Quote:What evidence do you have that he is addicted to anything and not just stupid?  Alcohol and drug use are not necessarily related.  As several posters have pointed out, marijuana is not addictive and does anyone on this board really know what "substance" caused his suspension?

 

Addictions come in many forms which can bring a person down. Food, which can cause obesity which can tremendous health problems. Sex, which can destroy relationships. Gambling, which can ruin a person financially. Drugs/Alcohol, which can cause a person problems with the law, and can kill themselves and potentially others. Usually the reasons that people have such a hard time quitting or changing their behavior is because they like the feeling they get from whatever addiction they have and feel they cannot get on with their lives without them. Everybody has something that they deal with and sometimes it gets the best of others. No one is exempt, because it could happen to anyone.

 

Of course JB made bad choices, or else he wouldn't be in the predicament and now he has got to want to climb out of this hole he has dug for himself to get headed in the right direction.
