One that really surprised me, until I really thought about it: Tom Waits.
“I think maybe when you drink, you’re probably robbing yourself of that genuine experience, even though it appears what you’re doing is getting more of it. You’re getting less of it. And it takes a while, when you’ve had a rock on the hose like that for so long. It takes a while for the hose to be a hose again, you know, and for things to start flowing.”

As someone who grew up during the 1990s and watched pro wrestling for pretty much all of it and a few years into the 2000s, gotta give a shout out to DDP: “Diamond” Dallas Page.
Guy didn’t even START pro wrestling til his mid-30s, and became a top talent, which is inspirational in itself.
However, he has spent his post-wrestling days helping fellow former wrestlers dealing with addiction and debilitating injuries.
It is SHOCKING how many wrestlers from my youth have died from either an outright overdose, or from a health condition/event resulting from years of hard living. Guys only in their 40s or 50s. I’ve known about this for a long time, but it’s at the forefront right now as there’s a few series I watch that focus on the wrestlers of the 80s/90s and their troubles (Dark Side of the Ring, A&E Briography: WWE Legends).
This guy helped save Jake “The Snake” Roberts. Scott Hall (for a little while), Marcus “Buff” Bagwell, Scotty Riggs, Butterbean (boxer), and plenty of non-celebrities through his yoga and clean living program.
Really amazing what he’s doing.

I couldn’t believe this either. A few guys in work told me about Dark Side, so Ive been trying to catch up on them. Unreal, it’s actually heartbreaking how bad off some of my childhood heroes had gotten. I really had no idea. Love what DDP has done to help though

It’s an amazing series. Check out the Biography one too if you can get it. I prefer Dark Side though.
This season there’s one on The Sandman. That old school ECW shit was wild, and so was he.

I will. I just watched the Bam Bam one.
ECW was based right in Philly where I grew up, and I was out of it by then so I never got to one of them. But we were at the spectrum for WWf all the time. So I I seen all those guys live in was awesome

He overdosed on something back in the 2000s that almost killed him. Not sure if it’s opioid or not.
Just out of curiosity. Did you watch the New Jack one. I watched it last night when I couldn’t sleep. I remember it being bad, but good God man.

For me, it’d have to be Terry Crews since 2018. I always marveled at how someone in a celebrity standing such as his could be open about his former addiction to sex and pornography. I was baffled and figured that something so taboo in society could ultimately be a black eye or a stain on his career moving forward. Him being brave enough to admit that made me start to see faults that I had with self. It is still on my to-do-list to listen to his audiobook where he openly talks about such things.
I didnt know the right way out of my addiction then, though, so for me there was still a choatic path of years of acting out, white–knuckling, relying on my own willpower, keeping it secretive, lying, shame, guilt and all of the things that come with the territory of addiction. One of the things I struggle with is how I didnt feel like the things I’ve done could positively impact another person, as if my story and journey can’t be used as a tool to impact others in a profound way. I still struggle with the concept of purposefulness in my life and what that looks like for me but I know my HP with gradually reveal that to me.
