NicDwolfwood Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Best wishes to Papa Hetfield, addiction is a bitch. The press release from the band would suggest that James hasnt been completely sober since 01 like what was previous thought off. struggling on and off would mean he's fallen off the wagon plenty of times since his last public rehab visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac daddy ax Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) was he addicted to alcohol or drugs? Edited September 28, 2019 by Mac daddy ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Really sad for him and his family. Happy he's address it. Anyone up for Sober October? Will prolly still post this somewhere with more traffic, but it seems relevant to this thread. Its basically as simple as a group of people abstaining from drink and weed but there can be a points system or other challenged if the group wants!

I was sober for more than a year but I figured life is too short to live like a monk. Before that I drank one glass each day, which was too much. Now, I drink once a month, when we hold a party with family or friends. It breaks the routine somewhat I guess. But alcohol addiction sucks. you get fat, you're getting dependend on the substance and it damages your mind. Enjoy, but with measure and caution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadApples87 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Metallica's latest tour is boring. I saw them last year. I have seen them 5 times over the years. They were awesome live back in the 80's and 90's but they seem to have lost a step these days. I do, however, wish James a speedy recovery.

I have health reasons (liver) so I cant touch the stuff any more. Not worth it for me. As long as others can control their substances theres no reason why you cant enjoy it in moderation.

Axeli Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Sad. But have to say that mostly the sober rockstart's music turns to be boring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
