How does sobriety affect relationships?

Bert Kreischer 0:00

I almost shit my pants. I almost shit my pants. Make me another drink. Make me another drink. You know, you're one of my favorite human beings. You're the only reason if I ever quit drinking, you're the first person I'll call and the only person I'll ever call. I swear to God when I say that. You quitting drinking, you're the only inspiration in my life. Everyone that's sober, fuck yourselves. That's the only guy. I swear to God, you know that. Well, here's the thing.

Unknown Speaker 6 0:30

If you do quit or you want to quit and you call me... Don't let that be the end of our relationship because I have a friend that wanted to quit, called me. I'm ready. I'm doing it. I'm like, dude, let's go. Let's meet. And we go to a meeting. He shows up wasted at a meeting. And everyone in the meeting is like, oh, my God, dude, why did you bring this guy? And I'm like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. And afterwards, he's telling me, he's like, you know, usually when I don't want to do things, I just tell people I have a therapist appointment, but I don't have a therapist. Cut to a week later. I'm like, hey, you want to go to that meeting again? He's like, can't, man. I've got therapy today. And I'm like, oh, you forgot you told me your secret lie. Oh, my God.

Unknown Speaker 6 1:08

And then he never talks to me anymore because now he thinks that I'm... You know, like when people are like, I'm going to make a decision that changes my life.

Bert Kreischer 1:13

You can't be the villain. You can't be the villain. Cheers, buddy. Cheers. Cheers. Your... Nick, I can't tell you how much I love you. I really can't. I can't express it. Because you entered my life at a time and you shared all your fucking dirty laundry at a time that I needed to hear it. And it was really fucking pivotal. And I hope... I hope that one podcast goes viral because of how vulnerable you are and how awesome you are. But like, dude, by the way, if I ever decide to quit drinking, it's not real. Yeah. It's just for like a couple weeks.

Unknown Speaker 4 1:47

Yeah, it's fine. And so, yeah, I'll always be your friend. How did you handle the eating late at night thing? Because I can do- I love that he goes right to eating late at night. Trey is just going like, wait, let's talk about- I'm still stuck on that because that's what always happens. I was a fat kid and I've been up and down my entire adult life. I'll do great throughout the whole day. I'm not a big breakfast eater. I'll have a light lunch, a reasonable dinner, and then I'll make it through the entire day. And when I stand up from the couch to walk back to my bedroom to go to sleep at night, I so often take a detour into the kitchen and spend 15 minutes eating Girl Scout cookies in the dark over the kitchen sink by myself and just ruin the whole thing.

Unknown Speaker 4 2:27

And then wake up the next morning like, why did I? I do that. But then I do it again the next night. I don't know. Late night food is just, it just hits different.

Unknown Speaker 6 2:35

And then I'll take it out and throw it out in the out, like the neighbor's garbage can next door. So that way there's just no proof. But yeah, I love the late night cookie. I love, but also becoming vegan totally made me like not eat that kind of stuff because it's not easily accessible.

Unknown Speaker 5 2:50

But Oreos are vegan, right? I'll take a whole sleeve of those down.

Bert Kreischer 2:55

I'll find a way, bro.

Unknown Speaker 5 2:56

If you force me into being vegan, I'll find a way.

Bert Kreischer 2:59

I've never felt powerless over anything in my life. And I mean that. And at times, I'm sure I'm lying. But I'll tell you right now, Pizza, I'm powerless. I'm powerless. I'm powerless where I just, or like if I wake up from a nap and I know there's like Nutter Butters in the house. Right, yeah. I'm powerless. I mean, I'm talking like, my brain goes, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it. It's like, fuck your brain. We got this. Ain't Nutter Butter.

Unknown Speaker 4 3:25

No, I know. It's like a drug addict staying over at a friend's house and they know that they've got a script for some kind of Benzos. I'm that way if there's a bag of Cheetos in the pantry or any kind of shit like that. I just can't be in the same place with it or I will ruin relationships.
