it's almost like their brain is wired to pick up that beer, to do that thing. And that's when I started to realize like, this addiction is a serious thing.

I think it was, I finally realized, you know, that this is something he did not choose, you know, something that he does not want to choose. When he would, like I said prior, it's, we would have the best day. We would have such a great day. And then later on that night, it was just something would just tick in his brain where he couldn't help himself.

And I think that's a huge factor with addiction in our relationship. Yeah. balance was definitely a huge key. I really tried to do what I could to help him and better him and distract his mind. For me, I'm really not a home buddy at all. And Liam was a home buddy and that's okay. But for me, I didn't want to be at home from the minute I wake up to the minute I go to sleep.

And one thing I remember closer to the was that I remember Liam would always order us coffee from Starbucks on Uber Eats every morning. And I eventually said to him, I was like, this is before I got my, you know, I was able to drive and learn how to drive on the other side of the road in England, as you know. And I remember saying to him, I was like, you know, you have a car.

Why don't we just go out and grab a coffee? Like, why do we have to order one every single morning from Starbucks? And He just would always say, I just, I don't really want to get out of bed. I don't want to get out of bed yet. I just want to have like a lazy morning and then we'll go do something later on.

And for me, I prefer to actually wake up early, go grab a cup of coffee, go on a Starbucks drive-thru, sit on the drive-thru. I know it's something so small, but it makes my day feel 10 times more productive. Just getting out of bed rather than sitting in your bed and waiting for a coffee to show up right at your doorstep.

So for me, I think balance was a huge key factor in helping Liam with his mental health. You know, I tried to make sure that we weren't busy 24-7 because he wouldn't have liked that. That's like him trying to keep me at home 24-7. I wouldn't have liked that. So I think a balance was great. You know, some nights we would...

go out to a nice dinner and then go watch a movie after and then play mini golf or something or go bowling and then come home. But then other nights we would cook dinner at home, watch a movie at home in bed and then play Wii bowling.

You know, like we didn't have to be out all the time, but I think balance is so good, especially when you do struggle with mental health to help get that person kind of out of their shell and out of the house. And that's something that I really tried to And some days, he wouldn't really want to leave the house. And I would just kind of say to him, come on, we're getting out of the house.

I found this cool museum. We're going to go here. And just at the end of the day, everything that we did, we never regretted because I knew in a way we succeeded the day. I got him through his mental health that day. I got him out of that headspace.

And I remember in Greece a couple months ago before Liam passed away, we were in Greece and he was posting on his Snapchat and he was having one of those days where he woke up and he wasn't in the best headspace. And I said to him, all right, get dressed. We're going to the beach. We're in Greece. It's 80 degree, 90 degree weather. Why are we in the hotel room? We're going to the beach.
