Is there anything more boring/depressing

[Mars_ax]

Then hearing rock stars/musicians, movie stars, former athletes, and other celebrities in interviews who blither about their battles with drug and alcohol addiction? For example: Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) discussing that during the height of her career she was snorting so much cocaine up her nose, it actually destroyed most of the cartilage there. The damage caused her voice to change to the point that she wasn't sure she'd be able to sing right again.

It's like, so you're a piece of shit, who made an idiotic 'life' choice? Who gives a fuck.

Thoughts?

charlie sheen is a cunt.

just because these people get famous/have money, doesn't mean they're happy or that it fixes there problems.

There was a crap soap actress on eastenders who snorted so much she lost her nose. She was vile.

No difference to Whitney.

She pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of illegal drugs into herself by her own choice. When asked if she was on crack,she laughed and said we arent street scum we can afford much better than that.

In the real world kids in 3rd world countries starve and thousands of them could of been saved by her if she wasnt so self absorbed.


Then the whole world is going "Oh no Whitney how tragic, oh nooooo."

Apparently some people find the lives of celebrity drug/alcohol abusers fascinating, I really don't get it.

[Andre]

Same fascination as a car wreck I suppose

I was never much of a drug user, I experimented a bit back in the late 60's and early 70"s. What I mainly did was drink beer, lots of beer. On weekends i'd spend hours and hours at the local watering hole, shooting pool or the bull with my "friends" and getting shitfaced. One day about 15 years ago, I decided to see if I could 'quit' drinking for 6 months, just on principal, I wanted to see if I had the willpower to do it.
It turned out to be one of the best, most unselfish decisions i've ever made. When the 6 months was up, I didn't miss it or have a drink again for another 12 1/2 years. Funny thing, at the end of the first 6 months, I went back to one of my watering holes, and drank diet pepsi. I tried getting into one of those 'great' conversations with "friends", but it just wasn't the same without booze, and I realized there's nothing more boring or depressing then listening to a bunch of drunks talk. lmfao

2 years ago I started keeping mostly imported beer, and a bit of whiskey in my house. If I have a really shitty week or usually when there's some good boxing on, i'll have a beer or 2 at the most, or a shot of whiskey. ( I may have a shot tonight ) I have no desire to drink more then that, and thats only a couple days a month. I could live totally without alcohol (and did) but I find the little bit that I do, to be enjoyable.

cheers

(Sorry for being almost as boring as one of those famous celebrities.)

Charlie Sheen is a total douche, sadly he has huge following of fans who are just as fucked up as he is. Another alcohol/drug wastrel, is Lindsey Lohan, she's only 25 and already looks like an old hag. (the camera doesn't lie) I guess some guys find her attractive, I find her utterly repulsive.

I can laugh at the banality (not 100% sure thats the right word but you know what I mean) of Sheens character in two and half men.

[Andre]

I get your meaning though,for people to follow them and worship them 'as stars' because they can act or sing is mindlessness in itself, without the dumb crap they do to themselves and others around them.

Its good anyway; the more people in the cinemas and at concerts the less out in the surf or up on mountains .

The sad thing is, their celeb stock all rose after admitting they were drug addicts.

Charlie Sheen had faded out until his rampage

Would Amy Winwhouse have even been famous if she wasn't a wreck head?

Im the same these days, drink for taste with meals, never to get totally altered by it anymore. I love being straight I enjoy the time difference overall, straight seems to stretch out time longer.

Funny though, when I'm watching a good western I sometimes have a straight shot along with them.

Shit. You get into the mood, don't you?


As for me. I've used my fair share of drugs. But I made a promise to myself before hand to control myself. I set a limit on myself.

I started out with marijuana. Smoked a bit of that. Once a month at the most. Then I got my job at an old folks home, and they drug tested. Thankfully for me, the once a month restriction kept me on the straight side. It wasn't even a problem to quit smoking. I haven't smoked since October of 2010.

Drank a bit to replace weed. Once a month. I'm tired of it, now, and I haven't gotten shit faced since Christmas.

And I'm 17. If I can do it, anybody can.

You should not be doing it in the first place, stupid to start.
