Quick Take - Alcohol is the missing piece of the jigsaw

Alcohol is the missing piece of the jigsaw for many alcoholics. In this clip from episode 3, John talks about how alcohol gave him "liquid personality" and it felt like the bit of him that "god left out". Lou and John also talk about the importance of stopping drinking before addressing personal issues - because alcohol is a mind-altering drug.
