I also went to MIT (age 16) became a pilot (age 15) and achieved early success in aviation, youngest Capt in. the airline by 8 years.....but also used alcohol to 'turn off the thinking machine" that drove me nuts even as a young man. I handled my booze without getting into (much) trouble but it was an integral part of my life, would use it to control my sleeping, NEVER drank in the morning or drank vodka....however I finally admitted the dependency and thankfully found AA. Being SMART is not always an asset in recovery...being TEACHABLE is more useful. Its sad to think all the education, blessings of wealthy parents (flying lessons) doesn't make us happy. Recovery helps us enjoy the simple things in life. Buzz is an inspirtion...he didn't need to blow his anonymity it shows me his dedication to the truth and ability to be honest. So PROUD to be in the same club as such a wonderful human.

[@funsun9115]

his humility is bringing me to tears. He's one of the most important men in the history of the world. This really helped with my sobriety. Thank you.

[@billytheweasel]

He tooted his horn a lot but it's his story and he laid the groundwork for it. So, fine by me. He told me that despite all his achievements he didn't feel like he fit in. He's fits in AA like a hand in a glove.

[@SoberJames]

Very well said Michael.

[@kuukivi]

I believe alcohol is a trap. Often the people falling into it are the most ambitious, intelligent and empathic people that somewhere in their earlier life experienced neglect from their parents/family, developing a sense of never being enough, starting then to become confused and helpless in building good, healthy relationships. And those feelings of insecurity, boy, how fast they fly out the window when we grab a bottle. It's just ignorant and unempathetic to say that alcoholics (or other addicts) are selfish, choosing the addiction over them, self-centered or carefree/careless. It may very much seem like only the bottle is what matters to them, but underneath the surface the fact is they thought they could patch up mental problems and pain with liquor and coulnd't find the way out of that tunnel before getting trapped in there. Addicts are like lost souls, ghosts of what they used to be, and the person behind that veil needs to get back on trail.

[@janetsweeney3303]

After listening to a number of the recovery stories from famous and people we consider accomplished, it shows that alcoholism is not selective. I've been sober for 6yrs now,,I didn't follow a program of have assistance, I just felt a fear like no other from looking at what I was doing and it stopped me dead,,and I never took another drink. I believe in many things but none are stronger than a higher power which helped me to stop. 1st and foremost a person has to stop for themselves,,,stopping g for someone else wont do it for you.

[@janetsweeney3303]

I've come back to this to say...when I felt the need to stop...I completely cut out the people I used to drink with, I said I was struggling and could not see or speak to them for the time being, because I associated them with drinking. I could only buy drink from one place where I live, so, I went in there and asked them to refuse to sell me any alcohol, told them why , and they were great,,(i didnt attempt to,,but the safety net was there).... i started walking a different route when out with my dog, I basically changed everything that I used to do. I bought a slate heart and every day I would mark down 1...2...3 and so on as the days mounted up...and I just focused on these things, I did nothing In the way i used to do and saw no one who i used to drink with at all in any way...Its nearly 7yrs now...But the biggest thing i did was ...i was kind to me...i didnt put any guilt on myself for what i had done...i became proud of me , my inner strength to get through it , and i laughed as much as i could...❤❤❤❤❤

Its probably tea but why do you have what looks like beer front and center in your video? Don't you think that's rude and unnecessary?

[@SoberJames]

It is tea, in a mason jar, with ice. You do have a point tho, about it looking like beer. I'll keep that in mind for the future.

If i faked landing on the moon i would have drank too

[@SoberJames]

Your Mom wasn’t faking.

[@GavSmith1888]

Shame he never went to the moon. Must of played a massive part in his alcoholism. God bless him

[@SoberJames]

Your mom went to the moon, last night 🚀

[@susanmargaretwills6432]

"My mother was half SCOTCH"?!!😱Horror!!😱... "Scotch" is WHISKY from Scotland (yes the alcoholic sort) - a native from Scotland is "Scottish" or a "Scot"... Any Scotland-born person takes offence at this mistake

grow up already

[@Hallahanify]

Not a very charismatic guy

[@Innerconversations2024]

One of the main pillars is honesty. Buzz, you did not land on the moon, so your story is a lie.

[@SoberJames]

Your mom’s a liar.

[@yonta123]

This one was boring and just him bragging. Meh.

[@SoberJames]

Yeah, it’s hit or miss with the personalities of alcoholics. I guess that’s why they say focus on principles, not personalities.

[@yonta123]

@@SoberJames very true indeed… i too am flawed so im sure some would have some comments on my personality at times. Love your channel by the way…. Thanks for posting… i listen to these on my runs and i love what you share. So thank you for putting it all out there!

[@SoberJames]

@@yonta123 awe, thank you Tonya. Enjoy your rubbers high, I’m sure you’ve earned it.

[@GregBennett]

Very dull and boring. The guy has had an amazing life but didn't share any of that or any true emotion. I showed this to a treatment center and looking around the room everyone was either miserable or fighting off sleep. You think a guy that spent so much time in the public eye could tell a good story.

[@SoberJames]

That's funny I said that range 4 thing. I have Danny Trejo and Craig T. Nelson on here. They're pretty good.

[@GregBennett]

@@SoberJames I'll check out Danny Trejo for next week. I've heard him tell parts of his story in interviews and it was really good and told well. Thanks!

[@SoberJames]

Thanks Greg! Hey, I stream live videos, Mon-Thursday at noon and 9pmEST, and all past streams are available in my live stream playlist. I also host a 24/7 Discord Recovery Chat room and weekly Zoom meetings here: www.patreon.com/soberjames

[@overtenemy69]

I wonder if buzz admitted the moon landing is fake when he did step5

[@SoberJames]

I wonder what it's like to be so clueless.

[@overtenemy69]

@@SoberJames lol better write that resentment out and call yo sponsor

[@SoberJames]

Lol oh I'm not mad, it's hilarious

[@northernthrifter8817]

That's a good one about the 5th step I mean if he relapses and spills the beans who will believe an alcoholic 🤣
