I bummin love the cast!! You should do a carling Cup special and get some of the old blues players on!! Gardener, Johnston stephan car would be amazing!!

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

[@GOLFLIFECREW]

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

[@thecyclinggk]

What a guy.. pleasure having u on mate. Looking forward to plenty more content with you in the future

Wow,I watched Soccer AM for years,and Never knew about the Drinking.Well Done Tubes.

[@seandolan4813]

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 💪

Never met Tubes, but he's one of the soundest blokes you could interact with. DM'd him on Insta saying his golf channel had re inspired me to play golf after about 15 years not playing. Sent me a voice note in return. What a guy ❤

[@Infernius]

I met Tubes after Chelsea beat Wigan to win the league. He was drinking like a fish and off his rocker, but still one of the nicest blokes I've ever come across. Happy to see he's got help and turned it around.

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

[@chriswilson8506]

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.

[@weSnooker]

Well done Tubes, very brave and candid and you’ll help so many people out speaking so honestly. Big love 💕

[@KingKong-nx7ti]

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

[@lewisdowsett8390]

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

[@darbymark]

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

[@leewickstead2055]

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

[@loutennant99]

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

nothing but resect for pat. always loved him and always will

[@quarenteam829]

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.
