Another overpaid celebrity with too much time on his hands and utterly lacking in maturity. The guy has a hugely successful tv show which he is chronically in danger of losing. How stupid can he be? It’s not just the booze — it’s the broads and the idiotic behavior in general. He has some problems, but he’s not serious about getting help. He’s either going to hit rock bottom before he straightens out, or he is going to die at a young age. I would feel for the guy, but personally, I think it’s a waste to be sympathetic until he makes some sincere effort to get his chit together.

Back in the mid 1970s I had a two hour alcohol and drug awareness lecture given by a Catholic priest (on film) for Naval Reserve training. The good father made several unforgettable points:

1. It does no good to send an alcoholic or druggie to rehab or detox until they have decided to change their behavior.

2. A change in behavior comes from the realization that the alcohol and/or drugs are killing you.

3, This realization only comes when the abuser hits “bottom” and there is no more denial and no place else to go.

4. Unfortunately, far too many abusers never hit “bottom” and the booze and drugs kill them first.

Analysis: Charlie Sheen is deadman walking.
