Back when EastEnders was at its best with magnificent plots, storylines, actors/actresses and scenes, such as Ronnie's baby-swap story, Lola's custody fight for Lexi story, Lucy's murder story and of course Lauren's alcoholic story.
BillyBoy92 so ur telling me I wouldn’t notice if I was drinking straight paint thinner when I thought it was vodka (also why do u know what paint thinner tastes like!?)
Rudie A102 true. it’s not exactly from opiate withdrawal, it happens mostly from dehydration. even then it is less common than death from alcohol withdrawal. i hate when her mom says “she’s not shaking, she’s not sweating so it’s working” while she’s got a water bottle in her hand. 😞 mum should’ve checked it
It’s heartbreaking watching this. She is such a good actress. I feel for the whole family and everyone involved. For me the telling line is “I will cut down. Just not today.”
Sorry but how does Lucy not feel at all bad about this? She started it by spiking her drink and she just takes the mick instead of actually helping her. Weren't they like best friends or something?
@@lissiaa1869 ok I understand why she was upset and she has every right to be. But still! She spiked her drink and then didn't do anything helpful when Lauren had/has a serious problem! That's not right!
eve olivia it started when Tanya had cancer and made Lauren keep it a secret. She was stressed out and drank and then when everyone found it max took over from her and she felt sidelined
A relatable heartbreaking storyline. The pain of withdrawal from alcohol makes a hangover a walk-in the park. Seizures hallucinations nausea sweating shaking heart racing depressing painful Agony. Well done #jacquelineJossa
I’m glad they covered this storyline, my mum had issues with alcohol in the past and has recently been discharged from hospital after having a seizure at work, which they believe was alcohol related. You can’t just stop it, you have to reduce it slowly, it’s a real illness which needs to be taken seriously
I would just like to say that anyone struggling with addiction definitely doesn't define them! I hope that anyone reading this who is struggling manages to get the love, support and help that they need. We've all made mistakes in our lives and sure as hell we might make the same ones but that's doesn't mean that you can't come out the other end and live a healthy and fulfilling life! ♥️♥️♥️
as an alcoholic i can safely say you can't know if theres vodka in something. you have your suspicions but when i drank a double vodka lemonade i couldn't tell the difference between that and a lemonade :)
the way she chugged the vodka when i can’t even take a shot of it without vomiting. Addiction looks like it’s the most helpless and painful thing someone and a family can face
well yh 1 disownment being the black sheep and everyone who should love u appear to not understand anything u think or feel and call u paraniod is tragic . tanya comparing lauren to abby when she was at her worst point in the disease just the worst thing ever to do and being so selfish not to put her daughter first and making her keep tanyas cancer to herself if i were lauren i would have done the same...poor girl.
my mum recently died from liver failure from drinking. she was only 40. this is very reliable to what she was going through. Although she was very good at hiding it so no one knew she drank as much as she did.
Everybody saying "she didn't taste the vodka?!?!?!" dont seem to understand that once you get a tolerance you kinda ignore the taste. Once you're addicted to booze you dont notice a double vodka, if anything your body ignores the odd flavour so it can have what craves. There's alcoholics in my family and it's a dreadful thing to see somebody battle.
Definitely. Im not an alcoholic but ive drunk my fair share. And vodka/gin is hard for me to detect when mixed with juice or soda lol im not surpised lauren as an alcoholic didnt taste the difference
I don’t think it something that’s completely synonymous with alcoholism. Because as a big vodka drinker myself if I mix it with anything I can’t taste it. Shows how hard it must be for people who are alcoholics to over come it when alcohols can be made to taste like juice.
Yes it’s a very relatable storyline and yes that’s probably my favourite scene. There’s also a good scene I missed out where Cora asks her why she’s so unhappy in the laundrette and Lauren’s just like “I dunno.”
If you’ve been through addiction at a young age you know how accurate this is. Even if your a good person you don’t care as much about who you hurt as long as you get that next fix. It’s hard to understand unless you’ve walked in those shoes.
I'm watching this while having a drink. I'm a heavy weight and I know when enough is enough. The problem with Lauren is that she's a lightweight and doesn't know when to stop.
the "have you been drinking" from her mum is exactly how my mum used to ask me back in the days, and I'm Brazilian. Idk this soap opera, but I appreciate the portrait, very truthfull.
55 days sober today. My 9th attemp at sobriety. Longest I made was 32 days. The withdrawals were worse than watching my moms ex come off heroin. Worse than my codeine withdrawal also. Alcohol withdrawal almost killed me several times. I wouldn't wish it on anybody
You can do it I helped someone very close to me get sober it was the worst thing ever cause this person is someone very close to me but they have now been sober for 11 months
It's 2 years later porsha, how have you been doing? Iv withdrawn from oxycontins and tromadol and codeines many times over the last 13 years so I know how you felt but iv not had a problem with alcohol so I do hope your still sober and doing well xx
Around the time this storyline was going on, I was hanging with a group that was bang on the booze & gear daily. After coming home from a 3 day bender one evening my dad was watching Eastenders & I sat down off my nut. It was the episode where Lauren turned yellow from alcohol poisoning and my dad said “I know what you’re out doing. Be careful or you will end up like that.” And it planted a seed in my mind and I hung out with the crowd I was with less and less after that. Bravo to Jaqueline Jossa & Eastenders for portraying something so powerful it pierced my soul.
I'm here because I have been watching too many I'm a celeb clips and TH-cam took that as a challenge to make me get pulled into a whirlpool of eastender videos 😂😂
Twice in my life I've had a phase where I was only happy with a drink in my hand. Never got this bad, but I'm glad to have calmed down as I lost three family members to alcoholism. Very rare that I have any now and that's stuck for five years :)
Stage three liver failure hit me due to drink and drugs at 25 years old. No one believes me because it managed to repair and try hard to live a sober life....sometimes I miss it all but then I remember how quick and silently your liver dies.
@missy boo. Drugs are worse than booze!? Grow the fuck up. Not all drugs are evil. I'd rather a room full of stoners than a room full of alkies. The whole "drugs are bad mkay" thing is stupid. How many die from alcohol every year? How many people are addicted to alcohol? How many lives does this legal substance take each year? A lot more than a joint or some shrooms. Sure Coke, meth, heroin etc are fucking dangerous but so is the vodka/whiskey/gin/beer sat in most people's houses.
No I won't calm down. The amount of people who think booze is an acceptable addiction is crazy, I have to see the mess that alcohol causes everyday in my job. Guess how many drunk injured people I will see this weekend.....I wouldn't be surprised if it nears the thousand mark....and I don't not work in a pub!
I see a few comments saying that it's Lucy's fault that Lauren developed a drinking problem because she added a double vodka to her lemonade. Um, that's not how alcoholism works. You don't just have one hard drink and then go "Whoops, I'm an alcoholic now!" Drinking problems don't happen overnight, they develop over time.
Yeah and besides she was like 18, she had probably been drunk many times before, it just so happened that around the time Lucy spiked her drink, she began to get addicted.
This storyline happens to over billion people around world and this to see it hard but goes to.shiw the struggle goes to show how low you go and my friends had these problems and my brother and I my life hasn't been great but here I stand and here they stand you against the world your friend with drink at first your rivals to the last and here it is and here we are
Tuts TheCat nah, double vodka with lemonade just tastes of lemonade to me, if it’s mixed with coke then you can taste it. Depends what it’s mixed with and how much soft drink is in it
Depending on the sweetness of the lemonade, the amount of lemonade, and your own personal tolerance to pouring your own super strong drinks at home, it can be hard to taste.
Some scenes are funny, yes. But when she turned up at Abi's party yellow in the face with her liver damaged was quite harrowing. She's so young to have nearly died from her alcoholism. But, in true Eastenders style they had to have her relapse at some point.
I've had to witness this first hand, lost my partner of 2 years its so hard to break the cycle, jst stopping isn't an option slowly reducing an maybe a detox facility, my partner did 3 and she fought incredibly hard to stay away from the drink, but it's not so easy when you've dealt with trauma all your life, an you drink to hide the pain I jst wish I could of done more 😞💔

