Is he proud or ashamed of his addiction

[LLockhart86]

Just curious to see what you all think. More curious to know what an addict thinks about this....

So, he names his cd relapse , after realizing how the drugs fucked up his life...However, after quitting because of the negetive things drugs do to your life...His next album is a drug themed album. And all over the CD he's talking about drugs and being on them.

Are these good or bad memories to him?

You know ( for the weed smokers here..) how you smoke weed a lot and your tolerance goes up and you smoke with someone who is a light weight and you kinda laugh and brag about how your tolerance is high and you can handle a lot. I consider that being proud of your high drug tolerance. For me, that carried over to other drugs as well. I would find myself talking about ( rather braggin ) that I could pop 5-6 X pills in one night and be alright, while others could only do 1 and would be fucked up for like 12 hours....

Do you think Em is proud of how much shit he's done and misses it? I mean, i know he looks at the bad shit and thinks fuck that, I dont want any part..Cuz Im in the same boat, however, I find myself driving down streets that I used to drive down all fucked up on shit and miss it.

Basically, does he miss it, and is that the reason why he talks about and raps about it so much...

go and ask him
how can we know?

I don't think he misses all that stuff at all, and that's one of the reasons why he doesn't want to bleach his hair blonde (other than being 37 years old). He said he hated himself during that drug addiction period, so I'm sure he's ashamed of it, but like a good man, he overcame those problems.

Ashamed.
I don't even think that requires an explanation.
An addiction is a weakness, and a weakness is nothing to be proud of.

Even though it is obvious he's ashamed of it, what would he have to be proud of it? What good did it bring him?

I hate comments like these.. you shouldnt bother posting if you wont respond to the question

Im not a smoker, but I can understand what you mean. Maybe hes not bragging about the fact that he could pop so many pills.. but proud that he was strong enough to quit while he was so addicted to that lifestyle

It gave him material for an entire album.

An album that many people detest.

I don't get this, what whould he be proud of?

[LLockhart86]

Proud was probably the wrong word....

No it def. was the wrong word.

Basically, it seems like he misses it, like he wishes he could still be doing it. Since its always still on his mind.

Speaking from experience here - I hate my drug days because of the long term negetive things it did to me ( for instance my teeth getting fucked up ) ..... However, I wish I could have those days back , or re-live them sometimes because of how fun it was....

I think about those days frequently.

I was kinda fucked up when I started this thread so I didnt explain myself correctly

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

for instance my teeth getting fucked up

Teeth are overrated.

I meant appearance wise, not practicality wise.
