Eh. Even addiction experts will say that this line of black and white thinking is both tricky, somewhat outdated and for many addicts may serve to be counter-productive. The reality is that its a little bit of BOTH. Like many, many things that effect us there are elements of "nurture" and "nature" that can go into that pathology. Because part of the 'cure' if you will IS a decision making process, every day, to live a lifestyle. It is, therefore, unique from other diseases in that respect that do have a more black and white sort of pathology. There was a piece last year in the Atlantic about the research being done where there is a negative effect with some addicts in the whole "I am powerless over XXXX" being a per-requisite for sobriety. |
NP. Are you this awkward in social situations, too? FFS, move on already if you don't care. He was actually a talented basketball player, despite all his demons. This is the ENTERTAINMENT forum, not off-topic or parenting or food. If you don't care about pop culture and its participants, why are you here? Sports and reality TV are part of pop culture. So anyway, DCUM's attitude on addiction is straight out of the 1930s. Shameful. |
source? i don't see this anywhere. |
some weird website called "tmztoday" (NOT tmz) said that, but it's not anywhere real. |

I bet Khloe and all the hags are rushing to his side with camera men filming it all.
They wreck any man that has anything do with them. Scott, Bruse and now Lamar. |
| Last update I can see if that he's in a coma. Could've happened over night. |
I don't care for the Kardashians, but you don't make another person a drug addict, transgender, or alcoholic. Those men are responsible for their own life and choices. It never ceases to amaze me how men will blame women for everything. Everyone has vices and issues. You make your own choices. |
Well, you have posted here multiple times yourself so why not answer your own question? |
+1 |
Really who cares. Aren't they all the same sort of thing? |
Whoosh! |
I agree with this. And I think the Kardashians are sort of ridiculous, but you never hear of them having issues with addiction/drinking/etc. They seem focused on their businesses, their family, and marketing themselves. Annoying? Sure. But at least they aren't addicts and hangers-on. |

1014-lamar-odom-tmz-01 Lamar Odom had cocaine in his system and track marks on one of his arms ... so claim witnesses at the hospital where Lamar lies unconscious. The witnesses tell TMZ ... doctors have determined the former NBA star had cocaine and opiates in his system. We're told doctors have told people close to Lamar the fluid they found in his lungs was the result of crack cocaine use. We're also told several of Lamar's party friends have come to the hospital to see him but they were turned away. |
I sincerely hope they don't try to capitalize off of this. Also I don't think they wreck men, but they do seek damaged men. |
The "sources" are J.R. Smith and L'il Wayne. Truly credible, you know? http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/smith-lil-wayne-send-rip-messages-lamar-odom-article-1.2396742 |
