Well, he's gonna violently kill me because I'm not a member of his family, because BOOM, he's an F-18 Top Gun with fire-breathing fists and magic and poetry in his fingertips and shit stains or was it strafing runs in his underwear and his coffee cup, who knows...

I am thankful that I am NOT wealthy. I know I'd be dead by now....I think that's why God made me poor. :)

He says he's sober....so if he is....he's got delusional fantasies about his little "porn family"....that is just so bizarre to me. Sounds like he's a porn addict as well as other issues. yup, drinking & drugging are not his only issues. I pray he gets help. And Rick, he may very well just be a jerk! A jerk who needs assistance never the less...

Charlie Sheen is angry and he doesn't like AA.Those are the only two things I can say for sure about him. He may very well have deeper emotional issues that are coming out in his rants. But to call him crazy, delusional or in active addiction is irresponsible. Any comments about the state of either his sanity or sobriety are pure speculation at this point.

It is hard not to find a spoiled a-hole who grew up as hollywood royalty. I lived in LA for a bit, I sometimes would pray it would all sink into the ocean-very gently so as to not scare the a-holes, but the earth would be better off.

That was what I thought in my drinking days. I am so much nicer now.

There are a ton of A-holes in recovery. HELLO!!!!

I thought it was priceless when they reported he was doing his rehab on his yacht.
This shit don't care who you are,, he will fall.

That Charlie Sheen is a piece of work alright. He's a bit too cocky for his own good. But I still don't think he has a mental illness... just a difficult personality.

Hey nondrinker, thing is, he'll never be able to work out if he does have mental illness, get a diagnosis and get on the right medds until he gets sober and clean. That was my story.

I am truly disappointed by some of the remarks on this thread. We were/are all addicts here and I know there are things I did and or said when I was using that I'm not very proud of. I was sick at the time just like this poor man and many others we've seen in the media.

I saw a post on another website that summed up my feelings on this perfectly...

"It is not for you to judge the journey of anothers' soul. It is for you to decide who YOU are, not who another has been or has failed to be."

We should be sending him positive thoughts and prayers not passing judgment on his behavior. A little compassion.

Oh gosh oh golly I sure hope he feels better soon, oh man I just feel so terrible for him! Like that kind of compassion?

Drafter, I think that's sarcasm, not compassion. ;)

I just watched an interview between CS and an Australian journalist (I'm an Aussie and it was on our main commercial network - I daresay they paid him for it - they're loaded). It was some weird shit Man. Incomprehensible drivel. I'm just as bad watching it as the network arrnanging the interview I know, but it was compelling viewing. Someone ealier in this thread called him a train wreck and truly it is like that and me feeling guilty like driving past a car accident and having a look. But this is a human being disintegrating.

On viewing that (I haven't seen much of his interviews to date), I do think he might suffer from mental illness as well as the addictions - it takes one to know one (ie, me, I'm Dual Diagnosis).

But Man was he slamming AA - in every way possible. Of course he has every right to his opinion on that but there are many people around the world who would still think his opinion is worth something - not seeing how sick he is and just seeing his superstar status and that giving him credibility. So the sad thing is it may direct people away from AA - when it could have saved their lives. He banged on about the 20 years he's spent trying back and forth with AA and thus it doesn't work, however question remains Charlie - did you completely and utterly commit yourself to a course of action and go to any lengths to stay sober?? Me thinks not.

"Imagine one alcoholic judging another". Read that somewhere, quite an irony. I have to say I did judge others when I was newly sober. Afterall, I wasn't THAT bad. Utter crap. I can recall dozens of rants like that, if not worse. And one in particular which was aimed directly at my Supvr during the last drunken xmas party. Only difference with CS is he's got a wider audience. Lest we forget.

Grateful for those who greeted me without judgement. If CS comes knocking here, reaches out to help with a desire to stop drinking, that's good enough for me. I hope he does.

I watched his interviews (as much as I could take) today on the morning talk shows. I was really put off by his arrogance. But it's classic addict/alcoholic behavior. Brings the phrase "terminally unique" to a whole new level. He may put off some people from recovery, but he may equally inspire others toward it!

I agree - judge not lest ye be judged. I'm not worried about his sobriety. I care about my own and the people I am trying to help. You have to be willing, or it won't work. He doesn't really seem all that willing. :)

He says he stopped by blinking an eye. Just like that. His Tiger Blood and super-human brain power. Hey, if he's got all that, and it works, more power to him. I know that I don't have those things. I'm a mere mortal. And happy to be one too. It is good to know what you are.

I cannot believe he is not hospitalized-this is not alcoholism or drugs would be my thoughts.

Bipolar mania.......

Egads, he needs to get hospitalized-it is unreal no one will intervene.

It is a sad, destructive and very deadly disease. He's just a public example...there are millions of private ones every day. Just hope they can get help somehow, because it not only destroys them, but everyone around them.
