    I’m not trying to play “can you top this”
    But, I do know how difficult it is to stay clean, with other pending health issues

    And what is the deal when you are given pain medication for surgery? And you enjoy it?
    Remember before anesthesiology a doctor would give you a bottle of wiskey, before he cut in to you
    This is not an excuse making comment
    I just do hope Steven gets back to being sober, so he can have a choice on what comes next for him
