This A list celebrity/singer tells everyone he is sober. Apparently those beers he was drinking this weekend while passing around joint after joint after his concert must just be part of his recovery program.
Many will revile this point of view, but as a drug addict, I think that drinking 2 glasses of wine and potentially smoking marijuana some day (as it's legal in my state) is not that big a failure -- It wasn't until club drugs that I ever had a problem. If the celeb/singer can avoid hard drugs and stick with social use of alcohol and cannabis, I say he's not that bad off. (Of course, most druggy people have a hard time not going on a hard drug binge after getting high, though.)
I am a friend of Bill W. People who call themselves sober have admitted they are alcoholics or drug addicts. Those who go to AA agree that we can no longer drink or use. However, it is not the policy of the program to go chasing down our relapsed brothers and sisters. People have to want the program. So, if this artist is drinking beers or smoking dope maybe he was mistaken about being an addict? Whatever, it's his business and none of the alkies I know would judge him.

ReplyDeleteI agree @Barton Fink. I can safely drink a couple beers, smoke some weed...but if vodka comes out, or certain pills, I'm in trouble.
ReplyDeleteAfter the hell I went through, why tempt fate though? ;)
Blake Shelton was just in Detroit this weekend playing a concert.
ReplyDeleteWhat are considered club drugs? Coke, heroin? Probably not weed or meth, I could see that.
ReplyDelete@Barton & Baby, good on you both for your strength.
I have no horse in this race but I love Blake Shelton annoying the hell out of the Westboro idiots on Twitter.

ReplyDeletePlain and simple - if you are drinking, you are not sober.
ReplyDeleteRight Moose and alcohol is what starts all the trouble for me.
