8 years now, hope i will tell my story one day after listen to Chris
You will in Jesus name
Very soon dear
Yes you can..
You will ❤️❤️
Hugs 🤗❤️ have faith and you will over come it
Her sister and the whole family were very supportive and when Chris decided to change and stop alcohol that was the best that happened to his life,Chris is brilliant and God bless you and be with you always for sharing I have learnt alot. Keep going Lynn ngugi good content.
Glory to God. Wish you the best Chris. A really inspiring story. I had a very sharp brother who got into alcoholism just after finishing form 4 waiting to join campus. He got into those dens and his life wasn't the same again. My parents did everything they could( from police to the chief and wazees) to bring him back home and to his family, but he would still go back. Finally after many years, my bro came back home sick, was taken to hospital and he died days after. We miss him dearly. Francis continue resting in peace.
Pole sana for your loss Jayne Njenga
May His Soul Rest In Peace
@@martharinebiseko1457 Amen. Thanks
Chris naumefanya tulie wewe🥺🥺😂😂, bt the ending was sooo beautiful💃💃🔥. Lynn yua such a swit soul aki. Tunakupenda sana LN. Chris story was so inspirational, yaani 17yrs drinking bt see God now. He looks so cute n husband material👏👏👏👏.
You're such a team with Edwin and may Almighty God continue to guide and bless you 🙏
I haven't cried like that on a show......wueeeh what a story!! May God help us to realise the importance of supporting our loved ones who are going through this struggle. Chris, you are a fighter and a victor.
Chris and L thank you both for this show, it is not just emotional but also very educative. Chris is extremely smart, I'm glad we're all tapping into his sober brain now, thank you for sharing with us your journey with alcoholism. I would like to add that alcoholics/alcoholism is a continuum, whoever consumes it is at one point of the continuum - so, let's not judge those who we think are on the extreme right end.
What a story ..am encouraged. may it touch many. blessings Chris.
Any Rehab without family support is a futile effort. I never went to any Rehab. Its my siblings love that lifted me from that hell hole.
It’s so good you got out of that situation.
Chris i can relate your interview to many people i know but i thank God you are out of that urge of alcohol and you are reformed to God be the glory 🤗🙏.
Mum's are great they are always there for there's kids may God bless her together with your entire family for being there for you and friends as well.
In Central Kenya we're losing a generation to alcohol. In coastal towns, all manner of drugs. In Lamu, I estimate ~ 60% of the young men are zombies. Mhenga mmoja almaarufu _Richie Spice_ aliuliza "Who's gonna ease the pain?"
I'm now seeing a trend in major Kenyan towns/cities where alcohol is brought closer to the people -- alcohol-only mini kiosks within residential estates, sort of like the liquor stores in US ghettos. I've not against moderate drinking, but I feel that we celebrate alcohol a bit too much in Kenya
The love of family 😍. Hats off to them, especially Cate
This story has changed my life for GOOD,Thank you so much Lyn,Be blessed
Part II is finally here. I am so glad he had such a supportive family, especially his sister Kate and his friend Jaymo. We serve a God of second chances, kudos Chris!
We've really waited for this episode!!! Chris you are a hero,l personally admire you. May God continue opening great doors for you as you touch many for God's glory.
Avoid hard drinks like a praque, they are so addictive even the expensive ones.
Eat well drink 2 beers go home
Am happy for him he was able to call it quits...Its never easy
Lynn thank you for airing this story. Now I understand how alcoholism can be a setback to most people. Am glad Chris is clean now. Can we have Kate his sister tell her story too?? She is such a pillar
I've cried so much with you guys and I thank God for Chris
This is an amazing story. Thank you for sharing. LNS, thank you for the providing the platform for such stories. You're changing society. May God bless you.
Congratulations Chris on your sobriety. This has been the most interesting and informative guest Lynn ameleta....Lynn,please bring more male guests.
Was waiting for part two eagerly..So so emotional especially the part he took that pesticide 😢😢😢.Am so glad it was a story with a happy ending.Thank u @Lynn i cried along with u
