What a waste

The Kardashian machine kills everything in its path.

Very sad

Sadly, he's been on this road for a long time.

Khloe must be devastated.

I feel bad for him... but don't. Addiction is a serious disease, and a lifelong one.

But he's in a very privileged position, with so much money and so many resources that very few have. With those things easily at his disposal, it doesn't sound like he actually wants to be better.

He was found unresponsive at a brothel after days of partying with the Bunny Ranchers. Sure, it's sad. It's pathetic. But this guy did this to himself.

I agree that it doesn't sound as though he wanted help.

Are you the same poster from the Scott Disket thread? Yes, money can assist in getting help, but obviously it's not the case.

No, I'm not that poster.

Step 1 in addiction is wanting to be better. It's extremely difficult of course, but without the 'want,' then anything else is completely futile. If Lamar (or any other wealthy, connected addict) really wanted change, they could easily have a team, network, and system in place to ensure their recovery. He has infinite resources at his disposal. Very clearly, Lamar does not want something different.

Stop with this AA BS.

I've worked with addicts for years. This is not always true. Plenty of programs work without 12 stepping your way to recovery.

He took herbal Viagra ? WTF ? That shit will kill you. With his money he could afford the real stuff.

So you're saying that someone can be forced to get clean against their will? In a sustained way, not just a forced 72-hour detox and then they relapse as soon as they're out?

We all have free will and choices in life. Some don't care.

I read they 'stabilized' him in the ambulance.

Does anyone know exactly what that means?
Does it mean he would have started breathing again on his own? Or that artificial means began his heart pumping again?

Sorry to be graphic, but I am always curious what 'stabilizing' means.
