Novak did not switch to Bam’s old role, Novak just made bam look sober lol Bams been an addict for a long time
@zippymufo9765 Жыл бұрын
The difference was that Bam is into booze and coke, which are more socially acceptable than heroin, so Bam was able to rationalize it in his head that he was trying to help Novak when in reality it was just toxic enabling.

Bam if you see this, I know you’re fighting your own battles now, but I just want to say that you are truly a saint for doing all the things you did and standing by Brandon Novak all those years. If I ever had a friend like you, I would consider myself the luckiest man in the world. Wish you all the best!

I would like to say something that so many people are overlooking. Novak and SteveO especially, Everyone is trying to make it seem like Bam is as bad as Novak was or SteveO and trying to paint a picture of Bam losing everything being drunk amd high 24\7. Its no where near that and honestly I would feel betrayed a bit if I was Bam. After everything Bam has done for them especially Novak you would think Novak would stand up for Bam, throw himself constantly at Bam calling or something. But no, just to let you know if by some crazy chance you read this Bam not everyone is on that bullshit and I understand to a point how you must feel. Just do your own thing like you've been doing. I hope your skating has improved I'm always down to watch you skate.

Pure ignorance.... what in the hell makes you believe heroin is worse than alcohol?? They are both horrible to be addicted to, they both cause a lot of deaths... yet alochol causes WAY more deaths than heroin. And soooo many more lives have been broken from alcohol than heroin. They are both worse but to sit there and say one is way worse than the other is extremely stupid. Probably best that you don't speak on things you clearly have no experience in dealing with.

Yup it's crazy how damn quick it breaks down their body and organs once someone becomes a real bad chronic alcoholic,especially if they are drinking hard liquor daily and are physically addicted. Alcohol withdrawals the DT's make heroin and opiate withdrawal look like a day at the beach.

I'm so pleased to hear bams resolution on this and also admit he was enabling him. I saw/ met Novak at a ffu gig and he was glamorised as 'pill Colin's'. It wasn't funny, it was tragic. I know how hard it is to love some one with addiction and the hardest thing is realising that to truly help, you need to let them hit rock bottom and help themselves. This doesn't always have the outcome you want and it's heartbreaking. Very brave to put this out there guys.
