Later on, using again, eating a piece of toast his front teeth fell out and he drove to the dentist with his teeth in his pocket asking if they could be put back in. After all this and $9M in rehab he kept using. Crazy thing is, about a year ago he said he was on death's door due to the pills, and presumably kept using. Keep in mind at the time of his death he was worth $100M, just saying he simply could not stop.
The worst addicts I’ve known don’t ever love anything but doing drugs. It’s really all that makes them happy.

That $100 million was worthless to him if he couldn’t spend it on drugs. I mean, your brain and pleasure receptors after 30 years are totally shot. Even if sober, dude is miserable.

He’s a guy who dated Baywatch chicks and Julia Roberts back in the 90s, yet chose drugs and never married or had kids. You really never heard from the guy post 2005. He was holed up somewhere high. He had an unlimited bankroll.


Now he’s old and fat and washed up and is supposed to be happy he’s sober? What fires up his dopamine receptors? Pickleball with friends and long walks in the park? Not likely. Some people are too far gone. He’s lucky he went quick rather than machines and colostomy bags again.
