Why I Keep My Wife's Ashes In A Liquor Bottle

[@Fisherman-dz9cd]

Honestly your story saves lives you really are amazing

[@EricBZink]

thanks I really appreciate that

[@kristensneed2830]

Dr1ven Industries I agree completely...whenever I have bad days and feel I can’t get out of bed or whatever I always watch the funny tik toks or come here and watch inspirational videos that he does!

[@megschumacher1928]

Now that I actually watched the entire video, thank you for this video. Thank you for being so raw and vulnerable. This showed me what the aftermath would look like if I had succeeded in any of my attempts, or if I give in to the awful thoughts and urges. Thank you for reminding me that it’s not worth it.

[@EricBZink]

you are so worth it and believe me it is hard but we have to fight for those good days because they are worth it too

[@yvonnehaynes3003]

You are an ANGEL on this earth. I really mean that from the bottom of my heart. You help so many,much more than you'll ever know. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS. All theway from Australia. 😃

[@kristensneed2830]

I always wondered why you kept the ashes in that. I didn’t want to be inconsiderate or rude by asking. Just be strong and know you’re not alone. I’m truly struggling right now with stuff and to the point I’m about to break....

[@EricBZink]

have you talked to anyone or reached out for help

[@kristensneed2830]

Dr1ven Industries only thing opened in Tennessee right now is the emergency intake and i can talk to my case worker anytime. I can’t even get in to see my dr for regular med appts cause it’s a government based facility. However my case worker said if it gets to bad she told me I can meet up with her anytime-off record-. Cause she knows my history and she said I’m one of her more sensitive cases! So I guess it’s good being special lol

This was very strong and emotional.It's Ok to cry.It also made me cry. The forms of grieving are different for everyone.It takes time.I only have some pictures of my mom,my dad and my stepdad left.But not of any other loved ones that I've lost. Thank you for being here.My heart and hugs go out to you ❤️

[@EricBZink]

thanks and all the love back we got this

[@francescat_p6704]

Thank you for your videos, I also struggle with guilt after my husband’s suicide a few months ago, to not have provided him with the help I should have, to not have helped him enough in times of need and with his mental illness, to have made mistakes in the last months of our relationship. We all need to remind ourselves of the things you talk about. Keep it up, it’s very important to have someone to relate to, and you’re helping us to feel much less alone.

[@EricBZink]

here for you and it helps to know we are not alone and that others understand

[@T19-g8f]

Love you Eric ❤️

[@EricBZink]

love you too!

[@vickiedorrell1042]

Amen BAMF brother.... I love the content of this video. You are so genuinely sincere. 😢😢 Eric gun I'm so so sorry. You are an amazing man and you father and your wife are very proud of you. I have no doubt. Thanks for always being there for me. Much ❤ from Oklahoma....

[@EricBZink]

All the love back and here for you

[@pawprintheroes8408]

People tend to do things like drink or do drugs to numb the pain but scientifically speaking it makes it worse. You get that 5 minutes of up but the down is much worse then it was before. Which makes you then want to do it more often. Then the body gets used to it and you need more to feel that 5 minutes. I'm blessed I dont have addictions. I watched my mom slowly killing herself and it made me determined to not let myself go down that lane. Addiction and mental health are a very scary mix. When people look at me I'm bubbly and silly or shy. I've been told I'm boring because I don't drink or anything like that. But I perfer being able to say I'm not a statistic of abuse or PTSD. The shit I survived and have to mentally relive every day empowers me. I don't want to numb the knowledge that as hurt as I am I managed to keep my head above the water enough to survive. I did it for me. I did it because the world told me I couldn't. Told me I don't deserve to be happy or loved. I made my own fate. I made my own story. I tried to commit suicide in 2017 and it only reminded me of why and how I made it that far. I was reborn. I don't regret anything about my journey because it brought me to where I am now. My life isnt perfect but I'm safe and loved and that's enough for me

[@EricBZink]

exactly and when we are struggling there is help if we find the strength to ask for it

[@dancinginthepsychward6381]

I'm in Yuma!!! Holy shit. This is really touching and honest. The way we grieve is so different from person to person, and there is no right or wrong way (obviously toxic coping skills aren't good). It's touching that you found a meaningful and creative way to keep her ashes.

[@kaitlintropper2061]

I have my cat’s ashes in my room. Couldn’t get rid of them.

[@shellbell9380]

Thanks for the clarification. I havent placed my dads ashes in anything significant as of yet. This video helped me realize it has to help me heal as well.

[@EricBZink]

got your back and go at your pace, it does help some believe me

[@adrienneparker7123]

Thank you for sharing! You are making an impact on people.. you are awesome!

[@EricBZink]

[@kayleeopp4079]

I've been kinda wondering that for a while. But I knew you would tell us when you were ready. Eric I know Brandy & your dad would be so so so proud of you.. Look how far you have come.. Not with just your sobriety but with Driven Together.. I wish like you they were here to see it but I know there always there with you in spirit.. But I know there in heaven smiling & proud of how amazing your doing.. I just want to give you a big hug.. We got this

[@EricBZink]

Figured it was time to share about it

[@Thejeepcalledred5]

I'm very co dependent with my husband. It scares me because I dont think i could live if he wasn't with me.

[@EricBZink]

i get the struggle and don't forget you are amazing!

[@juskitcarol7028]

Thats the same wife you cheated on because you had sex addiction?.. so she got cheated on, husband not sober (maybe agressive? since he said "I knew I was going to kill her") no friends around.. what else she was going through? to get all that bottled up, washing it all on drinking.. 😢 she probably was going through so much.. that must've hurted so much.. Rest in peace Brandy.

[@hazetaze5580]

Hey man. I've been doing cocaine daily and I don't know if you'll see this, but I smoked some grass today on the comedown, and I started seeing shadow people and weird stuff. I'm a freaking out a little and just want some reassurance that I'm fine and it's the weed messing with me. I made it 5 days sober last week. I quit meth 6 months ago but cocaine still sticks around. While not as strong as meth, it's very addicting and i keep redosing even though its hardly working anymore. Will it get better

[@EricBZink]

I am rooting for you because I know the struggle reach out for help because it is worth it been there

[@hazetaze5580]

@@EricBZink I took a few xanax and felt better that night. I'm 3 days clean off coke. And counting!
