Addictions are complex, but we do seem to have a variety of opinions regarding mental illnesses and chemical imbalances.

While he, and others, may well be more pre-disposed to addiction, there needs to be a sense of responsibility around his actions, if that is removed then we are effectively saying he should be locked up without access to alcohol or he will drink himself to death.

He can choose to get the right help to stop this, and is a fortunate man in that he has access to more help than most in his situation.

I feel sorry for the guy that he has demons, but I wouldn't let that just wash away all of his actions.

Agree with the point about him having more access to top quality help that many other alcoholics would not get but you could also flip it rounds and say he has to deal with things during a recover process or period that many alcoholics would not , the media fawning over his every move with some probably desperate for another fall of the wagon , the fame and fans who still can't see past the class clown type character of him when he was on the pitch in his prime who still think nothing of buying or asking him if he wants a pint , the paranoia he quite rightfully showed in his documentary a few years back due to the phone hacking he had to put up with for a decade or so by the tabloid press , obviously every alcoholic has their individual issues when in a period of recovery but these things must be a huge burden to someone at a time when they are in a very vulnerable state

WTF? That's a very strange post. I don't think K.A.I. was looking for sympathy he was stating his opinion!

You're a weird person :/

Clearly a fenian.
