Sorry guys... but speaking on behalf of all warlocks with tiger's blood and Adonis DNA everywhere, I think some of you may be taking all of this a bit too seriously.

"It's perfect. It's awesome. Every day is just filled with just wins. All we do is put wins in the record books. We win so radically in our underwear before our first cup of coffee, it's scary. People say it's lonely at the top, but I sure like the view." ("20/20.")


yeah... you are on the top of a big pile of doo doo now..

On the potential for John Stamos to replace him on "Two and a Half Men:" "I like John, but he doesn't have what I have and the show sucks if he's on it. Sorry, just speaking the truth." ("Access Hollywood.)

Sheen responded to the news of his job loss in a statement to TMZ.com:

"This is very good news," he said. "They continue to be in breach, like so many whales. It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of the bazillions, never have to look at [expletive] again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension." Some of the insults in Sheen's statement were presumably meant for Chuck Lorre, "Two and a Half Men's" creator.

Warlock huh???

Maybe Emilio Estevez could use a paycheck and step into 2 1/2 men without missing a beat.:biggrin:

Charlie's behavior and rhetoric is not too different from what we hear coming out of North Korea. Sick minds think alike!

Demiurge

He's fine. He's always had a plan.

tonyb

Who knows, maybe he'll hook up with Lindsey Lohan, those 2 can keep the gossip mags going for a few years.

I caught a very interesting idea for the replacement of Charlie Sheen on local talk radio today....Judd Nelson.

Judd Nelson has already been on "2.5 Men", playing Chris, the ex-husband of Alan's current girlfriend, Lyndsey (played by Courtney Thorne-Smith).

I guess you never had an addiction? It's easy to pass judgement on those who have a real problem when you feel you are above all of it (not you personally, just people in general), society says, "you made the choice to do that crap, you are an as$&ole, you don't deserve the air you breath".

Society also makes it hard on addicts, there is so much temptation about, especially if you have big bucks. Watch celebity rehab with Dr. Drew (God Bless him) People need help, sometimes when you see them on the bottom and at their worst with their hands up reaching out looking sick, have some compassion

Don't sweat it, stuwee. People who don't have the disease of addiction don't understand that is isn't necessarily our choice. Many cancers can be cured. Addiction can't be, despite what Mr. Sheen says. He's been arrested, abusive to his wife, he's been in trouble with the law, he's had his children taken away from him and now he's lost his job. These are not indications of someone who is "winning," they are indications that his life is unmanageable and now he's acting out on his insanity in front of the world. The only thing that's "winning" is Charlie's addiction. He'll be back to the rooms, they ALWAYS come back when the pain is great enough.

Sorry. I have had addiction problems. It is a choice. If you choose to abuse drugs/booze you will get addicted. You made that choice, and the people around you suffer from that choice. A lot of cancers are not a choice. Smoking is a choice. I am sorry but to wimp out and not take responsibility for your actions like you are innocent is pure BS. Does that mean I don't feel for people with addictions? No. Get a grip on reality people. Can you cure addiction? That is something that can be argued. Can you choose to not abuse drugs/booze? Yes. I bet a lot of cancer victims wish they had that choice.

Addiction is an incredibly overused and abused word. Its a clever excuse for many people to continue piss poor behavior.

"Oh, I can't help it, I have an addiction."

It makes me feel bad for people who truly have an addiction and aren't just being a-holes, because often they do get overlooked due to all the attention whores out there. It all boils down to choices.

I've been addicted to stuff because I made choices that lead to it and then I had to make choices not to be anymore. When you want to stop doing something, you can.

Your addiction, if you actually have one, isn't everyone else's problem. Remember that.

