They need to get Jovi help! He wakes up, takes a sip of alcohol because he “thought it was juice”.

Gwen, Yara, whomever else there is needs to talk about his drinking and he needs help. Alcoholism does not get better. The fact he’s drinking when he wakes up??

Most people would go for water if they’re hungover. An alcoholic would go for the alcohol. Especially when their body starts to become dependent on it physically. He needs help.

I wish they wouldn’t tip toe around this. You see Yara bring it up briefly here & there, but it’s always dropped.

That’s my 2 cents.

    She always brings it up… he’s clearly a functioning alcoholic man child. He clearly chose a job not close to home so he can continue partying without Yara.

      Does anyone know if he gets to leave the rig on weekends with his work buddies? I’m guessing they do sometimes.

        I’ve been with an offshore rig worker over 15 yrs now. To the best of my knowledge, there really isn’t a weekend on a rig offshore, or a drill ship. There aren’t even days off.

        They fly out or take a crew boat and stay their complete rotation. It is dry and is supposed to be. It is a dangerous job where one mistake can cost life.

        When they end their hitch and go back to the beach, there will be decompressing: bars and strip clubs are part of that culture.

        That doesn’t mean Jovi isn’t sneaking it, but it would get him fired.

        In my experience, drinking in the mornings pushes that cross over the chemical line into addiction happen fairly fast

          I’ve been posting other comments that wonder about being able to leave or drink so I’m so excited to finally get an insider to answer that for me. Thanks!! I finally know a little better that it’d be incredibly hard to drink.

          So if he couldn’t leave, he’d have to pack a crap ton of alcohol. I’d say he could get sloppy if he did that, but he strikes me as the type that drunk is more normal than being not drunk. Nobody can tell with them as easily.

            I think it’s unlikely he drinks while working. A lot of guys who do this work do have issues with drugs and/or alcohol, but can keep it at bay because their schedule provides dry time.

            Still, that’s gonna get harder if jovis drinking reg in the morning when he’s home.
