Show me the pathogen that causes addiction. Addiction is weakness. Nothing more. LOL How many '2nd chances' can he get? He's next to go. I am shocked. I am still trying to figure out what her "talent" is, other than to be outspoken. When a person is active in their addiction, you don't think about others but only themselves.
To all of you freaking out about the racist comment: You people honestly still don't know what a Troll is do you? Now THAT is ignorance. I even had orian on my leg even then had one show up under my arm.
O save me the imbar no did than the 60s ru missing someeeeeething an further mmmMmmmmmm o r. Whats funny about all this, is that there is a slew of stars, musicians, actors, etc.
Take Samuel L. Jackson for example. Go Whoopi! Nice to have a voice for people in Charlie's situation. I have faith he will dig himself out of this. Straight as a arrow? Having seen her loopy as hell on The View, very similar to Danny DeVito's Lemoncello still drunk episode, she hasn't been straight long.
Wow CNN — do you see 50? Also it helps to just to identify a post as deleted instead of totally removing it. Whoopie's concern is about drawing attention to herself, not about showing empathy for Charlie.
There's no reason she should share those kinds of details about her addiction unless she's speaking at an NA meeting. She's as narcissistic as they come save Kayne. Whoopi's reply wasn't about her More likely than not, it was to stop the non-sensical drivel of her co-hosts who always have an opinion about something they have no experience to back up. What she said was absolutely correct in terms of pointing out how low you have to go to WANT to seek help.
Good Luck Charlie! You need it. Addiction is a devastating disease and very few who have never been there have an adequate enough understanding to relate or to have any real compassion for.
Of course, i the comments section it is a battle of who can make the snarkiest comment, who can level the most direct petty insult. I have known many addicts with more class than the majority of those of comment here. Judge way, hypocrites.
Judge away, for someday you may be judged yourself by your "peers". No, it is not a disease. That's what addicts want to hear to make them feel better. It's not my fault, I have a disease!!! Congratulations on never having been addicted to anything. Telling someone who is going through withdrawal because they're actually trying to kick the habit that they're just trying to refuse responsibility for their actions seems a bit That's why some people can do a line of coke a few times and never go back and some people end up in prison for stealing in order to purchase more coke.
It's pathetic that in there are still so many ignorant, racist individuals. Hate is born of ignorance and what goes around comes around. Those that choose to hold their fellow man in contempt will get a healthy dose of Karma. Elvis Costello said it best — "What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Most addicts can function while on matinence doses of opiates. The disfunction starts while going thru withdrawal.
Proof positive that ignorance is still alive and well. Sad isn't it? Shame on CNN for allowing such drivel. The one with the ugly responses is probably one person with several screen names, who is not working and hates themselves so much that they have to suggest the worst about everyone else. We will all pray for your recovery because there is clearly something very wrong with you.
Alot of tough talk here i guess its safer since we are on the computer racists white men never want to go toe to toe with black folks he always has to have a cowardly advantage. Cha-Ching — it's not just the white man. I'm white as a ghost and racism makes me sick. All races have a percentage of haters. There are white people who are idiots and racist — there are also black people who are racist and stereotype all white people as racist. That is not the case and is a big part of the problem.
If all of you are going to make comments regarding an article you have read, could you at least learn to spell and use proper English? It's hard to take any of you seriously when you're educational background is in question.
Don't question others educational background when you can't even distinguish between you and you're. You're means you are as in you're an idiot. I don't always agree with some statements that Whoopi has said on the View.
Some statements were way over the top for me. But on this, I want to go on record by telling Whoopi thank you for your honesty. Finding yourself in that state of addition is very difficult. Trying to get through to Mr.
Sheen and people that are in the middle of addition, is the first step. Is anyone surprised at this statement by Whoopi. It has been apparent that something is wrong with this idiot just by her actions while on the 'View".
However I would think that everyone except maybe Elizabeth on the 'View' are high on something illegal. Really Danny? So Sheri Shepard is high on something? Joy Behar? Barbara Walters? Come on! Whoopi is just an up-front person on the show and has not exhibited one iota of a clue she may be under the influence.
I appreciate her honesty! I worked and lived at a drug rehab facility for a year as a resident counselor. Whoopi is right that Charlie Sheen is not anywhere near rock bottom. Non-addicts idea of rock bottom is a lot prettier than those in active addiction. I'm glad Whoopi knows enough to remind her coworkers that their condemnation is not going to affect Mr. Sheen at all. It's HIS responsibility and he may very well die before he hits rock bottom. I pray for his and his family that the light will come on before its too late.
AND I think the film crew should get severance or something or released from their responsibilities so they can find other work. Not sure of their obligations in this case. For days on end he would lie upon the sofa in the sitting-room, hardly uttering a word or moving a muscle from morning to night. On these occasions I have noticed such a dreamy, vacant expression in his eyes, that I might have suspected him of being addicted to the use of some narcotic, had not the temperance and cleanliness of his whole life forbidden such a notion.
Whoopi is a high functioning addict. Really, Am I the only one who's seen her work. There is nothing high functioning about any of it, save 'Ghost'.
WAS a high functioning drug addict. You sound so uneducated. Come to think of it.. That where she was prolly on the stuff.. You are probably scared of black folks because you think they are ruining your life somehow. They arent. You are. Take responsibility folks. As for the article, I think whoopis admission was brave and she's right about Charlie. He will change when he's ready and hopefully he will do it before he does to much damage.
Whoopi has come a long way from Karen — way to go girl. She pulled herself, on her own, out of the gutter. There's more than a few commenters here who seem to find the gutter a comfortable home. Hopefully Whoopi will come to San Diego and reprise her one person character show — remember, the one you did at the old Gas Lamp?
