    Hoffman's death really got me. To know that a bloke who had so much success and seemed to be some comfortable in his skin could relapse to the extent he did! As a recovering addict he was one of my heroes. Now he's gone. It's so bloody sad.

      No amount of success will permanently settle the unrest that lies in most addicts' hearts. The fact is that heroin is a sure-fire way to at least temporarily feel better. That's why many addicts end up on Suboxone or Methadone. They may have so much trauma or mental anguish from their lives that it is the only way to cope with the pain. Of course I think recovery is the better option, but relapse is especially likely when there are no immediate financial consequences- think rock stars and rich actors (he was probably enabled by his family also).

      Once it hooks you, you never stop thinking about it. I've known many heroin addicts who would get multiple years clean and then relapse. You just never can shake the Jones for it. It's a helluva drug.

      Did you choose to nit pick because you're a narky CZcams stereotypical demographic type who likes to be shitty online as a means of venting their real life frustrations in cowardly dysfunctional fashion using the anonymity afforded by the internet? Or are you simply not able to interpret the English language beyond the explicit rudimentary terms of a 7 year old and don't thus appreciate that it's a more complex, multifaceted thing than the sum of the literal words alone? Don't bother answering, it's a rhetorical question and I don't care either way; narky or thick are not qualities I want to hear more of from those that are afflicted with either undesirable trait/mental impairment.

      I wonder if someone pressured him to have that drink. "Just have one man come on!" or something like that. I've seen it happen several times.
      I just watched the Hot Ones episode with David Harbour and he's a recovering alcoholic. Nearing the end of the wing gauntlet he says something like "I haven't had a drink in 15 years, but I feel buzzed right now!" And my first thought was "that's all it takes to fall off the wagon" and I genuinely got a bit worried for him.
      Reading this has made me worry even further. I never knew he relapsed in that way. Just goes to show what a slippery slope sobriety is. You're one day... well really just one decision away from ruining your life. Hoffman had that drink. Hopefully eating spicy wings isn't the decision that makes Harbour have another drink. That would be such a kick in the balls.

      * Please watch the video documentary called, 'THE MONEY MASTERS' by Bill Still.
      The U.S. dollar currency has value in most countries on this earth because modern day technology has made it almost impossible to counterfeit. Gold and Silver can be easily counterfeited !
      It costs many thousands of dollars to own a machine that accurately tests Gold and Silver for counterfeits.
      * I personally own a little Gold and Silver as a novelty.
      By you and others criticizing the U.S.A. dollar pushes us faster towards a One World Order cashless digital currency money slavery system !
      Please research past history from many hundreds of years ago on how Gold and Silver was made scarce by corrupt politicians.
      When Gold & Silver is made scarce it causes many, many problems.
      Send all the corrupt politicians that got the U.S.A in debt to communist China to have them pay off the debt in the China slave labor prisons !
      * President Trump can create an Executive Order to wipe out the U.S.A. debt.
      Then allow Congress their Constitutional right to print non-debt based money again as they did before the year 1913.
      The words 'FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE' will then be replaced with the words 'UNITED STATES NOTE' back on our cash.
      If Congress does not do this soon we are going to be in a lot of trouble ! !
      Why isn't the President taking action by implementing this ?

      Why would anybody invest or put their trust in Gold & Silver that is manipulated by very evil people ?

      How many are going to let themselves and their family members go hungry to the point of starvation by NOT accepting the new 666 "beast" money system ?
      How many of you will allow yourselves or family members suffer with an injury because you refuse to have the injury treated at your local walk-in clinic or hospital that only accepts a computer chip in the "right hand or forehead" ?

Please see past that. Philip you are an inspiration and pure strength. You were in pain and being honest is never easy. Revealing a truth like that says “I know I need
    help and I’m doing my best.” Anyone that wasn’t a good try to humility a human for being human is not human. Lady in the glasses please seek help.

