I have almost one year clean and sober in April 2011.

[Methecos]

All you [truly] ignorant motherfuckers need to stop cracking jokes about this shit. Drug addiction is a serious issue that has fucked up more lives than your high-ass brains can fathom. This scene itself stirred me into getting clean again. Y'all are probably gonna read this and think I'm some self-righteous punk stuck on his high horse, but I'm a real person who has been effected in more than one way by this shit.

Grow the fuck up and show some goddamn respect.

@Methecos i feel what you say, but you need to leave GOD outta this.

God on a relapse and watchin that made me cry...need 2 get back in the rooms, but so ashamed. Can't say what happened @ the last meeting i went to, a year ago, I was in blackout...then back 2 the asylum, then got told what i did @ mtg. Not good. If bubbs can do it, can i?

@smurfangelia777 Good 4 you!!!

I thumbed up this video because not one person in that room said the word "sober". Being "CLEAN" covers EVERYTHING!!!! I've bin clean in N.A. %100 now for over 15 years.

The lessons in the wire have relevance. Been having a struggle myself, while watching it. Sounds weird, but watching Bubbles helped.

Hope the meeting went well. It takes courage, but sounds like you are ready to make a change. All the best.

There are some videos here from right before he dropped out of sight - look for "Close Your Eyes" in the list on the right.

@MyNephewIsTough

Yes - He got clean in 1994, but had been doing drugs in various for since he was about 13. He dropped out of music for about three years when it got really bad... to the point that he pawned all his guitars and was essentially homeless. He got clean when he was locked up. In an interview he said filming this scene was great because it was like being in a meeting all day. Some of the extras were in the program. He is really playing himself here.

Was Steve Earle a dug addict in real life?
