Philip Seymour Hoffman is dead

[BDBoop]

Hoffman was clean for 20 years, until about a year ago, when he went into rehab.

Yup. You're never safe. Ever.

My sister has been sober well over thirty years, and when things get really bad - she wants a drink.

I've been sober for just over five years, and you always have that craving. Most of the times its not there, but it just requires something to set it off, and your tastebuds go mental. They can remember the taste, see. They never forget.

and that is the main problem. it's for life.

guys, you, the ones who KNOW, should be the ones in the front lines AGAINST legalization of any of this crap...
and you were tempted into it while very young, because the very young are the target market for this.

If you pass a 30 year mark ( or even earlier) without ever trying anything of that poison - you will never get tempted ( it's almost 100%) and if you get seduced earlier - you will always have to know that the dark temptation can hit you from behind any time life gets hard.

Build any defense you can have against the temptation - while you don't need it.

Hope you never will have to battle it. Ever.

So strong that he probably got a hot shot, which wouldn't have happened with pharm grade stuff.

I wonder if he would have realised that in the seconds before his passing. It could have been an air bubble in the needle, too, that killed him. I guess they will do an autopsy and see exactly how badly the addiction had a hold of him.

No air bubble. He got a hot shot.

There has been a lot of that going around the east coast lately.

Then it was a murder, not an overdose.

good riddance to a stupid ******* liberal, i hope his kids don't follow their sperm donator, sometimes called a "father"!!

The lights will be dimmed on Broadway this Wednesday for one minute in honor of Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Your signature says you are "fighting Liberal values". After reading this post, I wonder what kind of values you have. You certainly haven't made any argument that any sane person would read and think, "I should listen to and follow his example." You must just be a weak minded little girl.

So, why do you think women are weak minded?

Modern day American glorifies drug use so those celebrities that die of drugs are glorified too. They are made into heroes for the young. To be admired.

I always wonder why it's "tragic" when a rich actor who can get all the help in the world dies of a drug overdose and it's no big deal when a kid who runs away from an abusive home dies in the street of a drug overdose.

Seems to me we have out priorities ass backwards.

**** this guy I say.

And another one...

Yeah another person pointing out a fact.

Sad that someone so talented had to be found dead with a needle in their arm.
So successful but so sad.

And fifty bags of heroin and multiple other drugs.

Strange thing about this to me is that he was a Hollywood high roller.

Why would he not have been getting pharmaceutical grade morpheme, dilaudid or whatever, rather than smack off the street?

Smack off the street was probably stronger. Whoever his dealer was would surely have known who they were selling it to?

There is nothing stronger than a hotshot.

air bubble in the needle won't kill you.

Oh really.

I've been sober for just over five years, and you always have that craving. Most of the times its not there, but it just requires something to set it off, and your tastebuds go mental. They can remember the taste, see. They never forget.

Ahh you're drunk. That explains a lot.

Then it was a murder, not an overdose.

No it was death by dumbass.

Few here, maybe none, knew Hoffman personally. If you're feeling sad when someone you never knew dies you need to seriously re-examine who you're coming to feel close to. Actors' characters aren't them, but many who fall into this cult of celebrity make the mistake thinking they are. That they know these people. But chances are you didn't know the first thing about him, or any other celebrity. It's nice to appreciate, but when appreciation becomes delusions there's a problem.

In Hoffman's case, he died because he was stupid. At some point way back he had the chance not to try heroin or other toxic drugs but chose to risk it. Now he's dead because of that decision. Oh well. Are pleanty of people in the world to feel sympathy for who meet tragedy through no fault of their own. Feel sorry for them, but don't feel sorry for stupid people.

What? I never mentioned women!

I just feel sorry for all of us because Hoffman was such a damned fine actor.

Hollywood morns yet another loss to the industry and is holding a candlelight

The police are looking for the dealer that sold Hoffman the heroin laced with painkiller that's been killing so many users on the East coast. It's a wonder it hasn't spread across the country by now. Hoffman had 70 packets of the stuff. He must have been afraid he would run out.

And, heroin use is increasing, as is meth. Probably other hard drugs as well.

 

[Katzndogz]

IF we just got rid of the stigma of drug addiction, legalized drugs and started drug use with marijuana at an early age, we wouldn't have overdose deaths.

Right, libs?

Typical of you to ignore reality in favor of bullshit.

A very selfish person
He had a job
Many people would love to have
He had no money worries
Go to the best restaurants
Had a wife how adored him
Had three children who respected him
People looked up to him
What does he do......

Selfish person.
