    Default Drugs Take A Billionaire

    This guy was a crypto currency mogul also. He was 54 years old and had been in and out of rehab since college. He spent tons of money from the 13 trust funds he inherited at 21 on dope and parties. Drugs will kill you. There's only 3 outcomes possible if you get addicted to the hard stuff:

    • Getting clean and staying clean
    • Going to prison
    • Death

    That's it!

    I read an article on him that said he was taking up to 80 oxycotin pills a day.

    Sad why? What makes him different from any other junkie that chooses that death? The fact that he was born into money?

    I could give two fucks if he had 2 dollars or 2 billion, I still think it's sad the man died from an addiction that could have been avoided.

    Addiction is a disease, much like cancer, that could not care less about socioeconomic class or bank accounts.

    Do you honestly believe that addiction is a disease?

    My brother got addicted to drugs and pills and almost died before my parents got him into rehab. At that time he was up to 9 Oxycontin a day along with coke, weed, acid...you name it. He went through rehab, got clean and is still clean to this day.....16 years later. He has worked for rehab facilities since he got clean and is one of, if not the only person in MS that can admit patients into rehab w/o them seeing a dr.

    I say all of that to say if you or someone you know is struggling with addiction (drugs or alcohol), get some help. If you need any help with the process or just have questions about rehab, I'll be happy to pass my brothers info along to you.
    I take an PLB in the shower with me. Can't ever be too safe.

    Whats it like to live w/o the Internet? Not bad, I get photos of your mom thought the mail....

    Addiction is nothing like cancer, it is a choice. Addicts who choose to keep going at it are weak, selfish individuals who ruin their lives and the lives of those that care about them.

    Not always. I've seen several people get hooked on prescription drugs because of injuries and a true need for some type of pain relief medication at the time. A lot of them have no clue about what is happening to them, until it is too late.

    I had a roommate in college that was a heroin addict (hadn't used in several years). It started with painkillers after tearing his knee up in school. He got hooked on them, and finally his body and mind were telling him that they weren't enough. That lead to him trying other things to ease the pain that his body and mind were telling him he was in, which ultimately lead him to heroin.
    The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is,
    as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

    Yea this is true for the most part. They either don't know or they don't care how bad they fuck every one else. I have no use for a junky, how ever I have known good people who became addicted after surgery or chronic pain. One of the best guys I ever knew got hooked on pain meds that way and over dosed a few years later. He was a great guy bit his family is still in shambles after that happened. Addiction is a self inflicted disease for the most part, but it is still a disease.
