The story behind the documentary | Matt Willis: Fighting Addiction - BBC

[@jtadwyjgttatwdmj7498]

幸せを与えてくれてありがとう When I was in the orphanage, I used to drown my pain by listening to BUSTED songs until the disc was scratched. The moment I heard their songs, I felt so happy. They are all important songs that are proof of overcoming hardships. Even in difficult situations. It's great that they continue to bring hope and joy to their many fans. The new BUSTED songs I'm listening to now. I am happy to hear their new strength in these songs. I will continue to support them.

Matt and Emma have been very brave for speaking so openly about Matt's addictions. I hope Matt never has a relapse again. I applaud Emma for staying with Matt through his addiction and wish them and their family peace and happiness for the future.

[@phillipbates9587]

Definitely. He is not alone with issues reaching out individually to go through the same problems that need support group

[@michaelodowd4347]

[@TardisMarch]

Such a touching documentary. I wish Matt and Emma all the best in life. they are both amazing people 😊❤

[@Jesusofsuburbia768]

Matt Willis is a great guy 💙

[@janegriffin2646]

Thank you for your brutal honesty, I'm sure you have helped a lot of people, you are enough. You are a brilliant musician Keep safe, . ☯️

[@votepurple]

It’s crazy how things go full circle, from being a child gutted that Matt didn’t show up (he was my favourite) to a Safeway CD signing with whispers it was because he was ‘hungover’, to sitting here as a 31 recovering alcoholic myself, I’m really proud to see him do this and also how far, and how life changing recovery has been in both our lives. If anyone is struggling remember right now you think that you’re losing everything by quitting, but what you can’t see is you’ll be gaining everything. Thousands of people are going what you are going through right now so just take a chance how you are and reach out for help, you won’t be judged and you don’t have to go through it alone anymore.

[@itssamiyoutube]

Left me crying eyes out this documentary i haven't been sleeping few nights constantly playing on my head i played the podcast help me loads.

[@louisebarber2984]

Wishing you, Emma & your family all the peace that recovery brings ❤

[@sleeplessinstockwell]

Jesus. Took me 3 minutes to recognise Matt. He’s changed so much

[@markjacob2386]

I commend Matt for his honesty and having the strength to face his pain, I myself have struggled with addiction for most of my life and afer watching this gives me hope 🙏🏼🥺❤️

[@elainewhitelock5347]

You both have a wonderful relationship. Emma is an angel.

[@felichia808]

Great information. Thank you for sharing this very personal story. 💖

[@A.NOther-i2y]

Amazing Strength and Openness. Ty Matt - it jolted me today on my struggle. My advice to you is keep going - Accept (your) human condition /experience - one life, mind, body etc. Don't chase rainbows on a panacea. Addictive people can't shake it. No silver bullet. Live well within your recovery for life.

[@debblackmore7460]

[@ttp436]

Seems like a good documentary I am gonna have to tune in. He’s a proper sort.

[@Rai_S82]

You're looking and sounding great here, Matt. Keep going! ❤

[@theBipolarVegan]

Hits hard. I'm always going to be an addict. Daily struggle. But I'm surrounded by support, which a lot of people don't have... Thanks for sharing. Namaste brothers and sisters 😊☮️❤️💯🌱

[@JakeWoolmer]

Needed to see this.

[@phillipbates9587]

Nice explanation

[@dave-jk6en]

Such a rock star

[@big-g6]

Powerful documentary mate, and credit to you and your wife she is a rock. You’re an inspiration to many believe me. There is nothing to shame about the hard-hitting subject that you are addressing. I wish you all the happiness and strength to continue the fight.

[@BossySwan]

What a nice bloke

[@KD-wh3ky]

Total respect

[@rigby7662]

Love you matt 💙🙏 god bless mate

[@lasso248]

Fantastic

[@andreasahulova]

"the alternative is not OK"

[@sherimillman53]

Powerful 💪

[@luketaylor1515]

He seems so different compared to how he used to be including when he was sober, it makes me wonder if the tablets that he takes to help battle his addiction zombify him a bit. The same thing happened to Eminem

[@HayleyMillar-d1i]

I can relate to this living with it is hell fair play to u Matt it’s hard

[@angelapattinson9830]

My first husband died of alcohol addiction he was 45 nasty i was scared every day, now my second husband has been in rehab about 6 times he's not nasty ,he's started drinking again 😢

[@carolbaughan8768]

Run, Forest, Run! So many people need AA, and the 12 steps.

[@Rai_S82]

Make yourself the priority ❤

[@itssamiyoutube]

I was with an addict and alcoholic was a nasty horrible person control freak and abusive and worser when drunk awful person glad i got rid.

[@itssamiyoutube]

Hes not willing to fully surrender u can't help someone who doesn't want to help them selfs.

[@itssamiyoutube]

​@@carolbaughan8768 i went aa and na i sat many 12 steps even than ir never stopped me from going off rails i never found steps useful all sponcers kept going on benders there selfs.

[@OhvieQueen]

Morning, blissful day bless❤

[@mike.B.1]

My boss is like this. And made my work a hell. It's difficult to be emphatic with someone who is addicted

[@HayleyMillar-d1i]

Try living with it

[@keire2]

I hope you can see past the action and see the loss of living ❤v

[@gemmastaines5706]

I know what you mean! Especially if that individual isn't ready/wanting to get help or take back control!

[@dianegarciaprieto2118]

❤❤ Keep safe.

[@Happybugs]

Can’t help those who don’t help themselves unfortunately

[@jamesirvine9541]

If Ure fit enough to take up running you should mate worked for me haven't touched cocaine for 2 years and was on 3 gram a day for 18 months

[@barry2924]

Listened to Ronnie osullivan talk recently about how running helps him, never been a runner myself but I guess it's worth a go, people with addictions worst enemy is there mind

[@luketaylor1515]

How could you afford it? that’s at least £100 a day

[@KNXUrbex]

​@@luketaylor1515 addicts will always find a way.

[@squidlings]

I always thought drugs where only a problem if you couldn't afford them 😂 turns out that's total rubbish. Matt is so lucky to have Emma and his family. He'd be done if she left him. Crazy love she has for him.

[@Totalmenteyo]

Addiction is such a cunning enemy of everyone, starting from the addict who is totally destroyed to become servant of this malicious desease...

[@Andrew-kc4li]

Please do not say "everyone". I have never even smoked a cigarette. It is the disease of the egoistic idiots of the world.

[@JackCliffordWilliams]

❤

[@dianegarciaprieto2118]

popi OMG

[@gareth19864]

I think this poor man needs referring to specsavers anonymous immediately!🤣🤣

[@azimithmusic]

PLEASE CAN YOU GUYS MAKE A DOCUMENTARY SERIES ON HOW THE BRITISH LOOTED OTHER COUNTRIES?? FOCUSING ON THE PART WHERE HOW THE LOOT WAS SPENT?? PLEASEE IT’S A REQUESTTTT

[@whoooooooosh]

[@Ubgr66]

[@cliffordleger6707]

Firts🎉

[@calickbread]

Steroids are also a dangerous substance

[@mariannehavisham8323]

Relevance?

[@matthewfernando2825]

I feel very sorry for Emma 😢 Is Matt substance now Steroids?

[@paulkent5933]
