Eminem

Eminem has struggled with alcoholism :”I wish I was wired like a regular person and could go have a f*ckin’ drink. But that’s the biggest thing about addiction: When you realize that you cannot f*ck around with nothing ever again. I never understood when people would say it’s a disease. Like, ‘Stop it, dickhead. It’s not a disease!’ But I finally realized it really is.”

T.I.

T.I. struggled with addiction to oxycontin and hydrocodone after undergoing oral surgeries. He describes what addiction is like: “It starts with you on the inside Fake vacheron constantin, I can give all the advice in the world, but at the end of the day you just got to make that decision internally with yourself. You have to see that you are ready to make a change. Until that moment comes, all advice in the world is going to be in vain cause I’m going to be talking to a brick wall. Everybody can tell you what you need to do, how to do it, when you need to do it, how bad you need to do it, but until you get that right ass whipping, as they say, and until you have hit rock bottom or have seen something in yourself that is so out of character and it displeases you so much that you just have no choice but to change it … then you ain’t going to see it.”

 

Russell Brand 

Russell Brand, who has previously struggled with alcohol and drugs, says that addicts should be treated differently: “We need to review the way society treats addicts For bentley watches, not as criminals but as sick people in need of care. We need to look at the way our government funds rehabilitation. It is cheaper to rehabilitate an addict than to send them to prison Replica franck muller watches, so criminalisation doesn’t even make economic sense.”

 

Melanie Griffith 

Melanie Griffith struggled with addiction to painkillers and found that her husband had difficulties supporting her: “I’m sorry to say, that’s in his mind. I started on pain pills when I hurt my knee skiing and just kept taking them. The kids knew; Dakota and Stella called me on it. Antonio was in London at the time. I went away to rehab for three months; it took 10 days just to detox. We had two family weeks there, but we didn’t follow through. Antonio was supportive to the extent that he can be, but if you’re not an alcoholic or drug addict, and you find out that your wife is a bad one, it’s hard to deal with. As long as I’m okay Complications watches, he’s okay. I wish he would go to a meeting with me or to Al-Anon, but it’s very foreign to him. Addiction runs in my family but not in his.”

 

Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne says that when she was addicted to drugs, she often didn’t want to wake up: “I woke up one day and I couldn’t believe that I was hoping that if I took a bit more that I wouldn’t wake up in the morning. And that’s what really scared me. I was just like I can’t believe I have become this person. This is who I am. And this is what I sat in my bedroom by myself praying for. It’s a huge wake-up call. You know, I spent most of my teenage years messed up and miserable. And I had one of two options: die or sort myself out. I chose to sort myself out.”

 

Lady Gaga 

Lady Gaga says she used to take cocaine because she was lonely: “I think that I was lonely and there was something about the drug that made me feel like I had a friend. I regret every line [of cocaine] I ever did. Don’t ever touch it. It’s the devil.”