Hey people—here's a clue about how to use a comment board. When someone says something that you want to reply to, ht the "reply" button directly underneath their comment. That way when their comment is deleted because of objectionable content, yours will be too Lord have mercy. It is apparrent that Ms. Goldberg is an intelligent and articulate human being. She expressed compassion and empathy toward a person who has challenges.
It is easy for her to empathasize, having first hhand experience. Until you have walked in one's shoes, how can one pass judgement? Apparently she has a great deal to offer, and that is why she is in the position to do so, and is compensated financially for doing so. With regard to racism, it is an arrogance that typically stems from a person's own insecurities. Itis easy to try to denigrade someone based on race, but at the root of this is a larger demon than that which Ms.
Goldber experienced. Its a shame 20 above is still stuck in Your ignorance is noted. What a poor cry for attention. Wow, I am completely astonished as the nasty, racist remarks from some of these people.
You may not like Whoopi but there is no need to talk this way. Grow up! If you have an opinion, share it, but do it in a civilized, educated manner. I feel for your kids! CNN - Where are you? Do you not monitor your comments? I am more disgusted with you right now, than the ignorant masses that are posting.
Unfortunately, in many of these cases, Charlie's head may not get to that decision but his heart will have something to say about it. Majority of Americans are respectful people by nature. But then we have those few that have zero respect for humanity unless it is preaching racism and intolerance. Your'e right, very childish comments on here. CNN should screen the retards who post such comments.. Mojo, do you realize that 'idiot' is several levels lower than 'retarted' on the scale of intellectual capacity?
So calling someone an idiot is pretty much the same as using 'retard' in a derogatory way, which you are criticizing another poster for doing. Also, 'sensitivity-challenged' is not a euphemism for 'idiot'. It could be a euphemism for Mojo17, however. CNN should not screen anything! Open forum should be just that, just because you don't like what someone has to say, does not mean they should be silenced. Well it's obvious that Whoopi Goldberg even having been a drug addict is far more intelligent and articulate than than most posters here.
I did not know that high functioning meant laying in bed for days in your own filth and scared of the "Boogie Man". Perhaps she just thinks she was high functioning when maybe she was just high. Why not? Please tell me what your definition of "Racist" is? In all reality, Americans are the least racist. You speak as if Brooklyn is a bastion of racial equality and neighborly love Actually, racism is the belief that there are inherent differences between people based on their race.
So I think a lot more people are racist than realize or care to admit. Dan, you left a part out of your definition. It also includes a belief that a particular race is superior over another. You can't give half an explanation. Thank you Whoppi For the other people comments.. Whoopi is giving her point of view that is up to Mr. Sheen and him only until he decides that help is needed. The last comment was extremely rude.
Hatred and racism is taught, it's learned. Prime example above. We allow our government to embrace immigrants and give them access to welfare and english courses, that we pay for, we allow them to fight to remain in the country although immigration officials have earmarked them to leave by using lawyers paid by the people. We allow affirmative action to provide forced opportunities in a system that is built on being better than the guy next to you, or you fail.
What does that say to the guy who built his business or opportunities only to have someone who is given the opportunity instead of earning it? Racism and hatred will always be alive because it is what people want. Seriously its You should be embarrassed by your comment That is all. Their addiction is obvious. Many high functiong addicts go for years and years with no one being the wiser. I agree with dogboy77 about low functioning addicts they are the one's quite close to rock bottom.
Another fine example of high functioning addict would be Rush Limbaugh, and even though I do not care for him I would not wish what cantstandaddicts posted earlier, on hm or any addict of any functioning kind low or high. Why do you think there are so many homeless addicts, and other addicts that still work every day and pay the bills? Rush Limbaugh is a hypocrite. He abuses, but thinks abusers deserve jail, not help except for himself.
Another low functioning addict: the ex-frontman of Alice in Chains. He was wealthy enough that pushers came to him and delivered drugs, like pizza. He died that way. Of course, an excellent example of a high functioning addict is smokers. They can go about their daily routine — sucking down cigarettes until their lungs are two blackened lumps. Not sure why people don't count them. Lol specialbreed another example of a low functioning addict are ones who shelter their views and reality with belief in gods.
There are no gods, get over yourself. You know there are children being abused world wide, there are people starving to death world wide, there is racial and religious hate world wide We need to get our priorities straight!
I guess that would mean that person should go around performing evil acts I hate your ignorance! She has no eyebrows: Have you ever noticed that before? No eyebrows at all. Apparently she shaves them off. Picture: Supplied. She is dyslexic: Goldberg wasn't diagnosed with the disorder until she was an adult.
She picked up her Oscar in for her role in Ghost , won a Grammy in for best comedy recording, won Emmies in and and was awarded a Tony in for the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie. She smoked marijuana before accepting her Oscar award: Goldberg was as high a kite when she got up on stage to accept her Oscar for best supporting actress for Ghost. In a video obtained by TMZ , Goldberg admits to using the drug to help calm her nerves at the awards ceremony.
While she may seem to have it all now, there was a time before fame when Goldberg had all odds stacked against her. At age 7, her mother Emma enrolled her in the Hudson Guild Children's Theater where she began her appreciation for acting.
However, as she got older, an undiagnosed case of dyslexia prevented her from excelling in school. Eventually, the learning disorder discouraged young Whoopi so much that she dropped out of high school and turned to drug use for an escape. As a young and homeless heroin addict, Whoopi was lost. Fortunately, a handful of friends were able to see the potential in her and encouraged her to get clean.
