Inamin ni Billy Crawford na naging alcoholic siya at nakipaglaban sa depression na tumagal din ng ilang taon. Kuwento ni Billy, nakaapekto sa kanyang trabaho ang pagka-adik sa alcohol at nasundan pa ng depression at pagiging suicidal.
“I would actually go to work sometimes still drunk. Yeah. I would wake up in the morning, have a shot of whisky, and do whatever I need to do. I was at the point of uncontrolled drinking.”
“Siguro, that was my kryptonite in my life. I knew it was weighing me down... I became very aggressive, mainitin ang ulo when I’m with alcohol. It took those hard falls, to be honest with you, like it took me being locked up, it took me... I was always just ready to just go.
“I was always just ready to leave this world and without any hesitations when I was depressed. When I was sad. But that’s the point. I didn’t have any reason to be depressed. I didn’t had any reason to be sad,” sabi ni Billy.
Laking pasasalamat ni Billy na nakaya niyang talikuran ang masamang bisyo pagkatapos ma-realize ang negative effects sa kanyang buhay at relationship. Saka, wala nang rason si Billy para maging alcoholic at ma-depress dahil may asawa’t anak na si Billy, masaya siya sa buhay may asawa.
