The guy is a bum and a grifter. He belongs on the street.

Alcoholics don’t stop drinking until there is absolutely no other option. Sometimes, even then they don’t quit. Apparently, Ted still has options.

Homelessness is, plainly put, a mental illness. When a recently former homeless person suddenly has the wherewithal to not be homeless, he still has the same mental illness that played the role in their homelessness to begin with.

The winters are warmer down south, at least in comparison to Columbus, OH.

Ted Williams -- the homeless man with the "Golden Voice" -- has left rehab against medical advice, less than two weeks after checking in for drug and alcohol dependency .

Sobriety is a program of WANT, not NEED.

I say this as a recovering alcoholic of 14+ years.

Just as well.
Rehab is just a bunch of talk anyway.

Maybe they’ll find someone who deserves the job...like someone who has lost their job, but didn’t run to drugs and alcohol to lose themselves in. There’s plenty of people out there who have been thrown a curve ball in life, but didn’t find it necessary to lean on drugs and alcohol to get through every day.

How does this surprise anyone? Even some conservatives were taken in by this BS artist. The back story on this guy is that he was engaging in drug use and criminal activity right up until the time he was “discovered.” He had a semi-blind wife who was trying to raise kids alone who deserved the sympathy that he got.

This is a perfect example of why money won’t solve the homeless problem. Despite what the MSM and social services bureacracy wants you to think, the homeless are not “just like you and me” or average people who have fallen on hard times. They have pretty severe character defects—drug use, laziness, blaming others for their problems, a complete lack of personal responsibility. True, some are insane and should be re-institutionalized on a long-term basis but can’t be (thanks ACLU). But solving the “homeless problem” is more a moral and cultural issue than a money issue. The homeless have to change their thinking before giving them a hand will work. That is a huge task.

I’m not surprised but I’m still pulling for the guy.

He clearly has mental health issues and between a virtual lifetime of drug addiction and alcoholism the odds are stacked against him.

Hope he tries again soon before he falls too far back into the abyss and that one of his attempts is successful.