Sorry back, but I highly doubt you had addiction problems based on your statements. People like yourself who can chose and who can just snap out of it are not addicts. They are just heavy users/drinkers who can start and then stop when the consequences are great enough. Addicts CANNOT stop despite severe consequences. Abusing substances does not get you addicted IF you don't have the underlying conditions that are necessary to becoming an addict. The drug use is just a symptom of the disease. A program of recovery is what addresses the other 90% of the problem and gets to the core of why we had to use in the first place. Sorry, but I happen to know a lot about the topic and your comments are typical of someone who has never truly been on this side of the fence.

OK
A: You have no idea about anything in my personal life past, present, or future.
B: I am not going to publicly give any details about what I have been through.
C: I have seen complete heroin, coke, and meth addicts come clean and stay clean.
"The drug use is just a symptom of the disease." is partially true. Lots of addicts use to numb feelings of pain, but lets not leave out the people that just started out partying and kept partying till they became addicts.
Google Willimantic CT and 60 minutes. The town I grew up in has had the highest drug use per capita in the United States. I think I may have had more family, friends, school mates, and acquaintances suffering from serious addictions. As for your last statement you have no idea what you are talking about, or to who, and it is painfully obvious that you have no clue. I took responsibility for my actions, and if I didn't I wouldn't be here. Sorry if you are feeling personal guilt about someone close to you that you were not able to help, but people need to be accountable for themselves and not play the blame game. It isn't like it is some big mystery if you mess with addictive substances you can become addicted. If you can't figure that out please slap and sterilize yourself so that you don't reproduce.
Thanks for your time.

Ok, my turn to chime in here. I have had serious addiction problems. Crack cocaine, pharmaceuticals, pot, LSD etc. etc. I went to the twelve step meetings for many years. I worked the twelve steps, not just memorized them. Very early on I picked up on one really vital statement.."We may not be responsible for our addiction, but we are fully responsible for our actions and our recovery". I dug into my past. I saw myself for the a@@#$%e I was when the addiction ruled, I made amends, I got on board with a higher power, and I did service. Lots of service. In that process I realized fully and completely that the statement above that I learned very early on still applies. I am responsible. Not the drugs or booze or any person or circumstance. Not once did the drugs force their way into my body. I picked up the pipe or popped the pills or dropped the acid. My addiction compelled me to do it but I was always responsible for what happened.

Many people try to blame the drugs or the parents or the lack of parents or some **** life experience and justify it by saying it's a disease I can't help it. Bull crap. The stupid s@#$t I did on or off drugs is fully my responsibility and once I understood better the roots of my addiction and made amends to people I hurt (myself included) it was easier to stay clean. I've done the twelve steps several times and every time I peeled another layer of bs off myself and became more free. Today I feel no compulsion to use whatsoever. I can have a glass of wine with a fine cigar and feel no urge or need to do more. And I don't turn into a raving lunatic. I still say and do the occasional stupid or hurtful thing when I'm clean but I very quickly know when I've wronged someone and make amends quickly.

Charlie Sheen is an addict and even if he's clean like he says, he's on a dry high. His behavior is classic delusions of grandeur. He doesn't just need to get and stay clean. He needs to go through the process of realizing who and what he really is. In the program it's called humility. He needs to make amends for the trail of wreckage he's left behind. He needs to forgive himself for being an **** for all these years. He needs to get humble and find a higher power greater than himself. He needs to help others with similar problems. Only then will there be any kind of true healing. He's not hopeless. There is always hope. He's just so full of himself right now that he thinks he's the ultimate higher power. He may need to crash and burn so completely that his bottom is so low the only way out is up. I just hope for his and his families sake he doesn't die before he gets there.

Kelvin

PS...Clean since January 1, 1989

Ben, actually, addiction runs in my family but as a recovering addict myself I have accepted responsibilities for what I've done in the past and as a result of surrendering to the disease I have been clean since Oct. 20, 2008. This is a passionate topic for me so I offer my apologies to you for typing before thinking first. I do that stuff sometimes, but as they say, "progress, not perfection."

