If you were an alcoholic, you’ll always will be, even when you sober up for decades, one drink is just a bridge you should never cross. Not everyone that drinks is an alcoholic, but a recovered alcoholic knows you should not even try, not even socially. It takes awhile to accept. He’s spitting facts. -I’m an Alcoholic by nature, sober by treatment and strong will.

You have it wrong. Bowie knew his weakness and was sorry for the pain it caused others. He was staying clean and sober and rebuilding his relationships. He knew that just one drink would destroy it all and that's why he said that he was an alcoholic. I compare it to diabetes. There are certain foods that a diabetic can't eat just everything because it can have a serious outcome. As long as the diabetic sticks to a proper diet things will go well. A diabetic will always be a diabetic. An alcoholic will always be an alcoholic.

They played the Dali’ movie over and over that was supposed to cue his opening set but he said he couldn’t possibly go on without getting high first. The crowd was becoming rowdy.. The delivery was finally made backstage and he came on instantly calming the crowd. Although his talent superseded the drugs , his personal life was a mess.

@alexcarratu5554 Жыл бұрын
@@bugpal agreed. Bowie would never call himself a legend we all know him as, he was far too humble for that. There's an interview he did in 1977, where he said he wasn't a hero. Of course he was. He was a hero, legend and so much more than he credited himself for being - a true original in an entertainment world of clones.

Bowie was certainly a strange specimen but an honest and tender man at heart. He owns his flaws and weaknesses which today's popstars do everything to hide and cover up. his music and art brought colour, vibrance and cosmic energy to the musical world across many genres and has made him arguably one of Britain's most iconic and influential singers and artists. RIP David. You may have lost the battle with cancer but your legacy will go on winning the hearts and minds of aspiring musicians and singers forever ❤

“The persona!” 👏🏼 I identify with this so much. For many years, I thought I was an extroverted people-person. I didn’t realize until I stopped drinking that that’s not who I am at all. I am actually pretty introverted and I prefer alone time. The alcohol masked who I really was for a big portion of my life.