Wendy Combe everyone struggles with things I’m not ashamed of my past at all if I’m honest 😅made me who I am today and I’m god dam proud of myself
I'm a fairly young acholic, I can vouch for that, played perfectly for such her young age too
Jack D Crewe she should increase her filmography
It was Lucy’s fault in the first place that she got drunk.. because she put vodka in her drink without telling her😩
I think she started when Tanya had cancer and Tanya didn’t want her to share it
Yeah, um...that's not how alcoholism works.
Lucy was always sly like that💯

Alcohol is the only withdrawal that can kill you
That’s not true, there are many cases in which victims have died from an opiate withdrawal. All very sad!

How could Lauren not know there was vodka in there 🤔
Because people don't. You MIND in your taste not your mouth. Therefore she thought she was just drinking Lemonade!
You don’t taste it nor smell it

@@Emily-bd5rb She probably tasted it but didn't give a shit.
Depending on the sweetness of the lemonade, the amount of lemonade, and your own personal tolerance to pouring your own super strong drinks at home, it can be hard to taste.
Emily maybe some drinks heighten the tastes of alcohol and some conceal it. Like you said with coke you can tase it.
All I’m thinking is “who tf has a lock on the kitchen door”
Lmao the way they played ‘ single ladies ‘ by Beyoncé when she got dumped 🤣creative as hell
Some scenes are funny, yes. But when she turned up at Abi's party yellow in the face with her liver damaged was quite harrowing. She's so young to have nearly died from her alcoholism. But, in true Eastenders style they had to have her relapse at some point.
That's real life relapses are given, it's not just an EastEnders story life
omg i have a crush on jacqueline and this isn't real but it breaks my heart🤧i'm emotionally attached to her and she is such a good actress😻😻
Wow. What a great actress and well done storyline.
The last thing to do is leave alcohol in the house, or at least lock it up lol😕

Guess why she was drinking the water so fast cuz it was vodka
This is soo sad I remember watching this on tv
These episodes and storylines for Lauren were epic so glad she's coming back in the square
I've had to witness this first hand, lost my partner of 2 years its so hard to break the cycle, jst stopping isn't an option slowly reducing an maybe a detox facility, my partner did 3 and she fought incredibly hard to stay away from the drink, but it's not so easy when you've dealt with trauma all your life, an you drink to hide the pain I jst wish I could of done more 😞💔
Why does it keep going silent ?

I'm watching this whilst guzzling down wine.

“I don’t need you cos I’ve got my family now” isn’t Joey also part of her family? 😂😂😂
So you're telling me at the start, when Lucy asked for a double of vodka in Lauren's lemonade she didnt taste it? Accurate lmao
