[I still care]

Junkies only do get concerned when they get caught, it is the nature of addiction. That is where the saying "bottoming out" came from.

I have known addicts to lose homes, families, fortunes and friendships. Many are very good people. People who have it all like Rush have a greater handicap because they can get by with it much, much longer than the average Joe because of their money. The drugs derange your mind - don't the first thing they always say goes is your judgement?

I know one man who had it all - a paid off house in a wealthy area, a business, two beautiful children and a lovely wife. By the time his addiction finished with him he was living out of a car with nothing. Only then did he go for help.

I live with chronic back pain, I know how easy it is to get addicted. I would never judge a person who was addicted to prescription pain killers harshly.

For a man with chronic back pain, Rush was constantly golfing and hobnobbing (the details of which his listeners have heard over and over).

How much golfing do you do with chronic back pain?
