When DJ AM died, I didn't care , the man survived a plan crash and then a year later OD'ed, how fucking stupid can you get? I know he was an addict, I am in recovery and have been for years. I started using when I was 13, first pills, pot and alcohol, then harder drugs and MORE drinking, by the time I was 16 I couldn't get up without some kind of Upper, couldn't sleep without some kind of downer unless I crashed or passed out. I missed so much school in one semester that they kicked me out! My parents got me back in, and I was on academic probation for the rest of the year. I didn't go to college right out of high school because I didn't know HOW I would get my drugs and that was the most important thing in my life! So I fully know what it's like to be an addict, you are never fully recovered because ANYTHING can set you back and cause you to use again. I wish I could make stupid people who throw around the words "addict" and "addiction" actually understand what it is like and NOT EVERYTHING is an addiction. I have heard lately how "anorexics and bulimics are addicted to FOOD, lol. One, I don't know that you can actually call either of those addicts but they surely aren't addicted to FOOD, especially anorexics, if you want to classify them as anything it would be addicted to CONTROL. Overeaters are addicted to FOOD. Addicts have NO CONTROL over their addiction, many want to stop, it's very painful, both physically and mentally to be an addict, when you want to get sober. And any treatment centers I was every involved with, you first worked with your own addiction one on one with councilors and group with people with the same or similar addictions, then a mix of them. I have worked with alcoholics, drug addicts, gamblers, and one sex addict, even overeaters, but never anorexics or bulimics they had their own "world" because they aren't addicts, at least not in the same sense. So DJ AM died, supposedly because he felt guilty that he lived when others died, and that caused his addiction to be worse. But before his death he worked with MTV to help get other addicts clean, I saw the promo for it today, and finally felt empathy for him. I still think he was stupid, but I understand the life of an addict, and I saw how he TRIED to help others even if he couldn't help himself. The show started airing on Oct. 12, I just hope, in light of his death now maybe he can truly reach those addicts. Here is the link to a promo for the show: http://bit.ly/16ixJC
