18 years now my advice have something you love more than any habit

Why did you even start? To battle whatever? And then you end up with a worse battle, right?

@@abocas most opiate addicts start when doctors prescribe oxy to you for years...then suddenly stop without giving support for the dependency that occurs even with normal use. If you've never been through withdrawal you'll never understand the misery and pain it causes.

Indeed. Strong wisdom.

Agree 100% I remember well, RIP Gregory ❤❤❤

May the creator be with you brother 🙏🏾

You’ll get there. Stay strong ❤

It's been weeks now. Almost all the major withdrawal symptoms are gone, still dealing with insomnia. I have also revived my programming skills. Can't compare the situation today and three weeks ago.

@@everythingold-school.2512 That’s great bro!! Keep pushin💪🏾✌🏽💚

You are going to pull through. Whether you believe it or not because I believe it and God Will deliver.

Plus I should add, if what I saw was only a shadow of what he used to be, the drug usage makes a lot more sense. Not in the way you may think though. I could see promotion in the UK and USA wanting to commoditize him in the same way Dennis Brown was in the UK. promotion is always more interested in crooners. This means a lot more pressure to fulfill expectations, which can lead to drink in order to cope. The drugs weren't given with intention to make an artist a junkie, they're given to counteract the depressant effects of drink. The problem is frequent snorting will quickly affect the nasal passages, which can lead to smoking or intravenous. A slippery slope. I've see nothing instantly sober up completely plastered drunk quite like a bump.. I suspect this may have been part of the problem. It was a different era, drinking was a lot more prevalent across all segments of society, to the point it would shock some people if there were a time machine and they could go back.

Yeah they had some beautiful voice sad that they wasted their gifts

Same here I got intoxicated from 16 until 32 I'm now 35... 2 years clean you have to want it not to please others

Love you ♥️♥️

@@briet4320 thank you appreciate the❤️ best wishes for you and your family

@@laurenwashington4791 thank you so much for the comments and I wish you nothing but happiness in the future from jay in the uk 🇬🇧😎✌️

@Lennox Lindsay you have spoken the exact truth. For those battling addiction - to truly succeed first recognise your Lord, submit to His will, and give up your desires for His will. And know that giving up a thing disliked (a harm) for His sake is worth more than a thousand years of voluntary praise. Ask (pray) for this sincere determination that your desire will be transformed to dislike and and then disgust. Without that sincerity you will remain on the station of "recovering addict", always one day at a time, always one step from relapse.

So true!

this is not fully accurate.

I think he past away to soon but I also think he had a pure soul stayed treu to his heart even do he did drugs he sang openly about it in a few songs exactly how it works in other words to stay away from it or get clean❤love Mr isaaks

​@@findingstyle lol how🤔 u lick a pipe and they tell u ur dog died u tell them to cook it in a soup😢

Well said sir your 100% right. It's heartbreaking to know Gregory end up that way. In some ways I wish I hadn't seen this documentary. Drugs or not Rest Easy Cool Ruler you were a Lion.

Gil scott heron was there too also addicted to cocaine

Blessings 🙌

AMAZING STORY!! THNX!!

You should listen too aeka beka,dennis brown,bunny wailer

I do love all reggae music. Burning Spear Steele Pulse Black Uhuru

Akae beka yes i know him he from virgin island​@@cinema4elephants613

i forgot that he passed away. he made wonderful records and i wish he was alive and keeping his wife, june company for years to come. if you're going to explain the cool ruler's life, you have to focus on drug use (momentarily). obviously he had continued international success (he was gregory isaacs). i don't sense that you wanted his story to play out as it did, that you're gleeful telling it. thanks for problematic news i did and didn't want to know.

reggae appreciation society- i wrote (more or less) "you did a good job with documentary although it was hard hearing he suffered so much" and you have hearts for everyone but me and 1 other person. why? i wasn't knocking you or gregory isaacs!

I thought he was talking about a woman aswell

@@xJanay go back and listen to it after watching this video 💯

I always believed he was singing about a woman. Now you have said what the song is really about, it seems ironic that it is used on an advert on UK television for a cough relief medicine of the same name as the song and its known for some addicts to use the medicine when they can't get a fix.

Hello Shane, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

Wow thanks for sharing this epic flashback ✌️

Streetwalker is one of my favorite songs of all time, any genre.

2006 I think it was

Totally agree with you. 💯🇬🇧👍

He was still killing it live up until his death!!! Respect all versions of Jamaicas Number 1 Don!!!!

​@@MrAlistar99 Nahh, he definitely wasn't. Sorry to say, it was embarrassing. His lung capacity was low and so was his energy.

@@kayvancooten4657 he gave a good half hour-40 minutes. Tbh usually with Gregory people just glad that he turned up!!!

So pagans stay probably get paid by white people to destroy the man character, know Gregory personally was a very decent man, a decent human beings, full of love and energy.

Yes I

Yes bad energy most friends that take it are not their self anymore

😥

If that's true it was probably due to his appearances in the Jamaican movies, Marley could fill amphitheaters by the late 70s, at least on the west coast. I could see Issacs being more popular with the R&B crowds though, especially NYC.
