    His experience with addiction is highly insightful, actually helped me out a lot. The addictive personality is so manipulative and will convince you that you can have just one but that just simply isn't the case with the addict and it is a tragedy.

    He made a great point about his upbringing most ppl miss. All the regrets in your life and shortcomings should be all the motivation to raise your kids to be better than you. It doesn't matter if your're a fuck up or not you should be making them better, if you're not than you ain't shit.
