Greg Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I was listening to a long interview with him recently on the radio, and he was talking about his biggest fear in life, I almost posted it on this forum, I found it really interesting. When asked about his biggest fear, it was that he was afraid of suddenly relapsing -- even after all that clean time, he was afraid that suddenly he would just relapse. Just Like Phillip Seymour Hoffman, he was in rehab last month taking a proactive stance against relapsing. This might sound worrisome but it worried me what the residual affects of addiction.

Zerokewl Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Yah this shit ain't no game. I know with the cigarettes when I relapsed the addiction always came back with a vengeance stronger and stronger. People on redit are posting all this stuff about talking to your doctor about depression blah blah. When I quit adderall and when I was in the last months of using adderall etc I experienced that kind of black depression where sucide seemed like a logical solution. It seemed logical because we come hard wired with a permanent self destruct button that we can use at any time. People are always shocked when people die this way but why can we execute a kill command. Why doesn't our genetic API prevent a self destruct sequence? Robin must of been in a horrible place... I pray he has found peace in his decision. I pray I never relapse because I don't think I could rise from it again and I'm too much of a freak to be a high functioning addict. I pray for his children, I pray for his fans, I pray for any addict relapsing, I pray .... But when someone like Robin Willams, a fine sample of what it means to be human, commits the ultimate sin I question who I am praying to. RIP Robin Williams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perullo Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I actually found a really well-written article on Cracked.com that tackles the issue of comedy and depression: http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/robin-williams-why-funny-people-kill-themselves/ Yes, his problems likely stemmed mostly from addiction, but that addiction had to be driven by something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
