Love this interview. I have battled with addiction to drink and drugs for over 25 years. Im now about 14 months clean and sober. Up until I watched this video, I never considered myself an alcoholic. I thought of myself as a 'binge drinker'. But hearing the way tubes described an alcoholic, made me realise thats exactly what I was. Someone who couldn't control alcohol or deal with lifee without getting absolutely hammered, Thanks guys.

Tubes is genuinely one of the nicest people in the world. You can tell he’ll always stop for photos and be polite to anyone who comes up to him.

This is great! Tubes and smithy thank you! Pete had a hand to play in me getting sober in the early days of golf life and helped motivate me to keep clean. That's the booze, the drugs and the gambling and even smoking been knocked on the head. I don't count the days because I use to get obsessed with that but it's been a while now cheers lads

A great interview and refreshing to hear Tubes honesty. My brother gave up drinking 14 years ago for similar reasons and says it’s the biggest con in the world. Good luck to you both!

Not one to normally comment on videos but what amazing honesty from Tubes and Smithy. I could relate to a lot of the themes spoken about and it’s so important that we have conversations like these. Props to you both.

What a legend,and Tubes if you see this,Golf Life is without doubt the best KZread Golf channel out there mate.

Quit the drink when my youngest was born, best decision i ever made. Now im a grandad, it's been a few years.

I don't like Golf at all, but have wasted many hours in the last week watching Golf Life because I saw Tubes & co on Stephen Hendry's channel.......it's compulsive viewing and has made me fancy a game of Golf! What a bloke Tubes is....didn't know any of the things he's talked about in this interview. Stay strong mate!!!

Tubes is a legend we all watched him on Soccer AM and probably thought the same thing just a lad having a good time only to realise he had a problem and the troubles he's had. Love his honest and candid view on his life so pleased he's in a better place in his life now as we may not have had Golf Life so Tubes you golf life legend . Hats off to you mate 👏

Love the honesty and maturity here. Men especially need to be more honest with their addictions. The honesty is so key in your journey of recovery

It’s scary how much I can relate to this he could quite literally be talking about me thankfully like Tubes I’ve given up

Well done tubes mate, brilliant listen could relate to lots of characteristics with my own addiction struggles.

I'm currently drinking 2 litres of rum or vodka a day. I'm lost and broken. I'm stuck between worlds. If anyone knows what i mean by that i truly wish you well and i hope you find the right world by choice not by substance abuse. ❤

I feel you, I’m in the same boat but it won’t change anything just dull the pain. You need to break the cycle and it’s easier said than done but it’s for the best. I’m not gonna preach to you, just know you have people who have your back!! Even if you don’t know them.

Brilliant and relatable in some ways. Big up the Golf Life Legends.

Hes actually a fantastic footballer is tubes real skill and ability

Thanks very much for your honesty and integrity tubes, that's just what I needed to hear today. Inspiring stuff keep going mate. Love the channel and the golf stuff thanks mate.

Legend! Appreciate the openness to talk about this

These podcasts deserve more attention.

Thanks for such an honest interview Pete.. really enjoyable and ATB mate.

Love that man. Great interview Smithy. COYS

Brilliant Pete, Golf life is a stable of my life now aswell great content and my mate Rob Rock been on aswell 💪

That is so heartfelt 😢

Such a powerful interview

Great cast keep going tubes in your recovery 👍

Love what he said on the back end of this about loving golf but not watching it. My mate got me into golf about a year ago but for the life of me I just can't sit still and watch it. I'l watch highlights etc but for me I just want to be either on the range or on the course.

Such a legend! Not just of the golf life variety!

Great honest interview, interesting and revealing 😮

I drink 6 nights out of 7. Every morning I wake up and hate my self, n think ‘not tonight’. I go through the day not even thinking about having a drink. Yet I find myself drinking alone in the kitchen watching KZread every night

Your not on your own, you would be surprised how many people are in your same position

big up tubes respect up the golf life

See I'm not an alcoholic, but I have this weird habit of binging three or four days of the week and have done for like 15 years. However as I get older I realise that after I stop drinking it sends me into these weird few days where I feel depressed. That never used to happen to me when I was in my teens and 20s.... But it is like I cannot handle doing it any more and having the functioning energy. So I'm trying to stop drinking, but it's something I enjoy doing and I wish I could be one of these people that has a pint and that is it, but it always leads to 12 pints and passed out. The only good thing is I can just not drink if I want to, I have no addiction to it so I haven't had a drink in a week and I'm not craving it... Only when I have one and then I have to get wasted.

Loved that. I only encountered Tubes through Golf Life (and I don’t care for golf) but found his positivity engaging - had no idea he wasn’t just a random golf nut as I never watched Soccer AM. I have some of his alcohol traits so can connect with quite a bit of this but it’s a great example of how happy post booze people can be (heart attack aside!)

So scary how it is relatable tubes is legend

Tubes talking facts. Have to respect him.

👏👏👏

STAND

We’ll done tubes keep up the good work bro I’ve been in a similar situation with drink and drugs but I’m ploughing on,you might have lost 10/15 year but the next 15 are looking good ❤

im 10 years clean 14 hc , i dont need AA lol i just don’t take the first drink, literally step one, i started substance abuse around 9 , was expelled from school, in trouble with the law , and went to rehab when i was 38, been clean since then, last 10 years struggled with gambling, and 2 weeks ago i was diagnosed with autism , i feel a little bit like i was failed by the system but hay hoe lets see what the future brings, i feel exactly what you where describing , it sounds like you are both on the spectrum maybe adhd too

Brilliant interview. To those e people sharing that they are in a bad way right now. Please hear this and know that it doesn’t have to be this way. It can be better.

Nothing wrong with wearing a nappy Tubes

Serious balls going to Turkey and asking for a Joleon Lescott 👏 ✌ 👏

Superb 👍

Playing foxhills tomorrow great course golf also saved my life tubes I’m now 3 and half years clean and sober 🩵🙏✌️⛳️
