Preventable tragedy

These ‘accidental overdoses’ that seem to permeate our culture are preventable deaths. The sorrow here is about more than just the passing of someone who touched the lives of others through film, but also that their choices could have been so much different without the drugs.

No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it's what his players know that counts. ~ Paul "Bear" Bryant

“accidental overdose” just a fancy way of saying he pushed the needle too far in…

Lane Kiffin took the meaning of "Volunteer" WAY too seriously....

that sucks...

but as far as the art of acting losing a great one, Heath Ledger’s “accidental overdose” was much worse…

enjoy...

I will withhold my lack of empathy towards this tragedy selfish incident.

I also thought Feldman would go first.

Some people struggle with addiction throughout their lives,and it’s wrong to judge someone as being ’’selfish’’ when it comes to addiction.And it’s really tought on young people growing up acting in such a tempting environment as Hollywood.
I’m not defending his actions,however addiction has different effects on people.A lot can kick the demons of it,while so many more will struggle with it for the rest of their lives.
Most of my buddys I grew up with are recovering alcoholics,and most have no problem with it.However some of them relapse from time to time.Point is addiction effects people in different ways.
I smoked for 18 years,and have been smoke free for 5.Yet not a day goes by where I dont think about them.Especially around people who do,and I choose to be in that environment.As I still like to go to bars for live music.

somewhere about the five year range...

i pretty much lost the urge to smoke altogether. the every-so-often craving, even spur of the moment ones, just kinda weren’t there anymore. i still get a smokemare now and then though.

addiction is a terrible thing...i have seen many destroyed by them

But when you put something as dumb as a a drug ahead of your well being and choose that drug over your family…it is a selfish act.

You aren’t born addicted to crack, weed, nicotine, heroine etc. You make the choice to take drugs and you also have a choice not to do them. I’m sorry but I have no sympathy for the rich and famous. They are given everything and did little to earn it. Some choose to do awesome things with their money/ fame and help the world. Others help destroy it…

Their main addiction

is to themselves.

I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.

the idea that beating addiction solely through "soberwillpower"

is one of the biggest myths about the condition. it’s also one of the most dangerous ways for a true addict to try and beat their affliction. it’s basically asking them to fail.

the general feeling tends to be that if it’s something that is – by definition – beyond the ability of the person to control, then they do not bear responsibility for it. a key part of most interdiction programs is demonstrating to the addict that the former may be true but the latter is not.

Damn, I am 38...

…did I just admit that?

Auburn and Tennessee fans are a lot like Slinkys...neither are worth much but you do get a sense of satisfaction from pushing them down a flight of stairs
