Damn, didn't think that was going to happen for him.  Must be lots of folks out there praying for him.[/quote]

I am one of them. He has been through enough pain already, deserves a happy life.[/quote]

+1 but I'll add productive life with a focus on his family and spirituality. Neither brothel nor drugs will be the answer to his search to end the pain.[/quote]
+2. I hope this is what he needs to turn his life around. I want him to get clean, get back with Khloe and for Khloe to get rid of the cameras in that part of her life.

Can't explain it especially since I don't care for the Kardashians, but there is something about Lamar that has me rooting for him.(Kanye too)[/quote]

He did some serious damage to his internal organs so his life could be very different even if he does survive.  If he has to go on dialysis or if his heart and/or liver were badly damaged he will have no choice but to make some fairly drastic lifestyle changes.

Certainly his brothel days are almost certainly over.  Guy is only 35.[/quote]

He doesn't *have to* do anything.

My sister has been on life support twice...both times we thought she had finally hit rock bottom. We were wrong. Being in a medically induced coma followed by a few weeks on a ventilator and another week in the hospital (yep, one full month in the hospital) was a swell detox, and she stayed clean for six months until life got "hard" again (hard ranges from a job loss or getting her period and having bad cramps...seriously).

I hope he gets his life together and stays clean, but my experience is it's a 50-50 chance.

I just hope Scott doesn't get any bright ideas and attempt an OD in an effort to get Kourtney back. [/quote]

I can't imagine that you could put your body through all of that - literally going on life support TWICE because you overdosed your body with drugs - and bounce back to the same old, same old bad habits.  Yes, of course they can choose not to change their lifestyle but they won't be able to do that for long.  It is going to be the death of them.  Plus, their health is not going to be the same after an episode like this - you can't fry your vital organs like that and expect to feel fabulous.[/quote]

They don't bounce back to 100%. They are a shell of their former self. They aren't as sharp or quick. They have medical issues. It's not pretty.

The hospital detox helps. Their bodies heal. But most addicts will hit a bump down the road and start up again.

If he has an entourage of enablers, then he will relapse. That's probably how he got where he is to begin with. And why Rob is where he is. [/quote]

Yeah.  He's probably done some permanent irreversible damage to his body.  It IS sad especially since he had the resources to get help and all the reasons in the world to want to get help.

I understand that addiction is tough.  But this guy most certainly did have choices, he just chose very unwisely.[/quote]
