Hetfield back to rehab... tour canceled.

I believe there's better help available when you're rich
I also believe the external worries about having to stay away from work are less, when you're your own employer, and you're already set for several lifetimes.

But as someone who definitely drank too much a longer period of my life, the quitting itself is the same.

Although; The possibilities of getting your mind and attention on something else, are better when you can travel to a private resort, than when you're stuck in your own living room, because you can't afford to travel around the corner. The guys saying quitting is just as hard when you're rich are right, but the guys saying better help is available with no budget are also right

When you actually decide that you need help.

Last time i come into this thread, some are swift to take someones opinion and throw stones, hence the word ignorance" FOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x 10 MFs!!! You do not know me or my life's dealings with addiction yet because i for one know that money changes everything, let me explain it for the superior minds in here. If your broke and on the street are you in a rigtalk forum searching for information on gear and buying shit? pretty simple example yet it may be hard for some not to argue. No it isn't consider a state of wealth ,Its an example, . Not a genius to figure that out, but as mentioned ignorance is rampant". having wealth may make it harder to get off an addiction,it does provide you with bigger and more luxurious surroundings, medical attention, and yes better drugs. had i had wealth i probably wouldn't be here. Wanting to quit" no its not that easy as someone derailed with harsh sarcasm , Until you do not want to do it anymore you do not want to quit" Is it that easy? I doubt it. its a fact. Do you go get azzbanged if you don't like how it feels? I doubt it. I was fortunate to reach a point i didn't enjoy being high anymore, and that took a long time to come to terms with! Actually i resisted it and tried to understand WTH, after several years i accepted it. I consider myself lucky, I accepted i i didn't like being high on street drugs or Rx drugs It's just that simple? I doubt it! i know this, i did drugs i felt miserable while on them. So did i want to quit? And no i didn't hire a palm reader or exorcist. i do not know JH, i know he has wealth beyond my knowledge. A medical condition/JAIL or death ,or his being sick of the impairment will probably be what stops him. Lets hope! Being broke? i agree with "hitting rock bottom" being a possible end to it. However from my own experience , no car , no home , no bank account a job and then being broke in 2/3 days didn't stop me, but i guess that,s probably not rock bottom. For the panhandlers , doing drugs maybe that's not rock bottom either, maybe we can argue that point as well. Addiction is tough and takes no prisoners with or without wealth. I hope he gives it up for all hes got to be thankful for. But maybe that's ignorance on my part.

Wonder if we will get a "Some Kind of Monster 2" now ha. Those 'band meetings" in that show were funny

I don't know... I'd rather say there are more people around you claiming they can help.
It's not really medicine where you have expensive treatments who do work, but cost an arm and a leg.

As someone already said, an addiction is in your head. As long as you cannot get it out of there, money could even be conter-productive cause it makes sure suply is not really an issue.

It's a decision that YOU have to make that you are done. YOU have to be over it. YOU have to bottom out.

I put myself into a four day coma. Then I woke the fuck up and said. No more I am done, and committed to that. I have never gotten tempted to go back. Nor do I want to. I keep my hospital bracelets by my bed in case I ever forget.

After that you can succeed. It's not easy. I would have loved a cushy rehab. I went to salvation army for three months. And that's not bad compared to a lot of others.

Addiction of any kind is no joke and alcohol has got to be one of the worst ones because of the constant reminder and fact that everywhere you go, it is in plain site and reach. That has got to be hard for someone who mentally is not feeling 100%. I def. feel for him in this regard and wish him the best.

Now that said, how about we lighten things up a bit? I wonder if the day in day out of playing the same old shit with that horrible AxeFX tone finally drove him to the bottle? They seem to be one of the few bands who sound like shit using the Axe. They also don't sound that tight to me anymore and the whole thing is stale. Maybe stepping away from the money for a while and focusing on some other hobbies or a solo career might do him some good. Time for Kirk and Lars to stop getting a free ride for being sloppy and uninspired. New beginnings, sink the old ends.

AA/NA is free, and it's got a pretty good reputation for doing alot of good for alot of people. In fact, some of the best resources cost nothing.

Good for you. I've know people who woke up from a coma, checked themselves out of the hospital AMA and went to the nearest bar.

You got five cents in your pocket.
Or five million in the bank. When your grabbed by it...
Will take you down. I’ve been struggling for years personally.
Wish I could snap my fingers. Make it go away.
Just not that easy. For some maybe. For others not quite.

Hope things get better and you eventually can shake it for good. Just know there are tons of people out there who have dealt with it or have family members that have dealt with it. Addiction is addiction and there are people out there that wouldn't give a bottle of water to a drug addict but are blowing their families' earnings in a casino or weigh 800 pounds. None of us are immune or can point fingers. Keep your head up high dude.

Thanks man. The simple ‘drink after work’ becomes daily.
One turns to 2.... etc
I got my annual physical coming up.
Been winding it down. Going ok.
I could not imagine trying to kick drugs if booze is this hard.

 

[riffsfordaze]

Fukemup Mailman... and everyone else that struggles with these demons. Rich or poor!

 

[Mailman1971]

Ya. My whole family knows I got issues.
Lot of bad shit happened when I was in the military for 13 years.
Booze kinda numbs it. I do get treatment.
But pills and talking don’t replace few shots.