      People who lack empathy for drug addicts cant see past their own asshole. Their own perspective and opinion are the only ones that matter to them. They think that just because someone is an addict it means that they consciously choose to destroy their bodies constantly. They never realize the fact that some addicts are hopelessly addicted to a substance wether they like it or not, which is why its fucking called an "addiction". These are the same people who drink and smoke at the end of every day to unwind after work.
      Anyway, wow, I never thought I would meet someone who was extremely fortunate enough to go through what I went through.
      October 2019, after I was finishing up work at an empty apartment after inspecting it for a client moving in in the next few days. I was tired and wanted to relax for a little while in that nice unit with a great view and a big TV. I had 6 of those sexy blue M30 pills, the fenty ones. Them Dirty Thirties that were ridonkulously stronk. I crushed one up and prepared a few lines that were going to go on a trip into my mucus membranes. I had completely forgotten than I havent done them in months so my tolerance was basically at zer0. My dumb ass railed the entire fuckin pill.
      If I would have stayed in the apartment, I would have definitely died. I almost was deciding to stay since no one was going to be there and it was a sweet unit. But I somehow decided to just go home. I walked into the elevator and thats when it started to hit me. Was feelin fucking groovy as frick. Reached the lobby, realized I was feeling a little too groovy...walked out the front door and the next thing I know, I got sucked back into reality by the blinding lights in the hospital. Felt like time travel. My hands and fingers were blue, I was gasping hard for air, my body hurt, could barely move or speak. Felt half dead.
      After a while, the doctors told me I overdosed and died for about a minute and was extremely lucky I didnt lose a limb or turned into a vegetable since my oxygenation percentage was dangerously low and could have suffered perma-brain damage.
      In fortunate enough to not have had any permanent effects. Though the thing that messed with me the most was the fact that even though I was told that I died, I didnt really mind. My mind was thinking about getting home as soon as possible so I can rail the rest of those stupidly stronk fuckers hehe. Addiction really is a bitch. Makes everything else take second place, even your own life.

    It's hard to know if, based on his response to the reporter alone, he was using again. It can be dangerous when addiction specialists make assumptions about a person's usage. He may have been clean in that moment, and assumptions can be a defeating energy that expedites relapse.

I'm sure he had several people that he got his drugs off of but I knew one of them and I met him on two occasions..The first time I seen Phillip I was quickly told to leave and was escorted out of the house and I walked by him making eye contact...I just looked at him in awe...no words was spoken...The "Dealer_ made everyone leave due to Phillip showing up...I honestly don't think anyone else recognized him but I did...I was a huge fan....the second occasion was vastly different...we said a few words and actually had somewhat of a conversation... I was embarrassed more than anything but at the same time I wanted to take advantage of the moment....I'll never forget it but then at the same time I wish it never happened.

      So "most brilliant people are troubled self obsessed thinkers" eh? How many "brilliant" people do you know personally? I'm pretty sure it's not "most" of them! So where are you getting your information? I know one or two brilliantly creative people myself and they're anything but troubled and self obsessed! And the only thing they're addicted to is expressing themselves creatively! On the whole I would say the percentage of non "brilliant" types who become addicts was way higher than the percentage of "brilliant" types who become addicts. And the reason for this is simple; most brilliant, creative people are doing what they want in life, expressing themselves creatively, something that's far more fulfilling than the normal person's 9-5 existence and therefor they require less anesthesia than most people.

      *****
      I don't know about that, from what I've read the only correlation is between bipolar disorder and higher intelligence. As for depression and schizophrenia it seems they're linked more to lower intelligence, on the whole.
      "Highly intelligent people are LESS likely to have mental illnesses than less intelligent people ON AVERAGE. This is thought to be because the smarter you are, the more likely it is that you will find good coping mechanisms and never come down with the full blown version of things, especially for depression and anxiety disorders. You tend ON AVERAGE to have healthier relationships with others, another major factor in mental health"

      @aviolentpurple9925 Před 10 lety +2

      Jinka is right. Especially these days. Before all this technology and a flooding of "everything" a person with a brilliant idea could pursue it. Now it is too easy to simply know everything, and realize the futility of life. I hate people who just got done reading self help books and have a snappy positive answer to everything, as if everyone can simply do whatever makes them happy right away and that's how life is. Many people who are bursting with the best ideas, talent, etc, were abused, fell through the cracks, had a traumatic experience, bad luck, set off on one course of life too long then woke up and realized it was too late to do what they always wanted, or any number of things. Then the only way to escape the nightmare of life may become manually modifying one's brain chemistry. Heroin is one way to do that. But so are pharmaceutical opiates-another enormous scam (just read up on patent law and the history of Purdue Pharma). The few who manage to kick drug habits are still faced with empty lives, the downsides of antidepressants, so on and so forth. It's a really terrible time to be alive.

Alcohol and tobacco are far more damaging to your health on a day to day basis if we compare and say that the legal products are the only ones being consumed.

What if Philip was honest about just coming out of rehab and had gone through a tough time, because stopping a bad heroin habit is worse than hell. What if he was in the kind of rehab that is into total honesty and admitting your problems to everyone who asks.