Kelvin: Like yourself, I am working the steps, I do service, I speak at meetings and my life is pretty awesome now. I believe the seeds of addiction are present in a lot of people and what makes the disease take root are things like bad childhoods, low self esteem, fear of responsibility, etc. Real addicts are screwed up folks who have to work hard to get better. Most people can deal with life's problems because of the skill sets they were brought up with. This addict had to learn all those things over from scratch. Please don't take this as an attack but I find this really interesting. Can you clarify for me how you can still use alcohol and consider yourself "clean?" From our literature:

"Thinking of alcohol as different from other drugs has caused a great many addicts to relapse. Before we came to NA, many of us viewed alcohol separately, but we cannot afford to be confused about this. Alcohol is a drug. We are people with the disease of addiction who must
abstain from all drugs in order to recover."

Like I said, I don't mean to offend you. I, personally, cannot ever consider having a drink, ever. Would I like to? Absolutely. I used to love my beer. But experience has shown me that sooner or later it almost always releases our addiction all over again and I never want to have to go through that pain again.

Addiction is a ****. My only addiction is Cigarettes and I have tried forever to quit. Don't get me wrong I did my share and a few others share of Weed and stuff but luckily it never took control. I applaud you both Kelvin and ROHfan for your sobriety and pray you both continue down a better path.

But Charlie is different. I think it is more mental than that. I think he has an imbalance. I have heard him on interviews with Howard and others and one minute he is good the next he is off the deep end.

I have known plenty of guys that were addicted to Cocaine Pharma's etc... and none were as over the top as he is.

I hope he gets it together before it's to late.

For the first 18 or so years I never touched alcohol either. I was never a booze pig like I was a drug pig. I smoked pot before I ever drank a drop and could always take it or leave it. If there were no drugs I'd rather abstain than drink and get drunk. Never liked being drunk and didn't like the feeling that booze gave me unless it was combined with a lot of drugs. I know the program literature and what it says about alcohol. My first glass of wine while clean was by accident. I took a drink of what was supposed to be alcohol free wine. It wasn't. Someone had given me the wrong glass. I thought "oh no what's going to happen? I've blown all those years of sobriety" but you know what? Nothing happened. Now I don't recommend this to any recovering addict but I thought what the hell. The deed is done and it was some very fine expensive wine. I sipped away at it for two hours. Didn't have another nor did I want one. Didn't have another for 6 months or so. No cravings either. Christmas dinner. Are you having wine? Hmmm ok one glass. Same thing. Sipped it for an hour and didn't want another. I had had a similar experience with quitting smoking many year ago. My brother was getting married and he was giving anyone who wanted it a fine Cuban cigar. I thought well, I'll try it and if it makes me want to smoke cigarettes I'll stop. It didn't. No desire to smoke at all. But once a month or so I enjoy a fine cigar and about every two months or so a glass of wine. Only fine cigars and only really good red wine. I enjoy them both for the flavor NOT any kind of buzz. I've seen many people crash and burn by having "just one drink". For whatever reason (maybe it's the long period of time and having worked the steps properly and exorcised my demons) I have no desire whatsoever to return to any of my old ways. I haven't had a craving to use in over 10 years. It's about 4 years now that I've had a glass of wine now and then and had no crash. Am I playing with fire? Maybe, but it sure doesn't feel like it. Have I used any drugs for the purpose of getting high or altering my mind or mood? None whatsoever. Do I recommend this to any addict. Not on your life. I haven't even mentioned any of this at a meeting (I almost never go anymore). If I thought (or any of the people around me because they know I'm an addict) for one second the wine was going to lead to anything else I would stop it in a heartbeat. The cigars too, or anything else for that matter (we'll leave audio addiction out of this because I chose to remain in denial) I'd stop in an instant. Your question was very valid and I don't share this answer lightly. I don't consider myself cured and safe to experiment but for whatever reason I have no urges to use at all. I'd say I'm lucky but honestly, I think I've just grown up.

Kelvin
