    Those vicodin are a bitch to put down. I know from experience that in many ways the painkillers are the perfect drug for abusers. No muss, no fuss. You don't reek of booze, your clothes stay burnhole free and you don't need to cook.

    I wish him good luck in his effort to quit but I hope he waits to make a few trades with the Browns before he starts his 12-step program.

    Edit:

    He was charged with possession of Schedule IV drugs (i.e ambien, Xanax)

    Heard on the radio it was cocaine, could have been misreported also.

    none the less I know an alcoholics pimply red nose when I see one.

    He's a billionaire, doubt he's sweating too much about it.

  • Seperated at birth?

    He's 54 ... Looks like he's 74.

    Probably a hardcore addiction.

    Cut Peyton Manning and traded a first rounder for Trent Richardson ... So it's obviously working for him.

    Glad he didnt kill anyone. Why cant these ppl just go out the Seymore Hoffman way. By themselves with thier favorite drugs. He should get his ass handed to him by Goodell, but he is a pussy and will let this shit slide. It will all go away though. There will be free beer at the first home game.

    Even if he killed someone 30 days and probation maybe. Welcome to our society.

    Phillip Seymour Hoffman was a father with a family, and we idolize him even though he died with a needle in his arm.

    My family did that shit and it'd been different.

    the new american epidemic. prescrip pain meds.

    kids start out by delving in mom and dads medicine cabinet and start dropping oxy and vics. then when they realize that the street price per pill is more expensive than heroin they switch to H.

    another generation of zombies.

    one of my best friends is dropping $12hundred a month on that shit.

    The guy is 54, rich and still looks like the 70. His old man sold his soul to the devil, and he must have refinanced.

    Nor do I but keep in mind pity and empathy are two very different things. No one wakes up one day and has an epiphany that they would like to become an addict. I don't pity him, I do believe he is solely responsible for his actions. I feel he should be treated just like any of us as far as the legal implications as well.

    Having said that I deeply feel empathy for the demons he is fighting having been there myself. I am one of the lucky who have been clean for almost 25 years. Most aren't that fortunate , many die

    Amen to that bro, 21 months here 🙂 Many folks are very misinformed about addiction and alcoholism. I hope that Jim gets sobered up again he was ten plus years clean before he got a divorce last year (supposedly). All anyone can do to truly help someone who is an addict or alcoholic is not enable them, pray for them, and when the time comes and they truely want help give it. Irsay is just another prime example that all it takes is one drink and us alcoholics quickly end up with that mugshot or worse in no time flat.

    He has apparently lost a lot of weight lately, as he appears much more gaunt here than he has before. Maybe the booze and drugs does that?
