My grandma was a 5'6 135 LB woman who never smoked and worked two jobs (one being a factory)....she died of cancer at age 60.....her brother very similar died at age 54 of cancer.
Not all cancer is a product of poor health choices.
...to add my thoughts and inquiries to the discussion. I think that's the same type of reason you asked me this question...is it not?queencitybuckeye;1575800 wrote:Then why did you bring it up?

Philip Eatmore Herion - No sympathy.
I92's Grandma and great uncle - Sympathy.
It was tragic what occurred to your family.
Preventable what PSH did to his family, selfish.
I don think you need to feel sorry for him.....but simply understanding the power of addiction and appreciating what it can do to individuals who struggle with it can go a way in the empathy department.Scarlet_Buckeye;1575829 wrote:Great actor? Yes.
Sad to see him go? Yes.
Feel sorry/sympathy for him? No. I don't feel sorry for anyone who uses (especially OD's) on drugs.

he is an adult. he knows what drugs can do to him and his family. hell, why else would he have gotten sober if he knew drugs weren't bad for him?reclegend22;1575721 wrote: It's not like he was planning to leave his kids behind when sticking that needle in his arm. He was (apparently at the time) alone and sick and probably an emotional wreck. Addiction is a disease.

If you simply write it off as oh well, piss on him for doing that to himself, well, your emotional maturity stopped progressing at 13 and you'd probably be of no help to people who need it

He got clean because his addiction had begun to grip him so tight that he was fearful for his life. Simply deciding to get help and quit however does not stop the addiction that lives inside of the addict. It's an ongoing disease that must continually be monitored. As the history of substance abuse demonstrates, the disease, even when dormant for decades, can break out of remission at any time. In this case, apparently PSH took some pain medication for reason or another and ultimately that triggered the addict within to resurface.Glory Days;1576072 wrote:he is an adult. he knows what drugs can do to him and his family. hell, why else would he have gotten sober if he knew drugs weren't bad for him?
Except you cant blame the first time he shot up was because he was addicted.reclegend22;1576271 wrote: It's not always a case of "wanting to be cool."

I mean really, is it not common knowledge that drugs, especially ones like heroin are addictive? He damn well knew the risks when he started. He played with fire and got burned.
To be fair, he takes the most extreme cases to attempt to help, therefore his failure rate is high.reclegend22;1576272 wrote:Inb4 "Thanks, Dr. Drew."
