I loved your message. I think most people can really understand how big of an impact alcohol and drug use can have on everyone around you when it’s talked about the way that you did. Congratulations on 30 Years!
Listening to you talk about your brother Sean with so much love and a big smile on your face was so great to see. I called my sister after your show to tell her that I am so proud of her overcoming her struggles. Thank you for reminding me that family is most important.
Awesome show. Great change of pace from our usual training. Glad we got a chance to hear your story as well. Thankyou
I went to the theater fully expecting a droll presentation, however I was presently surprised by Bernie’s engaging demeanor. The show was full of (much appreciated) laughs that were quickly followed up with a pertinent message. Many thanks to Bernie for the fantastic change of pace!
Thank you for the laughs and the message. I left wanting to get in touch with family I’ve been not communicating with as much as I’d like. I know we all left learning or realizing something today.
Thanks for sharing your stories. Probably hit close to home for more people than you realized
Thank you for coming out to Whidbey Island and sharing your message. Comedy mixed with powerful messages seems to be very effective

Truly enjoyed your humor and message today. My husband was right when he said that I would enjoy your presentation. I especially loved your sharing about your brother Shawn. He is blessed beyond measure to have you in his life.
