You're so out of touch with reality Foster . 90% of kids up and down the country drink with their mates at 14/15 . If you don't you're classed as a weirdo. MAYBE .....MAYBE different now as the kids do drugs much earlier . I grew up in late 90's early 00's as a teenager and drugs were for ''junkies'' and it was how much you could drink . The naviety to say 14/15 year olds dont drink is incredible

Thanks for having me on team , you boys were class💙 and thanks for all the messages from everyone , if you’re struggling with anything , talk people x

I was the same tubes, I'm 25 and two years sober now but for a couple of years I'd have two bottles of wine before I'd even get out of bed and a bottle of vodka and a few beers for the rest of the day. Passing out every couple of hours for an hour or so. Lost everything but in a couple of years my life has done a total 180 and I've never been happier. Stay strong tubesy lad 💪

What an absolute legend! Not many people can talk about their addiction like this! Keep going!!

Absolutely class Ben is so good at talking and asking the real questions. And tubes what a guy been through so much but is still here to help and guide others.

Have such huge respect for anyone who can speak so openly about personal struggles like this. Very hard thing to do, fantastic interview.

Massive respect tubes,biy different but I'm 4 weeks quit gambling and I'm preying this is it now...I'm doing ga and self excluded from everywhere so trying my best. Could listen to your story all day for inspiration

Ben, these podcasts are brilliant keep them up mate, and getting the legend Tubes on the show is amazing, keep it up mate

Great snippet again. Can't wait for the full episode. Tubes class as always talking so honestly about his alcoholism. Fair play to him reaching out to others to help them too. Definitely both your channels up there ony go to KZread watches 👏👏👏

This is legendary in every way. Massive respect to all of you for being so open. Role models 👌🏼

Massive respect for Tubes .. The battle he had with himself .. man we can do anything in the world if we set our minds to it .. wow .. I've been trying to find my own battles at the moment and this video has been inspiring to me .. I'll have a better outlook towards life and turn it around for good

Well done Tubes for overcoming your addiction. A good friend of mine was not so lucky, he didn't survive the heart attack at the age of 30. It's an awful sickness. Wishing you the best

I remember I was with Tubes in 2015 outside Stamford bridge after we won the title against Palace. He was singing and shouting, you could tell he’d been on the piss and we was all loving it but little did I know that he was going through it at the time. Glad to see that he’s overcome his addiction 🙌 Inspirational stuff

I remember reading Keith Chegwins book a couple years ago - again a well known funny guy with a hidden drink problem - reading I felt a huge disappointment and sadness when he said he fell off the wagon. Ultimately, we know what happened to Keith. Im absolutely thrilled that Tubes has come through it a better person - well done Tubes and thanks Ben for a great interview - up the Baggies

Love how open tubes is with his addiction, it’s helped me being more open with my gambling addiction

3 years clean of Gambling and drugs addiction here mate. Hit a low point in my life and was living in a bedsit doing £1k of coke a week and would play poker constantly through the night just for something to do to keep my mind active. Lost Hundreds of thousands on buying the coke and losing. Was horrible. Hope you stick to it mate. Meetings helped me hugely. Good luck on your journey, mate. All my love with you.

Love tubes. Met tubes once at a gig, absolute legend. Completely down to earth normal lad who loves footie.

Really enjoying these podcasts 🔥🔥🔥

Incredibly open of Tubes. You should be proud of yourself to recover from such desperate times

Fair play to tubes you can see he's been very honest with himself to get to where he is now

That was awesome. Cheers lads.

Top class this can’t wait for the full episode

I remember tubes being the heart beat off soccer am back in the days with his skits and he would make everyone laugh. But it shows people fight private battles than no one knows about just to show not everyone lives the perfect life. Please be kind to everyone. Love and respect ❤️

Tubes is the best character soccer am has had

Great honesty. We started drinking at around 13, if my kids had/would do that I’d go mad. And up until 30’s got absolutely smashed. But never alcoholic status despite work being full of alcoholic. Had a mate who literally drank himself to death, liked it too much. Another gave up twenty years ago, and he was a professional alcoholic. Same story about needing a bottle of vodka by his bed. He lost a week and then ten days not knowing what had happened

Hats off to Tubes for sharing his story and helping others

Well done Tube, brave and honest - great watch

25 days until Watford are back in the prem go on Ben ❤️

Love the pod!

It seems clear how important support networks are to help people see where occasions of bad choices or less than ideal choices can become patterns of bad behaviour. Having one too many one too many times is one thing, or one bad financial decision one too many times, but anything more has to be identified before it begins to ruin lives.

Proper scooping man hats off

Ben Foster is the friend every bloke would want. Top man.

Asked a question that I’ve been looking for in this podcast, I’ve been searching and watching tubes alcohol talks just for someone to ask this certain question and find the responses so thank you

Big fan from America 🇺🇸 Los Angeles

Fair play to him for being honest. I clicked on this video and the advert that came up was for Heineken. Sad. We have normalised alcohol addiction in society.

Hi Ben im a fan, i love this channel so much and i always wanted a shirt of yours, i would love to have one so much. Sorry for my bad english love from an italian boy🙌❤️

I think a lot of people drink at 15 Ben tbf, it’s just when people start depending on it is when the issue starts :/

What a bloke 👍🏻

Had a few relatives pass away from alcohol abuse when I was a kid, it’s a very tough and slippery slope and I’m so pleased to see Tubes better again. Great to see a Warwick lad like yourself Ben succeed. All the best from a local lad too 👍🏻👍🏻

Legend Tubes

My dad and step mom was both alcoholics she used to hide alcohol around the house my dad used to make me go try find it so she wouldn’t get violent if she knew I found it she’d say I’ll give you some if you don’t tell ya dad I was about 8 years old grown up around alcohol all my life probably why it’s a big part of my life now.
