it doesn't matter what any of us think or believe. it is a slow suicide. I've been dealing with the effects of this disease for over two decades now with various friends and family. ask any alcoholic/addict. they will tell you themselves.

So sad...watched him on "Celebrity Rehab." He couldn't run away from the demons haunting him that made him feel he let his best friend, Layne Stayey die. RIP

Maybe this might catch Charlie's interest?

Former Alice In Chains Bassist Mike Starr: In Memoriam
Posted 58 minutes ago by Kyle Anderson in Music
On Tuesday afternoon (March 8th), former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr was found dead in Salt Lake City, Utah. The founding member of the seminal Seattle band was 44 years old and had struggled with addiction his entire life. His passing sent shockwaves through the rock world, and his death has devastated friends, fans and his former bandmates. In recent years, Starr had become more famous for his stint on "Celebrity Rehab" than he ever was as a musician, but his legacy as a key member of Alice in Chains should not be understated.

The core sound of Alice in Chains was as much about Starr as it is about Jerry Cantrell's guitar sludgy guitar licks or late singer Layne Staley's wails from the crypt. The low end of the sonic spectrum was not as important to a lot of the other bands who came up during that era (Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament always seemed like he'd be more comfortable in a jam band, while Nirvana four-stringer Krist Novoselic mostly provided color for Kurt Cobain's guitar riffs, "Come As You Are" notwithstanding), but in order to nail Alice in Chains' particular brand of brutality, Starr's bass was key. The brutality on the low end was terrifying, and the punch of early Alice in Chains hits like "Man in the Box" would be impossible without Starr's muscular chops.

I'm all for lots of sex and money, but why keep up with the drugs? You're having lots of sex and have lots of money. You don't need the drugs...

I think the main problem here is having access to too much too soon. If you can get coked out and buy a whore at age 16, imagine what level of debauchery you will need to get off at age 46. Plain old sex and money is boring after that many years of orgies, drug binges, excess and utter hedonism. He needs to work harder and harder to get the same high.

About Haiti trip with Sean Penn from Radaronline
.........Asked about the rumors he's gonna accompany pal Sean Penn to Haiti to aid in the country's ongoing relief efforts, Sheen said they're "100 percent true," though he's not sure when he'll be going there.


Sheen said when he arrives in Haiti, he's willing to do "whatever is asked of me, whatever I can do to deliver a little faith [and] put a smile on a few faces."

When asked if he was excited about that Penn's rumored love interest, actress Scarlett Johansson, was going to be in Haiti as well, Sheen joked, "Scarlett's coming on the trip? Rally the goddesses!" adding he thinks the actress is "brilliant and beautiful."

Asked what advice he has for the actors who are rumored to be taking his spot on Two And A Half Men (reportedly Lowe and Full House hunk John Stamos), Sheen implied no one will be able to fill his shoes on the show, which made him TV’s highest-paid actor ever.

Charlie wasn't but Mike Starr (bassist for Alice in Chains) was. Mike was found dead yesterday.

Wake-up call for Charlie? I'd love to think so but doubt it.

I was pulling so hard for him. Sadly it doesn't surprise me. He almost made it. Thats the problem with junkies. They get clean and stay clean for a long time then if they relapse, they tend to use the same amount of the drug they used to use before but now their cleaned up bodies cannot handle the old dose. He was so tortured. I hope now he is at peace. This was so heartbreaking.

exactly. and then there are those who admit that they wanted to die but didn't have the guts to do it at their own hand.



thats why its a disease. there is no logic to it. its not about happiness. its about covering up sadness so one does not have to feel it. its about filling the gaping hole in their heart. addicts need to change their way of thinking and learn that its okay to feel emotional pain.

And to all posters, I don't make up the rules about addiction. I've just learned so much about this disease for almost half my life so its important to pass on what I know to others so people can know the truth.

You sure do know a lot about it. Thanks for your posts and helping me to understand.

Well from what I read Charlie stole his father's credit card out his wallet and bought his first whore at 15. Can't fight Adnonis DNA. It's a curse. Really.
