[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

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

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Forget AA. If you don't actually desire to get clean, nothing else can happen. You can't force another sovereign adult to get sober.

Many people continue to be addicts despite wanting to get better, but it's because they don't have the resources or the support. Lamar has everything he could want or need within reach. Many addicts really do prefer that life[/quote]

And many want to get clean have the resources but can't... why? if we knew that answer we could take it to the bank.

But there are people that want to get clean but they can't, they try and try and try, but can't. [/quote]
